In Reply to: anyone knows how to open the ECU? need help posted by JT on April 01, 2001 at 23:54:12:

use a flat screw driver to flit those tap up. You will break most of those but it'll ok. Just keep all the screws :)
that box will open up like a book but there are some cable that keep you from openning it. Don't even try to take those cable(s) off.
Just find a way to stick a tiny screw driver (whatever but none metal) in there and pry the chip up
good luck.


Hi, I have a 1992 Bmw 325i, I have a AA chip, I know how to get to the ECU, its just getting it open. Do I need any tools special tools like allen wrench. They have like small metal tabs, look like you can use a allen wrench, how do I open the box and get to the chip. Anyone can give me instructions how to open and put in chip.

thank you
