For which car and year it is made for??

The connectors due not fit USA/CAN FDs.

Something I found: That number is for the commander not the PFC. See below.
************************************************** *******
Apexi release the Power FC ECU in three different flavours:

1. 414-Z001 - this fitted the 1995-1998 fd's.
2. 414-Z002 - this fitted the 1991-1995 fd's.
3. 414-Z003 - this fitted the 1998 on fd's.

After a short while Apexi then 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 Power Fc's serving the same purposes but with different serial and part numbers:

4. 414-Z004 - this fitted the 1991-1995 fd's.
5. 414-Z005 - this fitted the 1995-1998 fd's.
6. 414-Z006 - this fitted the 1998 on fd's.

Nowadays you will find that all new power fc's sold new are one of the three later models. The most common over here is the 414-Z004 this is simply due to the fact that there are more 1991-1995 cars out there.

COMMANDER (this is generally where people get confused)

With each of the models of Power Fc that Apexi released the provided a hand held interface module called the Commander. With the commander you could read/monitor all the parameters that were accesable through the Apexi Power FC ECU. The commander also gives the ability to Write SOME commands to the ECU (for full mapping capabilities a specific software package is required, this is called DATALOGIT).

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

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-Z004
415-X001--------------------------414-Z006/414-Z005/414-Z004

OK, you will know if the commander and Power Fc ECU are NOT compatable 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).

Open it up and look inside if you must.

I looked inside today and I found this number :

FC17-A 059BK-L5000-01

its for the 96+ models equiped with 16bit ecu it wont fit 92-95
Fd3S4 is for the 92-95
fd3s5 is for the 96-98
fd3s6 is for the 99-2002 but s5-s6 work on both models. base map is different though

Thank you guys for the information

who can verify that the commander info is accurate?

Can any one help with figuring out what commander i need
 

Can any one help with figuring out what commander i need

my model serial number is: PFC FD3S5 - 010-0300

Any ideas from the list above what numbers am i surpost to me looking at?

i think they make an adapter to use the 96+ ecu with the 93-95 cars. I do not know if there are any drawbacks to this, but i have seen it.
