Ford 2.0 EcoBlue ECU’s can now be remapped in-house – no shipping, no delays.
So if you drive a Ford Transit, Ranger, Focus, or Mondeo this article is for you.
For years, the Continental SID212 ECU has been one of the most sought after tuning solutions. Found across the across the Ford range in vehicle such as the Transit & Ranger, the demand for a tuning solution has always remained very high. The issue was always that it was one of the most heavily encrypted ECUs on the market. The first solution to market involved sending of your ECU and being without your vehicle for up to a week.
That has now changed.
WHAT IS
SID212
The Continental SID212 and its revised version SID212 EVO is an Engine Control Unit fitted to the Ford 2.0 EcoBlue & 2.0 TDCi diesel engines that was introduced around 2015.
The ECU was introduced to the market with such a high standard of write protection that it has remained protected from tuning until very recently. The level of encryption was compared to that of bank grade security to give you a perspective.
The first solution resulted in a a postal unlock service from hardware manufacturers to try and protect what they had discovered from competitors.
WHY WAS
REMOTE UNLOCK
A PROBLEM?
The initial SID212 solution was to send away the ECU to unlocking centres which resulted in being without the vehicle for up to 7 working days. These vehicles were the back bone of businesses that couldn’t afford downtime.
THE EARLY
WORKAROUND
Some companies found a work around to the downtime issue by sourcing second hand ECUs and having them stocked on the shelves unlocked and then coding in the ECU to the vehicle.
YOUR
ECU UNLOCKED
INSTANTLY
The latest release saw one of the longest standing hardware manufacturers in the industry disrupt the market place by releasing the protocol for bench unlock. This move meant things progressed very quickly and can now be unlocked without removing your ECU and can be completed the the OBD port.
WHAT DOES THIS
MEAN FOR YOU?
This is truly a major shift in the market and means anyone looking to make the most of the Ford vehicle can now benefit from increased performance and improved fuel economy without having to be without their vehicle for up to 7 working days.
It means that there is no risk of losing your SID212 ECU in the post, or the ECU getting delayed in customs paperwork or unexpected customs charges being applied.
Tuning your SID212 ECU has never been easier with a full OBD release meaning same day tuning.
