well the other day i disconnected my battery and due to this it wiped my Revo remap :/
has anybody else experienced this? if i knew this was gonna happened im sure i wouldn't off done it or bought an sps switch...
i think its a bit crap that its not a cheap map(£500)
i contacted the closest place that could put it back on ( actual revo told me to do this) and its at sheffield statler ... first they said it wouldnt cost anything then i said what about if i put a decat on and want stage 2...i then said i wont bother and said just want the orignal map put back on..but they are wanting to charge me £50 to put it back on and 'if' i go back for more work they will knock it off bill..but i dont want any work done by them because i can do all the work thy could offer me myself...
has anybody got the software that i could use or?
my mate can put maps on cars he quoted tho (If you can find one I can flash it, if it's like a vauxhall tho it'll need hardware and software numbers coding otherwise it won't go on)
sorry if its abit confusing all my mumble but im sure you can get the idea lol
thanks
-
You need to find someone local who has an SPS box... OR any revo dealer will be able to put the settings back on but will charge you
-
some places will do it free.. who put the software on it in the first place?
-
What rich said
-
so would they be able to just put it back on my car from there box? can you download the software from anywhere?
and its abit annoying being charged for it ..what happens if your battery dies ..so aswell as a new battery you have to pay x amount to get your mapped put back on everytime...
so next question has anybody got an sps switch round worksop area? near sheffield also and doncaster
some places will do it free.. who put the software on it in the first place?
ttrs motorsport? but thats were i brought the car from and is at least 90miles away! lol
sheffield is the closest for me :(
-
What's your location?
-
Your car still has the software on but all the values are zeroed.
-
You haven't "wiped" your map because you disconnected your battery it rest the settings to 1-0-0 instead of whatever you had previously.
All you need is an SPS to change the settings however it would help if you knew what they were before you start guessing.
-
9-5-9 will work :driver:
-
I'm in the midlands with one.
Off topic but I turned the boost down and got more power Mat

were abouts in the midlands are you?
-
The sps boxes can be picked up for around 50-60 quid !
Then you have total control if it ever happens again.

Why did Revo produce software that loses it's settings when you remove the battery?
A nice way of making more money selling switches I suppose :signLOL:
-
That's shocking IMO
So if your cars in for anything mech wise first things first always disconnect battery
Find that the map zeros out a bit :(
-
Absolutey shocking isn't it :/
-
Is this just on a revo map ? Or does it affect all maps ?
It's just I'm sure I've read that nick from r-tech says his maps it won't be wiped if the battery is disconected
Is it just because revo has ajustable setting ?
Chris
yes its because there adjustable

R-Tech Fanboy alert :evilgrin:
-
I guess it's reasonable to expect someone to spend an extra £150 just to be able to remove the battery without any hassle? :stupid:
-
Bought my SPS direct from Revo for £50.
-
you can get them cheaper then £150 i belive, i like my revo setup especially the big turbo maps.. but do agree it is one of the annoying things with revo and should have an sps chucked in for the money
-
It is shocking because it's not exactly cheap in first place and if I knew this I would off bought one to start off with instead off now costing £100+ :/ does anybody have one closer then conventry?
-
I have one left from my old GTTDI day's
*Removed*
This is not a for sale thread.

Bump for anyone with an sps switch close by :drinking:

No.
In the time that I've had Revo on my car it has had....
2 cam followers replaced.
1 cam belt
1 PVC
1 throttle body
1 crank sensor
~4 services
4 sets of plugs
1 set of coil packs
... And has never once lost the settings.
-
But you never unplugged the battery for any of that...
-

Correct. You don't need to.

Correct. You don't need to.
So what's your point :confused:???
The op mentioned disconnecting the battery lol...
Yes he may be incorrect in saying that you always need to disconnect it for every job, but u knew what he meant.
