Resolved Can a non EPROM ECU be converted to EPROM?

[project_tsi]

This I cant really seem to find a definitive answer to this. I dont know too much about electronics just that i know i need an EPROM Ecu to get DSMlink and i dont have it. I was just wondering if they can take a non eprom ecu and somehow insert a socket and eprom ecu. My guess is no and ill probly have to but an Eprom ecu but i figured Id ask first to make sure 100%. Thanks

Moderator edit: Yes, at least for the purposes of getting DSMLink. ECMTuning offers this as a service. See these links:

1G EPROM Conversion

2G EPROM Conversion

If you don't know much about electronics, the answer is no. It's far easier to buy an EPROM ECU than it is to pay someone to build/install a daughterboard to convert it to an EPROM. I don't even know if any companies are left that do it.

no -
a sisterboard was in the works at TMO but it never manifested.

Best thing is to check out ebay, they usually have a few 1g eprom ecu's listed. They usually go for around $150 - 200 for one in mint condition.
