1) How much more power will I gain & how much lighter will my vehicle be on fuel?

Because no two cars are identical it is impossible to predict just how far from perfect the vehicle will be before fitting the Unichip. Some cars are closer than others and therefore the results will vary. On some cars you may get better fuel consumption but maybe not much more power. On others the increase in power might be good but the fuel consumption might remain the same. Some might get a lot of improvement in drivability. In most cases you should be able to improve all of the above. It all depends on how close to perfect the car's existing map is for that particular vehicle. We promise the customer that the car will be as light as possible on fuel when he drives calmly and it will make as much power as possible when he puts his foot flat on the accelerator. We also promise him that if within three months he feels that it is not worth having the Unichip we will remove it and refund him the full amount, including installation and mapping fee. We do not make any other promises. We strive to promise less but do more.

2) What will happen to my vehicle’s warrantee?

The Unichip has been installed in several thousand new vehicles as an option on new cars by various brands. Most manufacturers have used the Unichip technology on their factory racing cars or economy run vehicles. However, some manufacturers may not approve of such (or other) alterations to a new vehicle so the best will be to contact the dealership through which you bought your vehicle or the one that services it and get approval from them before doing so. If you so choose you can also opt for the U-connect option in which case you can add or remove the system whenever you want.

3) What is the U-connect Plug ‘n Play system?

(Click here to link to Products)

The only difference between the Unichip installation and the U-connect Plug 'n Play system is the wiring harness that enables this installation without cutting or interfering with the original wiring. You simply unplug the original ECU wiring and install this system between the male and female plugs. All the necessary original male and female plugs are included in the harness. The ultimate result is “once removed” no footprint or trace of the original installation at all. Unlike other systems there is no tampering with the vehicles’ ECU or wiring.

6) Why don’t you give a recommended retail price?

There are many reasons for this. Firstly the import and shipping costs vary wildly from country to country making it impossible to give one global price. Then there are many, many possible different configurations for different car types etc. Then lastly and most importantly, the Unichip is a tuning tool used by professional tuners. All tuners don’t have the exact same skill level and you can expect to pay somewhat more if the Unichip is installed and custom mapped for your vehicle by one of the top tuners in the business. The unichip is to a tuner what paint and brushes are to an artist. Even though two artists might use the same paint and brushes, you will not get the same picture from both. They will most probably also not cost the same amount of money. A unichip installed and custom mapped by a top tuner will most likely give you better results than one that is custom mapped by an in-experienced tuner.

7) How do I know if my Unichip is still under warrantee?

(Click here to find your nearest dealer)

Warrantee conditions differ from country to country so please check with the main distributor of your country for local warrantee terms. Each unichip has a unique serial number that indicates the date of manufacture so have this information available when contacting the main distributor for your country. You can contact them by clicking on the link at the top.

8) Can I buy the tuning interface and program for the Unichip?

(Click here to find your nearest dealer)

The Unichip is a professional system for professional tuners and not a DIY system. Whilst there are undoubtedly some private users with adequate experience, in order to qualify for a Unichip dealership you will need to be the owner of a proper tuning shop, own a proper dynamometer and gas analyzer. You will also have to attend a training course. These training courses will typically take between 1 and 3 days depending on the level to which they are presented. These terms may differ slightly from country to country so please check with the main distributor of your country for exact terms. You can contact them by clicking on the link at the top.
