SupraTT2004 Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Found out over the weekend that I have got a HKS F-CON V in my car. Been on the phone to abbey and they told me that no one in the UK can map it. great..... anyone have any ideas, except sell it to someone Jap.

Gamer Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Alex, I belive the problem is not the fact that Abbey do not want to tune it, I think the problem is that it might be either locked or because it is a Japanese installed unit. I am not totally certain but I think the UK tuners have issues tuning the older japanese installed FCON units... Mind you it would not surprise me that they could infact do something with it but because of the added hassle would rather say no and try to sell the customer a brand new unit. My friend just had the same issue come up and Abbey told him the same thing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Yeah abbey said because its a old unit and no one has the software to map it.?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SupraTT2004 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 Hi terry, what you mean they aren't great units? Do you think I am better off trying to sell it and get something different. Just got off the phone from TDI. well... they got the software but he said he doesnt no if it works still??? exactly, Also he didnt sound very confident. in 2 minds at the moment. dont no what to do. really edit: also just rung HKS europe, they dont do mapping. ring TDI. lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry S Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Like I say I have never heard of one tuned in the UK working well. Leon had one which was ditched very quickly... The Pro is a whole diffent ball game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Walker Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Do you think I am better off trying to sell it and get something different. Hiya Rob, You'll be lucky if you can sell it because of the reasons stated, because no-one can do it, unless you can find a and just wing it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraTT2004 Posted September 5, 2005 Author Share Posted September 5, 2005 lol. I'll try anyways. I same sure someone will buy it, even if its not in this country. seen a few for sale in the USA. oh well. I'll just have to buy the HKS F-CON V pro instead.

LeeT Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 ive seen one sell on ebay last week. not sure how much it went for though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 F-con V Pro's available for good prices here Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 ive seen one sell on ebay last week. not sure how much it went for though Think that was more due to the fact it had a fields harness attached. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 Think that was more due to the fact it had a fields harness attached. That sounds like the standard F-con harness, it looks the same as fields harness but with a few extra wires. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted September 5, 2005 Share Posted September 5, 2005 You learn something everyday, but am i correct that you could chop out the f con, rejoin any wires that need to be and use it as a fields harness? This could be a cheap source of harneses in the UK. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This could be a cheap source of harneses in the UK. Probably, but it is certainly not a cheap alternative, as they cost more than the field harness.
