The Brains
hey there just fitting my interior back in after i soundproofed/rewired the car as it was a mess. Anyway fitted traction control for the track which includes launch control and full throttle shift and all kinds of good stuff. Took some pics.
Im have problems finding a Commander for it. i understand that with each of the models of Power Fc that Apexi released the provided a hand held interface module called the Commander.
I have a 1997 Type R Special Edition, My Power FC number is PFCFD3S5 010 - 0300 any ideas what commander i should have?
POWER FC NUMBER---------------------COMMANDER NUMBER
414-Z001 --------------------------------415-Z001
414-Z002 --------------------------------415-Z001
414-Z003 --------------------------------415-Z001
414-Z004 --------------------------------415-Z002
414-Z005 --------------------------------????????? (doesnt say)
414-Z006 --------------------------------415-X001
And has anyone used these before -

From this info that I found:
The first PFC's were:
1. 414-Z001 - 1995-1998
2. 414-Z002 - 1991-1995
3. 414-Z003 - 1998-2002
Later Apexi upgraded the software version and made the chip in the ECU soldered/non-removable, unlike those above where the chip was a pin type and could be removed.
Apexi re-released the changed PFc's with different serial and part numbers:
4. 414-Z004 - 1991-1995
5. 414-Z005 - 1995-1998
6. 414-Z006 - 1998-2002
POWER FC NUMBER------------------------COMMANDER NUMBER
414-Z001 --------------------------------415-Z001
414-Z002 --------------------------------415-Z001
414-Z003 --------------------------------415-Z001
414-Z004 --------------------------------415-Z002
414-Z005 --------------------------------????????? (doesn't say)
414-Z006 --------------------------------415-X001
The above numbers are from the Apexi website, but.... from discussions with tuners and owner it is quite clear that some commanders will fit some other Power FC's and that the list above is not a definitive 'this will ONLY work with this'.
COMMANDER--------------WHAT POWER FC ECU IT WILL ACTUALLY FIT
415-Z001--------------------------414-Z001/414-Z002/414-Z003
415-Z002--------------------------414-Z006/414-Z005/414-Z004
415-X001--------------------------414-Z006/414-Z005/414-Z004
The 415-X001 is supposed to be a universal model that can be used with all newer P-FCs for most other cars Toyotas, Nissans, Mazda Etc. If you order a 415-X001 for an RX-7 it will come with the manual for an RX-7. So a 415-X001 for a MR2 should work with your newer model P-FC for an FD, but you wont get the car specific manual.
You will know if the commander and Power Fc ECU are NOT compatible as when you plug the together and switch the car on, the commander screen will light up, display the APEXI logo, and that will be it the logo will stay there and the menu will not be displayed (as usually would).
