Emailed my original map yesterday so just waiting for the new map now - hopefully for the weekend ...:-)

 

We're doing our best to get through them ASAP!

Sorry I didn't see this, the update is that they've all been shipped out and you can expect delivery of them tomorrow!

Sorry for the extra couple of days delay everyone!

On another note - there is someone who unfortunately has to drop out due to unforseen circumstances, which means we have ONE unit left available. Is anyone interested?

Hi is this sts unit away? if not I will take it please

Anyone had a map back yet?

Loaded mine on Saturday. Went for a drive and saw a small opportunity to overtake - WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE !

 

Magic.

We're working on it now, we have another Yeti doing a similar thing so we'll update you ASAP.

Any chance of an update on this ?

 

Thanks

Thanks

 

Forum names and real names are too difficult to keep track of unfortunately, I guess you will have emailed in to us?

 

Thanks

Sorry, yes, had update from Matt again via email today - tried another STS update this morning, still not working though :(

 

Cheers

Can't help but feel a bit narked off about this now!

 

I took the plunge on this based on the assurances the Yeti CR170 was tuneable with the STS.

Paid a lot of money, waited 2 weeks to receive the STS, then found it doesn't work with my Yeti.

I've now had it for a week and still can't use it :(

Already paid up for the Briskoda How Fast event this weekend and am getting the sinking feeling I'll be doing it in a stock Yeti.

 

I know Matt's been looking into this, but I was really hoping it would have been fixed by now.

Have you telephoned Shark, to discuss further?

Yes I phoned up and reported the fault last week, then have continued discussion with Matt via email.

Just frustrated that it's taking this long to fix.

I am a bit disappointed with them also,

 

STS unit arrived Monday, Standard Map emailed to them Monday still not had Upgraded Map back.

 

Have just got off the phone today, same response as yesterday, they are very busy and only have one Mapper.

 

Have still not confirmed the standard Map is with them which would at least be a start and cannot even confirm I will get the map this week.

 

Having heard all the good things on here, its a shame, I just hope I am impressed by the Map when it does eventually arrive.

It's frustrating for us too.. we want happy customers! We are in the hands of a third party for support on the units as we don't manufacture them ourselves, so we are working with them to resolve it. We have done so on another Yeti that had a similar problem, he was local so thankfully we could easily see his car. It's possible that we might need to see your car to resolve it too.

 

I appreciate the timescales have been a little longer than normal but I hope everyone can understand that it's the nature of the beast with a group buy. I am working my hardest to get everything done as quickly as possible, maps and support wise.

I've just received your map looking at the name, I didn't receive it the first time. I'm working to get as many done today as I can!

Thanks for replying.

 

Le's hope you don't need to see my car - as the whole point of me going the STS route was that I could do it myself, as I never get time to get over to you...

Asked for a price for this.  Reply came from another member. Not impressed even if the price was correct would have preferred if the answer had came from the seller. Sat on the fence for a while but decided not to buy. Now looking at muddyboots problems so glad I didn't . Aftersales is everything when problems occur . Hope it works out for you .

Thanks Ben,

 

Map received and installed now. Hopefully get the opportunity to try it out this evening and over the weekend.

Any chance of an update on getting the STS working with my car ?

 

I've not heard anything in over a week, tried emailing Matt over last couple of days but no reply (perhaps he's not in?).

 

I really would like this fixing please, it's been over two weeks since I reported the problem.

On another note - there is someone who unfortunately has to drop out due to unforseen circumstances, which means we have ONE unit left available. Is anyone interested?

 

Ben did this get taken?

 

After driving a PD130 today with your map on it I can confirm my Quantum map is not a good one so I would take this space if it is still available.

muddyboots have you had a solution to this ongoing problem. 

It seems the problem is with the STS box - which is a Powergate 3 device made by Alientech (customised for Shark),

 

According to the Alientech supported vehicle list, my CFJA-engined Yeti should be compatible.

It isn't - although it has worked with other CFJA engined cars (including another Yeti I believe).

I think they've had a similar problem with another Yeti too.

There must be some subtle variation in some ECUs fitted to certain Yetis...

 

Currently Shark can't do anything about the STS until Alientech fix the support for it, and I think for that to happen, Alientech need to carry out a full ECU read from a car with one of the affected ECUs. Timescale for this is unknown and not really under Shark's control.

 

They did offer me a full refund if I didn't want to persevere.

 

However I'm taking the car to Shark later this week.

I think the plan is to see if it's possible to read off the full base map, with a view to getting STS support for my ECU added via Alientech. If that happens then I'll be able to use the STS to switch between mapped & standard.

I think Shark will still be able to map the car for me regardless, and STS support may/may not come along in time if Alientech manage to add support.

 

So hopefully, one way or another, I'll be mapped by the end of the week.

Missed out! Gutted :(

The Yeti is finally remapped

 

Took the car up to Shark last Friday. They had to do a full read of the ECU and send that off to Alientech so they could update the STS box to work with my car.

 

I had the choice of either leaving with the car remapped "directly" by Shark (which would mean I couldn't then use the STS to switch between standard/remapped) - or leave with the car still standard, but with the STS suppoort coming very soon afterwards.

I chose the latter, as I wanted to be able to switch to standard in future if need be.

 

Left Shark around lunchtime; when I got back in the afternoon I hooked the STS up to my laptop and downloaded updates from Alientech.

The STS could now read the standard map off my ECU

 

Emailed the map to Shark. It was mid-afternoon on Friday before Bank Holiday weekend, so I wasn't hopeful of getting the new map back, but Ben emailed it over, sometime after 5pm.

Noticed the filesize of the returned map was significantly larger than the standard one. I wanted to check this was normal before attempting to load the new map. Emailed Ben again, didn't think much chance of getting a reply until the weekend was over but he replied around 10pm on Friday night to say it's perfectly normal.

 

Loaded the map on Saturday; as previous poster mentioned it does take a little while (prob 15 mins or so).

 

Finally got the chance to drive it properly yesterday, and it was worth the wait

 

Nice smooth power increase; I thought the CR engines revved quite freely anyway but now it's much more willing higher up the rev range than it was.

 

Thanks to Ben for getting it all sorted out on Friday.

Missed it! Damn!

I think I met you there on that Friday. I'm glad yours was sorted does it move a bit more briskly now?

Any idea when another similar offer will come up like this shark?

Cheers
