    mate people make serious money on unlocking /remapping ECU as you need expensive kits so to make it worth their while or get money from you they arnt going to tell you how to do it. Get someone to do it or but an unlocked ECU as (correct me if im wrong) once unlocked will work universal with any model saxo

    however not a vtr/s ecu in a 1.4 furio an unlocked one for your canr or the same model/manufacturer ecu their will be loads on the for sale thread mate not expensive either dont think

    Ok keep your hair on if you read carefully I said correct me if I’m wrong clearly showing I wasn’t 100% sure so get your fact straight first mate before having a go at someone who at least tried to help its people like you that are in fact the irritating ones who think they would be good in trying to make someone feel bad.

    If your not 100% about something, refrain from saying it, unless your asking as a question for clarification. LOL at the rest of your statement.

    Why would you refrain from saying it? you put your point across and state “correct me if I’m wrong” meaning you think what you said is correct but someone needs to confirm it and if it isn’t correct someone tells you the correct way, which means you can learn from it in the future, that’s how you learn things so lol to your statement

    Can do it by leaving ignition on and just unplugging ECU also

    I dont understand the question.

    Turn the key so the ignition is on before removing the ECU. Unplug it whilest the ignition is on and the ECU is unlocked and can be used on another car.

    Edit: just saw he wasnts to use 1.4 ecu on vtr im not even ansering the question am i. Read it to fast ....


    in short it cant be done.
