I am planning on getting DSMLink on my 95 Talon. My question is, if my ECU has a factory EPROM is it just a matter of popping out the old chip and popping in the new one or is it actually soldered onto the board?

My second question is, yes I have searched for this, where is the ECU located, under the radio or behind the glove box?

Thanks for the help :talon:

The ECU is located under the radio, accessed by the panels on either side of the center console. The EPROM chip is soldered to the board, I recommend sending it to Tom and letting him socket it, I had mine done locally by someone who "knew" what they were doing and I had to get a new ECU.

Yep, one static surge (you know, static from rubbing your feet on the ground) and you can make the entire ecu a paper weight. It takes some experience to get those chips in right.......


I'd say ship it to tom too
