Standalone RDX ECU now available

It seems that a few of you were interested, so here goes. This consists of a new Acura RDX ECU and Hondata reflash.

The standalone RDX ECU is simply plug and play. Plug in and drive. Total down time about 10 minutes and likely the fastest performance upgrade you will install.

All performance specifications are the same as the reflash only. Available immediately.

The US price is $1150 - as listed in the updated page I linked you to. Obviously shipping and customs duty to overseas will increase the price at least 10-20% The good news is that the US dollar is low, so you will be getting a great deal.

You just remove your stock ECU, put it away and plug in the Hondata ECU and drive. When and if you sell the car, you simply put the stock ECU back in and sell the Hondata ECU.

Thank again Doug. I liked Your note of a cheap dollar for it's really now 10% to 15% cheaper for us in Ukraine (hope not for long!!)

The page is really updated now, but the immobilizer question still persist

Neither a new or used ECU will function with your car until the immobilizer system has been programmed to match your keys. This is something only an Acura dealer can do. A new ECU will also require a VIN number to be programmed into it. Again this is a job for your Acura dealer.

The Hondata RDX ECU has a preprogrammed VIN. Its immobilizer has been set up to work with any vehicle without dealer programming.

I have updated our web page to make this clearer.
