It enables the automation of certain functions, such as automatic parking, distance detection, and overspeed warnings. Automotive programming, also known as automotive computer programming, is used to convert and store program chips. Below is more detailed information: 1. Introduction to ECU Modification: The simplest method of automotive modification involves converting and storing program chips. When replacing chips with different programming, you only need to open the ECU backplate, remove the original chip, and replace it with a new one. Since some older E-ROM chips can only be written once, each program modification requires burning the program into a blank chip using a burner to replace the original chip. In recent years, many new car ECUs use Flash-Rom (flash memory) chips that can be read and rewritten multiple times, allowing direct program loading without replacing blank chips. 2. Advantages: Regardless of the type of chip, both original manufacturers and chip modification designers incorporate protection measures to prevent decoding and copying. Therefore, during modification, chip modification dealers must first upload each vehicle's data to the chip modification company for authentication, including the vehicle identification number, ECU serial number, and year specifications. After the data is confirmed, the relevant program is downloaded to the dealer's computer, and the technician then uses a burner to write the data into a blank chip or updates the Flash-Rom chip program in the ECU via the original port used to connect to the manufacturer's diagnostic computer. This form of ECU modification does not provide any adjustment flexibility for car enthusiasts, but it is convenient and time-saving, making it highly suitable for stock vehicles with no or only minor engine modifications (including intake and exhaust systems).
