Why is a user, not even a paid member, allowed to post several for sale threads for their business and other people including paid members not allowed to mention things they sell on a very limited basis?
Hey Shawn(refresh951) are you going to ban me for mentioning VEMs systems in one post while you do nothing about a direct and blatant and sales thread? That would be the pinnacle of hypocrisy but it would not surprise me.
Is there any update on a DME for the 968? I'm very intrigued with the possibility of having OBD support and real time engine tuning should that ever be a possibility.
I'm kinda with sf1 on this one..just one for the early 944's would be a great thing..as I really don't want to open my functioning one up to re-solder the joints if they don't need it. Rather keep all the dark things inside lest I open it up and let Pandora out again.
Ok sorry for my ignorance. Besides a new DME are there tuning options? Also assuming they will make more. I have to send in my stock DME first? Thanks in advance.
Unless he's changing something, he's just building the DME "bed" so to say. The board that holds the chips. In affect it's just a I/O device to get the inputs from the sensors to the chips, then return the needed commands. His is better and faster, but it's still just a glorified holder for your existing chips. That's were the programs are. The DME has some built in functions, but those won't be changed. A loose analogy would be that the DME is the motherboard, like in your computer. While I'm sure he could add stuff, the chips wouldn't know what to do with it.
Early 24 pin boards had some maps hard wired into the DME, then the rest was on the chips. 28 pin moved that to the chip. He'll rebuild what you send him. He only keeps a couple of things from your stock DME. I'm guessing on the 24 pin DMEs he burns the on board programs onto new chips?
Anyway, from what I understand his DMEs are also faster. In effect they get the input into the chips faster, and get the commands out faster, so the maps get updated quicker. I'm not sure how he does this.
However, aside from updated components and increased speed there are no added features. Programming is a function of your chips, not the DME. While I'm sure he could do that, in effect it would become a virtual stand alone. That's not what he's doing here. He's just offering an updated stock DME.
It would be cool to have ODBII, but I don't even know how you would implement that with stock type chips. And most if not all the protocols are owned by existing car companies. Not sure of the legal issues there. I wouldn't expect to see anything like that.
I'm very interested to see what he's got up his sleeve with these. I hope he'll post up soon.

Perfect! Thanks. So could I buy one of these and insert aftermarket chips and keep my stock DME untouched?
I just wanted to announce the new "SPORT" DME that will replace the previous 944 and 944 Turbo DMEs I offer. This new DME now offers the ability to switch between a non-turbo and turbo DME plus you can select between 24pin or 28pin chips. The "Center-Point" lid mount is now a standard feature, and allows access to swap performance chips in seconds with only a screw driver. No more bending tabs just for them to break off when opening the DME.
