Title: Gearbox Software Updates for international members
Post by: Zhing1 on 19 April 2010, 06:22:30
Hi. Can anyone help me get my Gearbox Software updated. I reside in the Philippines and from the threads I've been reading here, the SW Update seems worthwhile pursuing. Unfortunately, the GM dealerships here no longer support Opel/Vauxhall Cars in the Philippines. Can I just purchase a gearbox ECU at ebay and have someone program it there in the UK? Thanks and looking forward your your help.

I have not been able to program them outside of the car.

Thanks for your reply. I've noticed the ECU part nos for 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0 are the same. I can source an ECU on ebay and have it sent you for upgrading? Is this a feasible option?

No, as I have not yet been successful in programming gearbox ecus without the car being present

Thanks mate. It was worth a try. Though I'm still open to suggestions on how to get the upgrade. Let me know if something innovative comes to mind.

That had already crossed my mine, as the one in there is a V9 GS820 for 2.5 v6 ;)

I have another GS820 in the garage, but not sure if I can persuade the tech2 to convert it to a 2l map.

Would you need a volunteer 2.0 l car to fit it to while being programmed  :-/

Thanks guys for your feedback. At this rate I'm bound to get the software upgrade somehow. I hope someone volunteers to host host the upgrade. ::)

I managed to persuade it.  I now have 3 GS820 TCMs, one configed for 3.0l, one for 2.5l v6, and one for x20xev
