Diesel, Petrol Gems and Thor are all differentAm i right in thinking a sync mate for a diesel is no good for a petrol i ask because i have sync mate but is for diesel. also don't know how far away you are.
i know when i purchased mine i'm sure had to get the right one either diesel or petrol? but may be wrong.
So how do you do it then? (without going into specifics...)There's no diagnostics on that will get you going.
Your vehicle don't need a sync-mate. It's not a sync problem.
Your vehicle is in a stage 2 security lockout. In simple terms, your becm has closed down, so to speak. No diagnostics on this planet will communicate with the becm on the vehicle.
You're only in aldershot, remove the becm & bring it to me in Brighton, or send it by courier, & then I'll can sort it out for you.
Faultmate direct access module allows the BECM to be accessed regardless of the lockout state.So how do you do it then? (without going into specifics...)
Rick the Pick is a BeCM genius.....its what he does for a living....
I would have no question but to heed his advice.....
Can be done with a full fat Diagnostic device to unalarm the BeCM...
So my answer above was indeed correct......but was shot down as being wrong!!Faultmate direct access module allows the BECM to be accessed regardless of the lockout state.
I think Rick is a little OTT sometimes I guess he's just guarding his positionSo my answer above was indeed correct......but was shot down as being wrong!!
I appreciate he is to protect his business as anyone would and I have no problem with that....the guy is a genius and has got many a member out of the sh!te, just thought the reply was a little harsh considering my answer was correct, and yet it was made to seem like I know Jack (which in certain circumstances is perfectly true!!)I think Rick is a little OTT sometimes I guess he's just guarding his position
ExactlyYou're correct. The direct access can access the becm, but not on the vehicle.
We have to strip the becm down & access the chips directly, Hence, this cannot be performed on the vehicle, or at the roadside for that matter, although some people try, including me in the past, but the risks involved just aren't worth the risk of the becm failing completely.
I've had this argument many times in the past, where people have managed to aquire the direct access software which allows them to access an alarmed becm & then they advertise as becm's unlockers & some even go as far as saying they can repair, when in fact, they can't no matter what they tell you, & a few chaps on this forum has experianced exactly this.
There's a few chaps who advertise on line as becm specialist's when in fact, these chaps used to come to my workshop, watch & ask a few questions, then before i know it, they're advertising themselves. I find it hilarious, until they come unstuck & receive demands for refunds, then they disappear.
As for parts, we've spent thousands over the years aquiring components. We have them all & now you can't buy these anymore. Our solder stations cost more than their vehicles. Our guarentees allow a scope that if we F**k up, we will supply a fully rebuit becm FOC, & that doesn't stop at the Becm's, we repair engine management ECU's also.
I've got no problem in protecting our business, no one can meet our standards & experiance, & there's not one other than can say they are indeed, Main Dealer recommended.
We give advice to anyone that asks, & if I haven't had to time to peruse the forums anyone is more than welcome to PM me if they need advice or help
