It was a toss up between the bike and the car this morning..... Re-mapped the car and it won. Drove to work, oodles of power round the 2.5k mark, but very sensible MPG when pootling along. Most pleased. A very useful mod. Thanks again!

There has to be one, and I'm it:

When installing STS it says read ECU before I get to choosing the car part. So, then when connecting to car it says no ECU found, check power, cables and connection...

Help?

Have you got an aftermarket head unit? The k line i think its called stops the STS gettin throu to your ecu. Doesnt do it with OEMradios. Its one of the wires that comes out the back that needs the snip (this is what ben said i needed to do with mine)

10/10 for shark!! Thanks again Ben for all your help!!

Its alot better than the standard map, so much smoother, none of that huge lump of power coming at once then goings. Its now a nice smooth power all the way through the rev range making the car more enjoyable to drive and alot quicker lol. Another bonus is that i seem to be getting better MPG!!

Oh and 'Mute' you might want to read this :S http://www.sharkperformance.co.uk/news/article.asp?id=129

Cheers for that fella, I phoned Ben earlier on. Me connecting with the wrong firmware caused the ecu to lock out. 40 mins drive will get the ecu to unlock itself... Going to do that now, and connect with the right firmware next time :-)

Map successfully downloaded from the car... So if anyone else does what i did, wipe the STS, install the right firmware, drive for 40 mins then connect the STS :thumbup:
