The Unichip piggy back ECU is an extremely mappable device. The garage that rolling road tuned the car were experts tuning the Unichip. It was not easy to change the rev limit of the standard FIAT ECU using the piggy back unit without swapping a timing crystal. It was far easier to get another Superchip blown with rev limit removed and use the piggy back to set the rev limit. The mapping in the Superchip was used as a base for the mapping in the piggyback ECU.

No. PriorityStart! is designed to provide battery protection when the engine is NOT running (ignition switch in the off position). It will not disconnect the battery when the engine is running, even though the battery voltage level drops below the factory-set safe threshold. Circuits within this product recognize an "engine running" condition by sensing electrical "noise" (30 mill volts) created by fuel injectors, fuel pump, fan motors, etc., and will not disconnect the vehicle battery.

Try adding S12=0 and S2=128 to your modem initialization string (ATS12=0S2=128). This disables the escape sequence (normally - +++). I heard that this is a common problem with USR 56K's - they erroneously detect the escape sequence and go into a wrong mode.

A new battery comes in a discharged condition and must be charged before use (refer to the devices manual for charging instructions). Upon initial use (or after a prolonged storage period) the battery may require three to four charge/discharge cycles before achieving maximum capacity. When charging the battery for the first time the device may indicate that charging is complete after just 10 or 15 minutes. This is a normal phenomenon with rechargeable batteries.

This depends on the variety, some take full sun, others take full shade and some are anywhere in between. See the Gallery for more specific information.

For example, the car has to cope with poor fuel quality, dusty environments, poor services and at the same time provide reliability and economy. This has meant that the manufacturers have in essence detuned the engines to cater for all this.

It depends on the battery condition, if it’s a used battery, the Battery Brain will disconnect the load from the battery in a shorter time then in a new one.
