Shark STS unit

Featured Replies

Seeing as a couple have sold recently, due to circumstances beyond my control I am selling mine as well.

Unlocked Shark STS unit, £80 inc postage or £75 collected. Still in the box.

Payment by PayPal or cash, buyer to pay any PayPal fees.

£75 posted - £70 collected :-)

One went for £65 posted quite recently. Are you interested in matching that? Cheeky offer perhaps but no harm in asking.

  • Author

At the moment, no :-)

A couple of people are interested, if it doesn't go I am in no rush and can always eBay it.

All fair points :-)

I was only pushing my luck as I'm not convinced I'd actually use it and if I got it cheap I could always sell it on again.

I am interested.

If i purchase this what else would I need to do in order to get a map on my car? I am guessing I would obtain a file from my car send this too Shark - They mod the file and I put it back on the unit?

How much would this cost me from Shark anyone know?

299 + 10% discount for freedom members

you set the STS up to your car then download your ECU to the box, then contact Shark and send the file to them, then 24 hours later you will have your file back ready to upload to your car..

the STS also works as a code reader, and you can also do something to stop your car being started but i haven't got that far yet

Yeah you can immobilise the car with the unit. So even if someone breaks into your house and steals the key, they can't start the car. Handy if you go on holiday or leave the car alone for any other reason.

And just to confirm, the unit is unlocked (the original map has been put back on the car) and has been erased ready for a new map to be downloaded to it.

Than I have another question about it...will shark remap a new map for free or how much will that cost after an unlocked unit is obtained?

  • Author

It won't be free, you will have to pay shark for the map. For prices, give them a call.

£65 plus postage, if no takers by the weekend it will be on eBay.

Right, I don't begin to pretend to know what I'm talking about so apologies for the dumb questions.

Will, this unit allow me to clear error codes regardless without getting the remap file from Skark?

I have an error code in my vRS after the body shop removed the door and caused an airbag error code so I want to clear that but it's my 1.8T Superb I'm thinking of remapping so I need it to do the clear job first.

Thereafter, can I use it for checking/clearing codes on either car or is it locked to the one I've remapped?

Interested!

AFAIK it can clear codes on any car and you don't need to have done the map first.

Not sure if it will clear airbag errors though, never tried.

The unit only clears codes on the Engine ECU and cannot clear airbag codes.

Andyvee put my name provisionally down for this please

Will do, I am holding for someone else but you are 2nd on the list :-)

Cheers bud.

I am hoping someone from Shark looks at this, if we get no reply I will PM Shark on sunday morning.

Not sure what it is I'm required to look at? The prices for our maps are on our website
