Jwhalen07 Posted January 30, 2017 Report Share Posted January 30, 2017 With the insurgance of evo x builds we have had at the shop and across America, offering a pnp option for these cars would be a huge success. We have 2 cars we are building ready to purchase a standalone. Plug and play options are not easy to get your hands on, motec needs an ecu to steal the connector off of. Im sure its an involved task that may already be in the works, but maybe letting us know where your plans are with the platform would be awesome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 You are right, a plug-in ECU for the EVO X would be a worthwhile product. This is something that is on our requests list, but not something we have started working on.Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jwhalen07 Posted January 31, 2017 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Anything I can do to help, please let me know! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Posted January 31, 2017 Report Share Posted January 31, 2017 Thanks for the offer to help. The main problem is that there are so many opportunities for products to build. The more people who show interest in a potential product the more likely we are to prioritise it. Scott Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Damn Any reasoning why? i know you guys would have a great market as there is not much for ECU Choices for the Evo X Platforms. its either Motec or Syvecs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted October 7, 2019 Report Share Posted October 7, 2019 Just too many other projects on the go. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piotr Posted April 24, 2020 Report Share Posted April 24, 2020 I'm interested as well. Better late than never Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bilal Posted March 7, 2021 Report Share Posted March 7, 2021 Please give us a product the wait has been long. My customers have been asking for link pnp solution for their evo x's for over 3 years now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Electredge Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 If anyone has a source for the ECU Header Connector I might could help with a solution Let me know Jon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted March 8, 2021 Report Share Posted March 8, 2021 Yeah, that is the main hurdle at the moment, the connector is moulded into the one piece case on the oem ecu and not available to the aftermarket. So the only 2 options at present are either salvaging a connector and case from the original ecu and try to desolder 120 odd pins off a pcb or use an adapter loom type setup which are also not a great solution - there is a rather pricey CNC machined Delrin housing or rough looking 3d printed ones but they all use individual terminals that all need to be crimped to wires and bonded into the housing by hand and then potted afterwards. Neither look really nice when installed or are really suitable for production at a realistic price point. But it is still on our plans to investigate further when we have some of the current projects thinned out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallthecat Posted December 17, 2022 Report Share Posted December 17, 2022 +1 I'd definitely consider getting a link for my X if it were available, the reflash softwares UI and the time involved reflashing is a pain. Link has a much better ui, user friendly and mostly easy to understand. Would such a product be able to retain all of the factory ecu's features?

Greg1987 Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Any news about this? Or still no Link ecu for evo x? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted September 19 Report Share Posted September 19 Work has finally started on it, still quite a while off though. I've done some initial reverse engineering work with a borrowed car and didnt find any further major hurdles besides those already mentioned. Some of the CAN is quite complicated and will take some significant testing to fully understand. Prototype hardware design has been started and we will soon be ready to buy our own car to do the rest of the development work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
