FAQsVehicles are restricted at production as certain customers do not follow recommended guidelines. Many examples include service schedules, second-rate fuel and general negligence.
Unlock your vehicles potential at AAT with our car remapping and benefit from more power, more response and smoother delivery. In many cases, your vehicle will also be more fuel efficient once upgraded.
AA Technik provide different remap upgrades to suit all budgets, driveability and additional modifications to your vehicle. The types of services we can offer you include ECU Remapping, OBD Remapping, Chip Tuning and Diesel Tuning Kits.

Let’s touch on a few things we want to know before we start:
- What you use the car for?
- When do you need it most? Low down / Mid Range / Top End
- Delivery type? Smooth / Race
- Any particular requirements? e.g. Towing
- Are there any modifications on your vehicle?
We are just scratching the surface. This is what is known as a custom map, all software is developed from the original software on your vehicle. Call us today to discuss your requirements and we will organise a custom-upgrade for your car remapping.
Why go for an ‘Off the Shelf’ car remap when you can be individual?
A FEW THINGS TO WATCH OUT FOR
- Performance gains
Is it all about BHP? Although Bhp gives you an idea of the power output, it will not demonstrate the quality of the upgrade with regards to drivability.
For a driver that only drives mostly around town, is it fair that the power is at 6000 rpm? Maybe for fuel consumption but surely not for fun.
- Torque
- Power curve
- Throttle response
- Driveability
- Reliability
- Fuel economy
- and more
All these factors have to be taken into consideration when developing up-rated software for car remapping.
- Dyno
A dyno is certainly not needed to remap a car, all software should be developed on a dyno to start with, so for a company to say that they remap on a dyno? what does this mean? The software should all ready have been developed and tested! the only changes that one may need to make is slight changes because of software variations across the model range and you certainly do not need a dyno for this reason. If one would like to check air/fuel ratio while the engine is under load this can be done while driving on the road with the relevant test equipment connected to the vehicle. some would argue that this would be the most accurate way to test, as you can not simulate real road conditions on a dyno properly.
The other problem is people with dyno's claiming they can tune when they can't and the one's that do fiddle with readings, also it's worth mentioning that peak figures can be a bad example of the quality of a re map , one would need to also consider how the engine performs everywhere else in the rev range as your engine does not only run at 6000rpm after all.
- Live Mapping
We really love this one, many companies are claiming to be different because they offer live mapping for their customers, making them some what special! this is where they will connect a laptop up to your car's diagnostic connector and drive the car while another person "live map's the car", or should i say pretends to map the car. LIVE MAPPING CAN NOT BE DONE THROUGH THE DIAGNOSTIC CONNECTOR OF ANY CAR! The data cannot be extracted at a fast enough rate to be able to carry out a live map. The only correct way is to open the vehicle's ecu and connect an emulator, so you can transfer the data from the ecu in REAL TIME. along side this certain diagnostic tools and analysers are needed like air fuel ratio meter and det detect equipment if need be.
Ok so lets say after all that a company is able to live map, who says they are any good at it? You have to remember that a HIGHLY DEVELOPED custon map is going to be miles better than a POOR live map. It takes years of experience to be able to live map successfully! Lastly somebody cannot live map modern cars 100% unless of course they have original manufacturer tooling to do so. These tools are specific to the manufacturer only, and is not possible to purchase. So dont fall for it!
- Warranty
You may notice that some companies are offering warranty with all their software upgrades in case of engine damage due to their software. Most of the time this is plain marketing. A few things to consider here:
a) Ask them to give you a copy of their policy in writing, nine times out of ten they will not be able to
b) In case of any damage, it would be virtually impossible for someone to prove that the damage on your vehicle has happened as a result of a companies remap software.
Having said that there is no way a highly developed remap should do any damage to an engine as long as it was done correctly by someone who knows what they are doing.
If you have any questions, or would like to discuss anything with us feel free to give us a call. we would be more than happy to assist you, with your car remapping query.
