We do these for many different OEM ecu's.

A couple of good reasons do map switches are:


1) Race fuel and normal fuel.

2) A few customers have taken them with lower boost maps and rev limiters in one map for their girlfriends safe use.

3) A Valet map that will only allow a person to move teh car around for servicing etc. Say with a 3krpm rev limiter.

We normally supply these map switch system on a key switch for added security. Select girlfriend or valeter map and remove key. Job done.

SWEET Stu! when you flick the girlfreind switch it would be even better if the bumpers grew an extra foot aswell and disables reverse gear so she cant try and park the thing!

No, we can probably hook up a swop board for that. The problem is, i would need to know what sort of prom your tuner used and weather or not its encrypted, as if it is, its a no go.

many aftermarket ecu's do this if that's the route you want to go down

girlfriend's safe use? that's a bit sexist and patronising isn't it stu?


































if you want to keep your car safe from your girlfriend, don't give her the keys

cant you just control your right foot?

hardly seems worth it swapping between 250-350bhp on a clio.

the stuff about the girlfriend/valet mode seems very clever stu
