BMW 530D E49 | Plug and Play ECU Tuning Kit (Standard Edition)

Yes. Our kits are designed to be hassle free & simple to install. Locate your ECU, unplug it's existing wiring harness, plug in the Unichip - job done! If you're unsure about the process, our workshop is open Monday - Friday | 9AM - 5PM GMT. Give us a call!

If you're purchasing a "Premium" or "Ultimate" Kit, then yes, you'll need to purchase a Map Switch in order to access our pre-programmed maps. If you're purchasing a "Standard" Kit, you will not need a map switch, as they're programmed to hold just one tuning file. Refer to the product listing's title if you're unsure. NOTE: Unichip Europe Kits with a drop-down menu below the "Buy Now" button will NOT need to purchase an additional map switch. The Premium editions now include a map switch incorporated into the price for these particular items.

If you're serious about tuning your vehicle and have shopped about, you'll have definitely noticed the wild west that is the chip tuning industry. The Unichip Module is a multi-processor ECU tuning tool, it is not a chip tuning product. The sheer amount of engine parameters we're able to manipulate means that every single file is meticulously tuned in our in-house rolling road. Unlike some our competitors, our map files are not just increments of the same map, giving you slightly more power every time. Every map is detailed and lives up to each of their individual namesakes. This can take days, or even weeks to perfect these tunes. Couple that with industry-leading product materials used across the range, an anti - theft immobilizer map as standard to all premium / ultimate products and a spectacular after-sales service, and the Unichip Products truly live up to their value. More information can be found on our "self fit" page, located on the menu bar.

Chip tuning boxes share only a few similarities with the Unichip Module. They'll typically alter just injection timing or injection pressure. The Unichip gives a reputable tuner a myriad of different parameters to manipulate, creating a far superior tune, a much better spirited drive, all while ensure there's 0 risk to your engine's mechanical components. A remap will physically alter / overwrite your existing ECU file. Done correctly, and you'll have access to one map with more power. Done incorrectly, and you risk damaging your engine's mechanical components. These changes are semi-permanent; if your remap is bad, you'll have to take your car back to the manufacturer to gain access back to the existing file, for a hefty price.

Yes. Unichip Europe pride themselves in developing remarkable tunes at no cost to your engine's integrity OR mechanical components.

Yes. Every single Unichip plug and play kit has been tuned on the exact make / model that you're purchasing, on our in-house rolling road by our expert tuners.

Yes. Simply unplug and remove the kit from your engine bay / ECU location, plug in your vehicle's stock ECU wiring loom, and it's like we were never there.

As a rule of thumb, the majority of our kits take 30 - 45 minutes to install. Most vehicle ECU's are relatively easy to locate. However, some are located underneath / behind the glovebox. If this is the case, we'll provide instructions on how to easily remove the trim with generic tools.
