Both of them are amazing 👏 my wife doesn't know anything about cars but after watching your videos she has taken a lot notices of what you have done and thinks your both amazing 😊😊.
This channel is like my best starter to my favorite main couse. While waiting for Mat to upload on the main channel, i can calm myself here. All the love and support Mat❤
The restraint module has been combined with what use to be a body control module. So, besides the gyros being in it and providing the data to the traction control / braking module, it also controls the instrument cluster, lighting, door locks and many more items. I worked on North American car restraint modules the last 30 years, but European are very much the same. By the way, the gyros are semi-conductor fingers that move and sense vehicle motion. The airbag controller is also using the data besides the traction control.
Fantastic job! Always great to see solutions to problems and what makes it extra special is you show that we dont always get things right first time! Love the channel - it has helped me get some confidence to deal with a few issues with my own car.
I love the hands on description and the way you interact with your friends. There is so much positive energy all around you and you are making me smile and admire😮
Hi Mat, as your on old projects any chance of an update on the BMW E24 635 would love some news on this as I was really interested when you brought the car to your great channel Cheers mate, love all of your content 👍
Look at the plus side, it’s a learning curve and now you know for next time 😅 either way loving the content, on both channels! Keep up the great work Mat!
Hi, this may have been already posted, but I'm sure that old used module could of had the VIN changed using either Abrites kit or done on the bench via the EPROM rewrite. I've saved loads of BMW cars from scrap yards by doing same on the abs pump and just rewritten the new vin and bingo.
Hi Steve. I ve got the SDD and the other one that is like IDS. But I ve not actually coded that perticuly ECU, but done others. But the Arbrites kit is very powerful and is like a pandora box. It has so many add ons its amazing and can be done via the DLC or on the bench with the chip off the board and rewrite the data or clone the data on to a used unit. I tried doing a screenshot but wont let me. So I've managed to copy the text off of the site for you guys to read if interested. So in theory his used ECU could of been cloned, or the original unit might of been able to had the crash data wiped off, or reset to a virgin unut, or as I ve done on many cars just change the VIN and it codes in like a new unit. Hope my waffle has been of help ... Cheers guys. The procedure is simple: disconnect the old ECU and connect the replacement ECU. After that, it's no more than two minutes in the Abrites Diagnostics for Jaguar/Land Rover software. Under the Key Programming menu is the Module Initilisation functionality to be found. Once you executed, the Initialisation will adapt the new donor ECU and the car is ready. The car must have a minimum set of two programmed keys as a prerequisite so that the Initialisation can begin.
I think in all cars, the airbag module needs reset AND is coded to the vin AND most don't allow recoding by means of a blown fuse inside an IC, the software codes de module and blows the reprograming fuse, it's REALLY old tech :) Another thing, that module ONLY controls and active safety measures, BUT, the accessories ECU, inside the vehicle will disable everything related to safety (abs, tractioncontrol, airbags, etc) Because it has a safety fault and we are still lucky to be able to drive normally the car, I believe pussification will soon disallow that too. I fI known you installed a second hand module, I would already told you to buy a new module :) The BMW may well behave the same way, some ECU reset the code if no safety faults are present, don't know if BMW does that, but mercedes does and also italians and french, no faults even after crash, good to go.
So happy to find ur channel love from Florida bro ur vibration and passion brings me real joy I get down often and genuinely looking forward to you posting lol actually 2 days in a row typed in ur name to see if u posted yet 😂hood shit in the merci
I can't believe how in tune with your viewers you are I was litterally sat there thinking how much to PPF my car and hey presto your on it amazing content!!
Love the content! Be really careful swapping modules from one car to another as certain modules can corrupt the existing modules and could end up with incorrect VINs in different modules. Seen it a few times!
I drive a old Volvo v50 07 but swapping module doesn't work for Volvo's. I sended my old airbag sensor module to a repair center after the airbag light was ON. They repaired it for like €163, i saved a lot of money Volvo dealer charge €600 only for a new empty airbag sensor module😢
@@Acquiesce77 ooh lol, from all the comments i choose someone who worked +15years ago for Volvo when the car i drive came out👊🏾😁 i drive a D5 GEARTRONIC with 285000km😅 and much options: keyless, bliss, navi and most ridiculous a compass in the rear mirror🤣🤣🤣 the guy from the repair center sad that most of time they can repair the old module, only thing is you have to go to a garage to reset te airbag light(any garage can reset it Not only Volvo dealer)
Gday Mat, I remember you mentioned that the steering wheel turned about 1.5 turns from centre to either side and when turning right something in the column was rubbing/grabbing. Did that turn out to be anything? Top effort as usual! Cheers 🍻👍👍
so glad for this channel, definitely more content on the other cars mat maybe do a track day with the gallardo like you did with the porsche or drag races 🎉🎉
Had the same issues on my Cayenne Turbo S. Turned out to be a cracked body acceleration sensor mounted behind the front right wheel arch lining. Had to wait for one to be made and shipped from Stuttgart.
