Arjan Posted Wednesday at 07:47 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 07:47 AM I seem to remember reading about a company / companies who make a "stand alone" ECU for the Td5 in a Discovety II. A friend is preparing for a long trip and would like to do away with the comms needed between the Immobilizer, BCU and EMS to keep the vehicle going. Anybody knows who they are ?

simonr Posted Wednesday at 01:09 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:09 PM I wonder if it might be as simple as just using a Defender ECU? Since the Defender doesn't have a BCU. One or two of the 'tuning' companies are offering to bypass the immobiliser. Without these, it is pretty much stand-alone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landroversforever Posted Wednesday at 01:32 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:32 PM That was my understanding - they're either defender ECUs or Discovery ones which have been modified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arjan Posted Wednesday at 04:55 PM Author Share Posted Wednesday at 04:55 PM Thanks. Looking further into it. Thinking about a "analogue" DII.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted Thursday at 08:37 AM Share Posted Thursday at 08:37 AM The Defender TD5 does have an alarm module that incorporates an immobiliser, I don't think they can be run stand alone. I posted a link some time ago to a company that offers a bypass for several Land Rover vehicles/ engines: No personal experience though.

landroversforever Posted Thursday at 08:39 AM Share Posted Thursday at 08:39 AM They can be programmed to not need the 10AS to start. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverik Posted Thursday at 09:14 AM Share Posted Thursday at 09:14 AM Have a look at this site - I was reading about them the other day, cant remember how I got onto it. Td5 Stand Alone Engine Harness (pace4x4.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Arjan Posted Thursday at 04:08 PM Author Share Posted Thursday at 04:08 PM "They can be programmed to not need the 10AS to start." I'd be very interested to learn how this is done ! Have both Nanocomm and a Hawkeye Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Escape Posted 20 hours ago Share Posted 20 hours ago My understanding is this cannot be done with the typical user diagnostics like Nanocom or Hawkeye, but only with proper reprogramming equipment. But glad to be proven wrong. 🙂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
