Insurance companies have got wise to ecu mapping if your involved in a accident and haven't told them they will 100% void your insurance when they scan the ecu talking from experience
@@nickieo Exactly, they don't even look at the cars in person anymore or categorise the write offs properly they just look at pictures and decide, writing cars off for damaged bumpers and dents. That's why everybody's insurance has gone up.
They can’t tell for several reasons (only a stage 1) the ecu doesn’t say “mapped” for example. Secondly they don’t have time for that, the cars go to garage then onto copart which we buy from, they now have AI doing write off categories for them. They may have insinuated to you you had it mapped as a reason to try not to pay out then you coughed up, or they lied. They cannot see that oh x y z has put a map on here.
Honestly a bad idea.. you’re giving yourself more headache down the line when people have issues with cars you sell. Personally I’d also avoid maps that don’t have a rolling road printout as there can be issues on the test runs that one of these maps won’t detect without the live graph/rolling road. Not trying to be downer, just think it’s something you should think about again before jumping in as I can see you regretting it.
With the greatest respect, writing/uploading a slave file to the ECU of any car isn't remapping in any way shape or form. Remapping is all the work that goes into creating the master file for each vehicle. Adjusting all the relevant calibrations from the information gleaned via real-time data logs from an individual vehicle is remapping. I'm not demeaning what you are doing, and so long as the correct process is followed you won't be bricking anyone's ECU, the customer gets what they want and you're making money. I have no issues with any of that whatsoever, you are providing a service and adding value to your business but you cannot call what you are doing remapping. Sorry to be pedantic but it is what it is. I wish you all the best.👍
I don't disagree with tuning road cars (in principle). However .. personally .. if I wanted a faster car I would prefer to buy a faster car. That way, I get the benefit of upgraded brakes, suspension and steering.
Factory software is very limited for a whole host of reasons including tax, emissions, blah blah. It’s good to unlock the full potential of your vehicle if you’re a petrol head. You also get better fuel consumption too which is an added bonus. Oh and any real petrolhead will have decent brakes and tyres etc anyway.
A major point in this has been lost in translation i think. The initial and primary idea is to help car dealers make sure cars are going out without a tune on. This is quite a big issue for car dealers at the moment. A growing trend in the tuning industry are car dealers making sure they are not sending cars out with tunes and deletes.
Not completely true, many manufacturers build engines that are completely able to take it, such as a bmw 114i has exactly the same same engine , injectors, turbo , gearbox etc as the 120i and the only difference is the ecu map, and a remap more than doubles the power, over 100bhp from a simple map , a lot of manufacturers do this these days , saves making multiple different engines Granted, a 1.0 turbo fiesta might become a little strained, but they are sold with different outputs , and a map on the lowest power one is harmless provided it’s done right, some bellend doing it on your driveway with Chinese clone equipment is dodgey but mobile eco tuning have been in the game a long time and know what they are doing
Lots of small 3 cyclinder turbo petrol engines love a remap. Had our old 2017 kia rio 1.0 (99bhp) mapped to a solid 140bhp with matching inctease in torque. Turned the car from so so to a fiesta chaser. All for £299.
Good onya Joe. I think many people are completely missing the point. This is a simple system to moderately help with power, performance and economy (yup, check out your mpg, bet it's improved) for a reasonable price. For those that want a complete re-map and take an engine and g/box (to within an inch of its life) then of course you'll be taking it to a specialist with a rolling road etc. We all know how much THAT costs. And yes, advise the insurance company blah blah. Lighten up people, Joe's just giving folks another string to their bow as and when required 😉
I genuinely don’t get why so many people feel the need to try and piss on joes videos with they’re “know it all” opinions and coming out with comments like “you need to tell your insurers “ like they are the only people that know these facts , you must be some seriously boring people
@ no, no where did I write that, I’m saying, it’s pretty common knowledge and dosent need 50 replies saying the same thing from people acting like they are an oracle and are the only person that knows the laws. I clearly wrote that telling insurers is a fact, but dosent need everyone writing the same shit
@yommonaghan785 To be fair , The genaral public are as thick as mince thats why !! , They take their cars for a MOT with no washer bottle fluid , bold tyres, lights not working ... then suprised when it fails .
I can tell the guy giving you the training is a very technical guy but f'n useless at explaining anything 😂😂 I can guarantee you left there with no idea what you're doing.
I had a plug in chip box for my Megane 1.5dci. Great piece of kit. Made it accelerate much smoother and faster and I didn’t notice any difference in fuel economy
You have no idea what you're talking about. Any of it: how difficult or not my life is, what I may want mapping facilities for, what you think is going on in my business(es). You watch some videos and think you know it all... 🙄
Love all your vids buddy, this guy might have been speaking Hebrew for all I understood!! Guess I'll have to stick to putting new points and plugs in for my tuning 😅😅😅
Tell the insurance company or have no insurance. They do look at the ECU if you have a big smash. Having a secretly modified car is a huge indicator that any collision was your fault. Get a waver signed by the customer that they will inform the insurance.