Hi Mat, just watched the video about the RR and excellent work as normal, cannot wait for the Lamborghini to kick up again!!…cheers mate, you and the team keep up the excellent work…👏👏👏👏
My friend's Accord did a similar thing where it turned on all the lights for the cruise, ABS, sensing, and would barely drive and felt like a slipping transmission. I scanned it for him and it was a shaft speed sensor B for the transmission. $40 later with a few miles to re-calibrate and it was all back to normal.
The Rangey is Always a day to day favourite. You can have a bunch of supercars but strangely one always picks up the keys for the Landy when just doing day to day tasks. Bless it
you keep me entertained even through these tough times of my life,I love your videos man ❤ by any chance can you please do a "travelling 1000 miles in the Range Rover Vogue." video😊
Yeah, any time I rebuild a crashed car that had it's airbags deployed I clear the flash rom (EEP), and reset the crash data. I try to keep all of the original parts because now a days manufactures are marrying the parts to the car (like the radio).
I was just watching the video and caught a look at the hexagon shaped llighting in the garage. I love the light were did you get them? I need them for the garage/office in my RV.
This guy is amazing. I enjoy watching your videos, a lot... When you decide to get rid of that range rover, please use my house as the junkyard. Kkkk I love it...
I had an airbag light on on my old E36 328is years ago, apparently caused by the seat belt mechanism being changed. Took it to BMW and they just cleared all ECU error codes and it was gone, they did say it could come back, but never did while I owned it. Can't believe the airbags actually have their own ECU these days, things are getting way overcomplicated lol
Mat, When is the next video going to comeout on your main channel? Also I have a great feeling you 911 gt3 is not in tavarish's unit. I think you have imported it to the UK.
Mat you the positive dude - bro on youtube ... so how can we be so positive when its been over 2 weeks now 🤣🤣.. we need a raw unedited something or just u dancing like we witnesses he one of your earlier videos when Hannah said you had a bit od booze / drink .. class dance moves ... if my chance you read this tonight / back in uk .. could you send positiver vibe as I have a lot of dosh in ASOS its not looking good as I lost a stack of wonder - but on a positive note I took out a large long position today / got all my shares still ... unfortunately most if not all are down around 65% now even more now as the dropped today as they are updating the LSE via an official RNS re trading at 7am 🤐. hope its ok as the shares are down over 91% from all time high lol ... maybe you could send some possible positive energy ... cheers Bro as we will see tomorrow what happens .. its not just ASOS retailer online .. the whole of UK is fucked . with the state of everything . sob at least we have Armstrong to look forward to ... on that note when we getting another video ... if you busy , worn out or just taking time out thats cool / maybe you on holidays ? I don't have access to your or anyone insta account as I'm blocked bared still lol .. its all good as patience now needed re economy / Mat Armstrong production ... just hope you don't pack it all in anytime soon as your the best of the best .. if youtube were to give away special awards you would have your name stated all over it .. cool .. also I not even had a drink as just back from work and getting up at 6am ... cheers mat for all your videos to date on both channels as its hard 2 believe you amazing progress / hard work now paying off .. but thats just goes to show wats possible & your journey is far from over ...
Giving you a tip sell the range rover fast while the engine is still working ... lots of problems with them ...suspension busshing and arms arent strong enough so the arms bend over time ...and lots more...
LOL hey Mat that sort of thing is what BMW 1 Series owners call normal !!!.... my solution is to just disable any thing like that once it goes tits up !
This is another great example to fight for right to repair. More and more companies are starting to “code” as many parts as they can to the vin to force you to go to the dealer for repairs. No one is tearing apart Range Rover consoles to steal control modules. So why does it need to be coded to the vin?
You're pretty lucky those ecu's only cost 480 pounds. Had the DME on my e90 320si fail and those are special edition and ofc also vin locked. The new virgin ones from bmw go for 2k. Luckely I have another one sitting for spares with the same series dme. Took the CAS (immobilizer) and DME plus the key to a guy that did some witchcraft. Learned them in the car and it all worked flawlessly again. Set me back 100. So don't throw this one away hehe
mat smashing it once again ! *pretends to be shocked* 👑
Hello RUclips!
hello there
ok
What’s RUclips doing here????
Never seen that before
I like the way Mat and Hannah speak to each other without interrupting each other, and show good respect to each other’s quite considerable knowledge.
@Michael Curley weird comment
ikr u just want to hug them both.
Both of them are amazing 👏 my wife doesn't know anything about cars but after watching your videos she has taken a lot notices of what you have done and thinks your both amazing 😊😊.
My wife and I also watch these videos together, and we neither have a car nor
do we want one.
@Michael Curley u r weird
7 months only? Feels so much longer with all the banging content in the meantime! ❤
Matt is flat out delivering superb content with great quality consistency ❤
👍
i love the fact that he is one youtube who doesn't waste time in his content
This channel is like my best starter to my favorite main couse. While waiting for Mat to upload on the main channel, i can calm myself here.

