Default Not very happy at all

Just got my hands on my new car - ASBO (Focus ST-2)

Will get some pics up later when the weather gets a bit nicer.



Just been nosing around the electronics and its got a bloody bosch ecu.

I expected an EEC5 or EEC6


Fooking BMW gets everywhere

Actually, I have extensive knowledge of the bosch ecu range as I helped
to write a lot of the software out there that most people use to remap them.
Done extensive work with serial flash reprogramming and on board
diagnostics on nearly all of the types.
As for EEC4, I reverse engineered it 15 years ago and I can tell you
despite its being old design, It is quite sophisticated, just a bitch to
manipulate in real time.
