Don't suppose you can tell me what wires go where can you?
Thanks

I'm having just as much trouble sorting out the software and a cable for the unit as I am the wiring instructions. But yes I'd map it myself if I can get the above.
For now though I just need either the wiring diagram or someone to tell me what goes where on our ECU.

The softwares highly classified! sort of, it is available thru the dealers website but you need access names and passwords for that area. However, its useless with out the correct cable, and as far as i remember, it isnt just a simple serial to serial type of thing, the proper one used by tuners has a box in the middle which houses 2 knobs which are used for some sort of adjustment or selection, you need the actual cable which can only be bought from Dastek, and they wont just sell them to anyone, you have to be a dealer. I used a unichip about 3 years ago, back then i looked into all this, even asked my good friend/local tuner about getting the gear, but it wasnt that simple. Dastek ask too many questions.......... they would require the broken unit back etc etc, so even if the cable was damaged and the excuse used to buy another, they wud want the broke one back. This is the only way thou, see if your local tuner is willing to help.

I don't know why they are being so up tight about it all. Take the tuning I do on other ECU's, I have no problem at all getting access to the software for the MoTeC, AEM, TEC3, Nemesis, etc. And I can buy replacement tuning cables for £20.
The Unichip isn't half as feature rich as others and it's only a piggy back, so what's the fuss? If I wanted I've just install a few of my Apexi piggy backs to my Pulsar, but all I really want to do is tweek the fuel and remove the speed limit. Dastek could learn a lot from others.

i tend to agree with Ben, the unichip is good, however it aint all that, but obviously it depends on your funds. Its pretty flexable when tuning but if you want something with more potential, go with an Emanage or something along those lines.

I agree that it's not all that really. As I said I only want to remove the speed cut and lean the fuel out in the mild vacuum / low boost sections of the factory map, if Dastek are being awkward then I'll just install one of my spare S-AFC's and fit a speed jumper. I wouldn't spend big money on the Pulsar because it's just my second car for when my 2's off the road.
Still if someone can send me the wiring to install the unit on my car, with the map already on the unichip it will be fine for what I need. I'll check it's ok on the rolling road after I've installed it and if it's fine be done with it.

Hi Guys,
Noticed via our webstats quite a few links from this post, so I thought I'd better reply, please be gentle
The reason we closey gaurd our data, is because it costs so much to develop i.e. software time, hardware development R & D on individual vehicles etc. The Unichip was the very first product of its kind ever & most systems have in principle copied the concept of how the Unichip works. We have actaully taken legal action against a company who have used our data to their benefit. What they actually did was to use all our technical drawings as the basis of their own, not that serious you may think, but given that it has taken us over 10 years to develop a couple of thousand diagrams which in turn probably cover in excess of 5000 different vehicle variants, you can probably understand why we are not keen to give the data away.
I think because there is not a lot known outwith our dealers about the Unichip's technical capabilities, a lot of people put it down, saying things like the Emanage is better etc. I can assure you that having mapped & disected an Emanage it is not a patch on the Unichip, the only thing the Emanage can do that we can't is data logging, but given that all our work is done on the dyno, we don't have the same need for it.
It is however true that there are a few specialised piggyback units for specific cars that perform better than the Unichip for that unique application, purely because they have focused on an individual application where as we keep our product general to cover as broad a range as possible. However the fruits of the last 3 years development will be released soon, to deliver a piggyback ECU which will give capabilities similar to that of say something like the MoTeC M600.
I hope that has cleared some stuff up & also that you understand why we do not give our product info away.
Cheers,
Gerry

oops, Gerry big boss man from Fife RUN! LOL
Thanks for letting us know Gerry, but to be honest, i dont think even if i had software for it back then, i wouldnt have known what exactly to do with it. Looking forward to your further developments.
