Just had Chris get rid of the TPMS for my drag setup. Works great and cheaper then buying and extra set up TPMS sensors. No more AH issues!

Excellent!!!

I look forward to hearing how it works out over a period of time.

Chris is about the only guy I know of that can do any software manipulation of GM computer modules.

I've been tossing around having him do some other work, but I'd need to get the car up to him for the stuff I want done. If I find myself way up north I might have to get in contact with him.

I don't know how many owners have had him do the BCM/TPMS work, and I have no dog in this furball, but here's a link to a thread where a forum member isn't so happy with the results:

FYI, tire pressure sensors and a TPMS are federally mandated systems. All 4-wheeled vehicles less than 10,000 lbs manufactured since Sept 2007 (start of the 2008 model year) MUST have them!!!

They are like airbags and seat belts - they are required items on a street driven car.

The Vette had them long before they were required by the gubmint. If you're driving on runflat tires you MUST have sensors so you can tell if you lose pressure while driving down the highway - the stiff sidewalls just don't give any handling feedback while you're driving straight. However, if you didn't know you lost pressure and take the off-ramp in your usual spirited manner, you may end in the guard rail when a sideload builds up in the turn and you lose control.

So, just be aware of what you're doing to your car regarding federal requirements.

Thanks for the kind words guys! I don't have the exact numbers in front of me but there are roughly 20 of you out there running this custom programming and so far only one complaint.

To that end the complaint in the link above can be quite simply attributed to not following directions and not reading email auto replies that state we are closed (at the time) because my wife just had our first child. Couple that with lets just say less than pleasant emails and then coming on here and posting something like that I highly doubt anyone would reply at that point and I learned in my younger days the hard way just to let it go

At any rate thanks for the review and I love doing these for you guys and gals!

 

Ya it works great and neither of my sets of wheels have have runflats. If someone wanted to go back to stock it would be as simple as a Tech 2.

 

Chris has done numerous projects for me and my clients without any regrets. He always has a few tricks up his sleeve and helps support my goofy requests to boot.

Also on a side note, How did we ever live with out all this BS forced babysitting. I personally think its over done and outa hand on so many levels. Hell, we cant even send out kids to ride a bike without a complete armour system without being accused of being a bad parent..HOW DID WE EVER SURVIVE AS KIDS!

 

GTPprix,

What else can you adjust in the EBCM? The "sensitivity" of the traction control or AH? I'm curious as to the capability of your product(s).

 

I probably could but not sure I'd want to due to liability concerns, this thread is actually about the BCM though just a heads up

 

Gotcha, sorry to digress.

 

No worries

 

Chris, I think you put launch control on your Z06.

Have you put LC and PTM on any 2009 ZR1 yet?

TIA,

Bob

 

Yup I did the first (and I think only?) retrofit I'm sure I could if I had a 2009 ZR1 to play with for a couple of days!!!

 

Hmmmm....

I may have to bring you the car one of these days. Next time we go up to visit my wife's sister in Cleveland I may have to dump her off and continue on up to let you do your magic!!

It's not gonna happen this winter - maybe next spring.

Bob

 

We still need to do this, just sayin
