IMMOBILIZER EMULATOR FOR FOR MAZDA RX8

This emulator replaces the MAZDA RX8 immobiliser communication signal on the CAN bus to unlock all DENSO ECU variants used on RX8 vehicles.

This also applies to converting these engines for buggies, boats, or racing vehicles.

In order to use this emulator, the synchro data from the ECU must be written to the I2C 24C02 memory of the emulator.

No change is needed to the flash memory or eeprom of the ECU itself, which remains in its original state.

Four wires should be connected: CAN-H, CAN-L, GND (ground) and +12 V IGN ( terminal „15”) or +12 V after the ECU/ECM relay. Ensure the connection adheres to the vehicle’s repair schematics.

The colors of the corresponding wires are specified in the photo.

The location of the eeprom 24C02 memory is also specified in the photo.

Please remember the CAN terminator – terminator resistor, is in many cases indispensable especially when the ECU works standalone.

On emulator PCB we have 3 x LED GREEN, RED, YELLOW, thanks to them we can carry out diagnostics of the emulator connection, they clearly indicate the current status of the CAN bus connection and the status of matching to the ECU.

This ECU is one of the more frequent visitors to my lab table for the addition of our immobilizer emulator.

If you are an EU-based automotive electronics company, you can send us an engine control unit for assembling and testing the emulator for service – please contact us or to one of My distributors .
