Remapping a R500D MBE ecu - unlocking code, anybody done it?

[albert286]

Hi

Looking to remap my R500D with MBE ecu. I understand these are locked by MBE/Caterham, I have heard that 1111 might work or 8654 and I've also been sent a bit of software that gives me 65535 from the .ecc file. According to the help file on Easimap6 there is an option to change the PIN under tools - it's not there... I think it might be there on earlier versions of Easimap. If anybody has remapped on of these or can give me any tips it would be very much appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

So the Easimap6 software isn't any good supplied by MBE/SBD then? Any idea which one I need?

I've also heard that it might need a firmware flash and a complete map writing for it. After reading lots on forums it doesn't seem the easiest of ecus to map etc. My tuner said the software wasn't very user friendly, I'll see how he gets on or I might dispose of it at get something a little more suitable.

Many thanks for the info. Mine's a 2010 car with diagnostic port. I have the cable and can read the live data but mapping is a bit above me (and I don't want to c**k it up!) Which pin code did you use? I understand you can switch it off but that doesn't seem available on Easimap6.

Thanks Simon, I was worried that might be the case. If you could PM me a price for a replacement and also if you do a launch control kit too? Or email me on [e-mail]
