Send the ECU

Sending your ECU the right way

How your ECU reaches us undamaged and gets back to you quickly.

01

Before you send it

  1. Enquire firstVia the enquiry form: vehicle, ECU and reason – easiest with a photo of the label on the ECU. You receive a reference number – write it on the note you put in the parcel.
  2. Have it removedAny workshop can remove the ECU. If you do not have one, we can, on request, name a partner workshop in Germany that removes and refits the ECU.

How will my ECU be read?

You do not need to know. We can tell from your details and let you know before you send anything.

  • On the bench, via the connector: €50. The housing stays closed.
  • With the housing opened: from €150. Some ECUs can only be read this way. We tell you the exact price in advance.
  • If it cannot be read: €30 for the attempt. The remaining option is then log analysis with the software number.

For this we need the vehicle and, from the label on the ECU: manufacturer, type, hardware and software number – or a photo of the label, which you upload with your enquiry. Insured return shipping is added.

02

Packing

  • Put the ECU in an antistatic bag.
  • Pack it in a sturdy box with padding all round, about 5 cm on every side.
  • Do not change anything on the housing or the connectors, and do not remove any labels.
  • Only send brackets and cables if we ask you to.

What to include

  • A note with the reference number, your name, your email address and the address for the return shipment.
  • If the vehicle is not yours: a short written consent from the owner.

Address and shipping

Tuning-Check · Maik Schneider
Berliner Straße 54
15234 Frankfurt (Oder) OT Booßen
Germany

Please send it insured and with tracking. When sending with DHL in Germany: hand it in at a branch or a parcel shop, not at a Packstation – otherwise the transport insurance does not apply. If you are sending from a country outside the EU, please ask us first.

Return

We only read; we do not change anything on the ECU. Afterwards we send it back – in every case insured and with tracking. The cost of return shipping is in the price list; outside Europe on request. If your ECU can only be read with the housing opened (boot), we give you the exact price after your enquiry. Not every ECU can be read. On some control units, tuning can prevent the ECU software from being read again later; for some ECUs there is no way to read them. If the read-out does not succeed, we charge €30 for the attempt and send the ECU back. Prices

Enquiry

Enquire first