They don’t but ok😂collision investigation would have a go but they can’t prove you mapped it, when and where it was done all they can see is file change which could mean repairs too. You admit it and you’re done for.
Always concerns me that doing this will put strain on an engine and blow it up. Would certainly never advise someone doing this if the car is under manufacturers warranty.
@ The relevance would be, were it the Cat S, that car looks as if it’s had a heavy front ender and had a questionable repair, adding more power to something like that without knowing the quality of the repair would be madness
@@Graham-rc1cpyou don’t know what you’re talking about. My business is repairing crash damaged cars for about 7 years now, then we sell them through another. Cat S can sometimes mean the wing needed changing because they get it wrong a lot and “on the safe side” seems to be what they go with. Sometimes the inspector never sees the car, only pictures.
Hi, love your Channel. Just a small observation and in the politest manner, I wonder if you should have advised that there MAY be insurance implications when a car is re mapped? I don’t wish to teach you to suck eggs so please don’t be offended, I’m only trying to be helpful as there MAY be people out there who could potentially fall into a trap if they don’t advise their insurer. Keep up the great work and thanks.
To be honest I would avoid any used car that’s been mapped, just my view not a great idea, you sell some nice cars as it is, for me mapped high end cars… means avoid.
@ because most of us when we lay out a decent amount of money we need to take into consideration the cars history, you only map a car to get better bhp, for me means it’s likely to be thrashed, or at least driven hard. Not knocking you, I like your garage, but for me mapping is a wide berth.
Didn’t really answer my question. How do I know it’s been mapped, unless the seller tells me? This kit gives me the option to at least put it back to standard
Long time follower of your channel and watched over 50% of all your stuff now This video though i think is going to come back and bite you in the ass a bit. With the greatest respect......you didnt "learn" how to remap in less than 30 minutes!! What you have actually done is follow instructions from someone and became an "basic expert" with support. Your knowledge of what you actually did is limited to what you were told and what you experienced when you stuck your foot down. I was actually thinking of having my Golf remapped and was excited when this video dropped (was one of the recalled ones due to the efficiency con from VW and has ran "delayed" since they "fixed" it)......but i wouldnt trust you to do it based on this video and visible 30 minutes training. Good luck though fella....just be carefull out there.
You're playing with fire with this I reckon. You map someone's car and it goes wrong next week, they're going to come looking for you, whether it's your fault or not. I reckon you're going to need people to sign waivers if you're going down this road. I can't imagine you're going to be able to say "well Eco tune said it was fine". Or are you saying you're only going to use this to flash standard maps back?
Isn't this tuning rather than remapping. A remap would require you to manipulate parts of the programming based on output data files and in the process you would also need to upgrade some of the parts to avoid them blowing. Better inlets... forged parts.... different cats etc depending on the power change. To be honest I wouldnt buy a vehicle that was remapped so a good idea to check it for remapping and return it to the manufactures spec. From experience this is an insurance nightmare... remap reported (premium rejected or increased) new part installed to complete the remap (not retune) insurance company rejects the modification etc
Tuning and remapping are the same thing just different ways of saying the same thing. There’s different “stages” as they are now called. Stage 1 requires no hardware, stage 2 on most vehicles requires intake, intercooler, downpipe and better flowing exhaust (sports cat in most cases). Stage 3 is changing turbos, injectors and so on.
I don't recommend vehicle maps at all... Too many times we tell customers to get the maps removed either due to emissions/fueling/corruption issues etc. honestly not worth it especially if you're not going to modify the vehicle in otherways too. However, great vid though Joe, very informative :) (edit) ngl no doubt a map enhances a vehicles performance especially if you get it done properly like here rather than jammy dodger off fb with a laptop and a slammed caddy van 😅
It’s 2024, proper tuners like mobile eco tuning know what they are doing , when you get idiots using Chinese clone equipment, yes but done properly to the right vehicles it’s perfectly fine, I’m also a mechanic and don’t sprout advice to people on stuff I don’t understand properly , which is pretty obvious by your reply. Done right, it’s perfectly safe
Not liking how the agent asked Joe what car he had. Do they not check by VIN? Honestly asking, as installing the wrong one may brick the ECU, and some cars will have different engines in the same model.
Yes a friend bought a brand new M4 and got it remapped, 6 weeks later wrapped it around a lamppost. The loss assesor requested a engine (ECU) check and found out it was not original map so insurance company said na ya good. He now has a £55k debt and a lump of mental!!!
Isnt it a bit irresponsible not to mention about telling your insurer in the video? Seems just a full-on advert for this DIY kit. I'm disappointed because this is usually a good car enthusiast channel.
I would never recommend a remap unless you have the actual car on a rolling road and customise the map to the specific car. Every car is slightly different and will need tweaks and changes to any base map. I would never ever put a generic map on a car no matter how it has been done it's just not worth it, a good company will not touch a car if there are any issues.
