Title: Will this revo sps fit ok???
Post by: GOLDENBOY on January 16, 2013, 05:57:26 pm: Im finally getting edition 30 revo remapped next week, i have seen few revo sps switches coming up for sale, found one it is brand new and unused but isn't the latest "version" of the Revo SPS.
this is a version from around two years ago. This features all the same functionality as the new version of the SPS - except it may not be compatible with brand new cars released in the past couple of years with updated ECUs. Will this fit ok???

That switch is a sps not a sps plus one that uses software on your laptop.

Title: Re: Will this revo sps fit ok???
Post by: bacillus on January 16, 2013, 10:10:45 pm: It was £249.95 when it first came out in 2006. I'm pretty sure you can get a new one now for around £100.

Post by: Scrubadub on January 17, 2013, 11:12:14 am: JKM quoted me £150 on the day of remap and I believe that was with 20% discount

That one has no provision for changing BTF. A sps plus switch has more option settings than the one shown in the ebay pic.

So does that mean you cannot plug it into your car and computer and change them via the SPS software?

Correct, you need the select plus switch for doing that...

Post by: Marshall on January 18, 2013, 02:56:47 pm: The one I posted on eBay shows that it has a stock setting also performance A,B,C plus anti theft.
It also has the connection for the lead to connect to a pc.
It looks ok to me.
