Hi. Here's a question that's been bugging me. If I purchase the Evolve Switch version of the re-map for my 530d for £699 I get the box to keep to switch between the uprated map and the cars standard map.

What I would like to know is... What's to stop me from then using this switch and software etc from downloading the map into another identical car?? I mean I could potentially charge fellow owners of the same model to re-map their cars for them!!??

Or, I could borrow or rent someone elses 'switch' to re-map my own car for far less £££

Anyone got one they want to let me borrow in the UK?? Lol

You cannot use the switch box to remap more than 1 car. The box knows if you have uploaded the new ECU map and will not let you do it again. The only way to remap another car is to first re-install the original map in the first car.

BTW, I am selling an Eveolve Switch box with BMW E60 530d remap as I've just sold the car (with the original map). The Evolve map made a big difference, never had it dyno'ed but Iram's (Evolve main man) claims seem pretty accurate. If you (or anyone else) are interested PM me.

Hi Russ. Tried to PM you but as a low post count, I cannot get hold of you using the PM system.

I would be interested though definitely.

Can you e-mail me on p14kle@blueyonder.co.uk with a price, and any info you could tell me about how to use this on my car.
(its a pre LCi 2006 530d M-sport 232bhp model) by the way.

Many Thanks

James