Typed in my registration number on their website and unfortunately the details is wrong for my vehicle so that means I would pay for a remap which is not compatible to my vehicle what happens if there are issues afterwards?
What a load of drama this will bring !! Happy court cases and broken cars !! Can you show the disclaimers you have to sign …anything goes wrong it will be your fault clutches gearboxes ..all for what ? Completely pointless for a retail outlet.
These mobile map guys are a joke they have no idea what they’re doing just upload whatever they’ve been sent with no clue how it works. Guy started near me and he’s wrecked one of our cars.
@ it wasn’t MET but they were signed up to a similar system. The problem stands if you’re loading a map to a car and don’t understand what’s really going on it’s fairly risky. Few bad experiences our end
Can a re-map lower emissions. If it can, and be proved. Do owners have then have the right. To have their vehicle re-classified from a high, emission tax. To a lower band. 🤷♂🤷♂
Personally wouldn't touch a car that's been remapped with a barge pole regardless of how good a deal it was - high probability it's been owned by a moron. Obviously this is a sponsored video which is fair enough but yeah, don't understand it.
With the greatest of respect, that's because you don't understand cars as well as you should. Half of these remaps are just eliminating pointless restrictions for manufacturers to hit emissions and can improve fuel economy, longevity of the car etc. It's not all about flooring it everywhere.
Remapping is the quickest way to shorten the life of any engine, the manufacturers spend millions to find the best all round mapping for the engines they design and manufacture so why mess with it?
I dont go for all this modern mapping mumbo jumbo , bring back Crypton Tunning and the MK 2 ford cortina 1600E. Its a time when cars were cars and mechanics didnt have TopDons ( no offence topdon)
Remapping. For the young and dumb who couldn't afford a better car in the first place, don't have the IQ to understand their car and all parts were built for a specific power rating and who will spend their remaining money on stick on tat, rather than servicing. How to tank the resale value of any car in 30 minutes.
cannot see the point of making any car go faster with all the speed cameras on our roads and motorways.also the speed limits (30mph/20mph..recipe for a driving ban for sure. not to mention somebody getting killed due to the upgrade in speed.sorry to be a killioy, its just my thoughts.

Do not remap a car that's still within manufacture warranty or not tell your insurance company. Both these are null and void if you mess it up!!!
That pretty much one of the most obvious things ever
No, use a different ECU for a car in warranty. Don’t tell your insurance it’s pointless, unless you have mods on there anyway which most of us do.
A good way to put extra stress and strain on the engine.😮

With the greatest of respect, that's because you don't understand cars as well as you should. Half of these remaps are just eliminating pointless restrictions for manufacturers to hit emissions and can improve fuel economy, longevity of the car etc. It's not all about flooring it everywhere.
Remapping is the quickest way to shorten the life of any engine, the manufacturers spend millions to find the best all round mapping for the engines they design and manufacture so why mess with it?
They are mostly mapped for emissions reasons and different power options actually but OK 😅
I dont go for all this modern mapping mumbo jumbo , bring back Crypton Tunning and the MK 2 ford cortina 1600E. Its a time when cars were cars and mechanics didnt have TopDons ( no offence topdon)
Remapping. For the young and dumb who couldn't afford a better car in the first place, don't have the IQ to understand their car and all parts were built for a specific power rating and who will spend their remaining money on stick on tat, rather than servicing. How to tank the resale value of any car in 30 minutes.
R tech if you know you know 😂
Just buy a faster charabanc?
Was the guy teaching how to remap drunk?
Yes I try to be most days, some days I do come in sober. Join the motor industry they said
@@MobileEcoTuning😂😂
😂
So just go down the road and get the professionals at eco tune to do it for cheaper price. Got it 👍
By all means 🤷♂️
Couldn’t agree more!
interesting
cannot see the point of making any car go faster with all the speed cameras on our roads
and motorways.also the speed limits (30mph/20mph..recipe for a driving ban for sure.
not to mention somebody getting killed due to the upgrade in speed.sorry to be a killioy,
its just my thoughts.
That’s ok pal you just drive 20 everywhere 👍
Just make sure you stick to the left lane whilst doing so
@@lifeisbetterwithj and you stick to 80 everywhere.see where you end up muppett
Sorry but how bloody boring. Oh dear.
Clear off then 👋
No one is forcing you to watch it are they, if you don’t like something, scroll on by and keep your shit opinions to yourself
What a reaction to someone expressing a view about one of your videos, you really are a charmer
@@paulm6397 you can express a view without being rude, can’t you? And how sad are you trying to put me down for telling him to leave if he’s bored? Tragic
Your videos are going downhill so fast, there is no way I would buy any car from you. For whatever reason, you seem to concentrate on making videos that will only damage your core business?
Buddy, you know who nothing about my business(es) and fear not, I’ll just about cope if I don’t sell you a car 🤦🏼♂️
I know a lot more about your businesses than you realise but there’s another example of how you react to anyone that dares to have an opinion that differs from yours. You really can’t resist can you?😂
