[Euro] Hondata Update

Might do if I can be bothered wasting 4hrs on Saturday washing, polishing, and waxing my car. Poor thing needs a wax, but it's just such hard work!

I have an auto Euro....is that worthy to be a lab rat??

After June or so I will have to another runabout car, so I am definately interested.

Stop in at your nearest Supercheap and pick up a telescopic inspection mirror. I grabbed one on the way home for $9.99.

Use a torch to illuminate the ECU and work the mirror up between the side of the ECU (which faces the front of the car) and the centre tunnel so you can read the numbers off (they'll be backwards obviously) and have a helper write the numbers down for you as you read them out.

Simple painless and done in less than 5mins

Oh and I believe the number you'll be looking for is above the barcode. My May 2004 build ECU number is: 37820-RBB-Ö01 (Ö=O for Oz

)

Just noted the post from Hondata on acura-tsx.com announcing their success at reflashing the Aussie ECU where the ECU code is RBB-Q01, not "RBB-Õ01" which is what I interpreted it to be using this lazy persons method of finding out the ECU number.

I blame it on trying to focus on small font text, reflected and inverted on a piddly little reflecting surface with my eye's at all sorts of strained angles

lol

James is going to think me a total jackass with all my correcting emails

Have been too lazy to check, but can anyone confirm if the code is the same for 05 built models?

**baboo** · 02-06-2005 12:31 PM

05 built models might have different code.

This is going to be great....

who said EURO can't fly....

In the US, I read that Hondata still hasn't come out with the 05' ECU version of the upgrade.

Ah - that answers my question. Well Im not too keen to be the 05 ECU guinea pig, so I'll just sit tight and wait. I am keen however, to pay for a fully tested official release ..
