KWP2000 Plus ECU Flashing Cable for BMW, VW, Mercedes, Ford

This KWP2000 Plus ECU flasher and a laptop computer are all you need to turn your normal ride into a powerful, responsive, fuel efficient speed demon. By reading and writing data to your car's engine control units (ECU), you can achieve better initial acceleration, more responsiveness with less throttle input in all gears, gains on power and torque throughout the entire rev range, and overall improvements in your vehicle's torque, power, and brake horsepower (BHP). Normal petrol engines can achieve up to 15% gains in BHP and up to 20% more torque on the entire rev range. Petrol turbo engines can achieve up to 30% more BHP, and diesel turbo engines can achieve up to 50% more BHP and 75% more torque. These improvements reduce the need to shift down unnecessarily and allow you to overtake your competitors quickly and safely. Using this cable and the included software is easy. There is no need to physically replace chips, connect extra wires, or adjust hardware. Just connect one end of the cable to your computer's USB port and the other end to your car's OBD port.

Frequently Asked Questions

• Does this cable let me perform chip tuning?
  Technically, "chip tuning" refers to physically replacing ECU ROM. The advantage of this cable is that you do not have to physically replace or alter any hardware in your vehicle. Simply plug one end of this cable into your vehicle's OBD port and the other end into your computer. You can now perform ECU flashing on your computer.
• Can I flash all of my ECUs? Can I backup data from all my ECUs?
  Some ECUs can not be flashed with this OBDII connector. In this case you have to remove the ECU from the car to flash it. Some ECUs can not be saved with this flasher.
• Once I've connected this cable to my car, how do I read and write my car's ECUs?
  First turn the ignition on to position 2. Do not turn on the engine. On your computer, select the ECU you want to access from a list. To read the ECU, click the "Read" button to access the original data. Save the file to your computer's hard drive for editing. To write to an ECU, click the "Write" button and follow the instructions on screen. When you are finished, turn off the ignition and wait 10 seconds. That's it!
• I am a complete newbie when it comes to cars, but I really want to race my car. Is this the right kit for me?
  Actually, using this cable and its software interface is so easy that if you can use a computer, you can definitely use it. However, if you don't know anything about cars, ECUs, or flashing, we highly recommend that you ask a friend or mechanic for help before you start writing to your car's ECUs. But don't worry, if you make a backup of your car's data first, you will be able to restore your car's data if you make a mistake.