That exhaust is a work of art, just needs a clean. I use the 10x harpic on my exhaust and it comes up like new

I vote - Definitely go with chassis mounted wing if your modifying the exhaust tailpipes!!! Great idea

Glad you got it sorted. Years ago I saw a nicely modded Rover that had the badging changed from RANGE ROVER to GAME OVER.Thought that was pretty cool.
Matt, you are a magician, really enjoy listening to you....would love to show you my Audi S1 Competition
One of them blokes you are generally happy for, living the dream - he built. Good luck Matt
That pattern on the Lambo bonnet and roof reflecting from the lights would look insane on the car
Had the same issues on my Cayenne Turbo S. Turned out to be a cracked body acceleration sensor mounted behind the front right wheel arch lining. Had to wait for one to be made and shipped from Stuttgart.
Must admit the lamborghini looks better with the bumper on, just my opinion though
Mat another option for the tired looking exhaust, is to have it coated. I personally used zircotec. Loads of different colour options available.
You are soooooo informative Mat. and Dad. Keep um com n. Cheers
Hi Mat, just watched the video about the RR and excellent work as normal, cannot wait for the Lamborghini to kick up again!!…cheers mate, you and the team keep up the excellent work…👏👏👏👏
Please don’t do the “bumper delete”. Looks cheesy. Keep it classy Matt
Well done finally finished the Range Rover
Chrissy boy loves the camera 😂😂
My friend's Accord did a similar thing where it turned on all the lights for the cruise, ABS, sensing, and would barely drive and felt like a slipping transmission.

Mods zake ni kali kali sindio?
I like how Matt says "We've got some work to do on the Lamborghini" and we have to wonder which Lamborghini lol
nice work mat fingures always🤞🤞
The exhaust looks awesome as it is...
Who doesn’t love a Mat upload
you keep me entertained even through these tough times of my life,I love your videos man ❤
by any chance can you please do a "travelling 1000 miles in the Range Rover Vogue." video😊
make sure your lambo turbo intakes get fresh, cold air in, not affected by engine heat. 🔥
Get a black headliner in the Range Rover! 😁
Mat Armstrong, by far my favourite RUclips personality
Chassimounted wing!!!LETS GOOOOO🤩👍👍👍
Bumper......gets me every single time
Range Rover - Truly the ultimate chav accessory!

One of my fav builds this Range Rover was. Glad to see it back!
Powder coat the diff mount same colour as the turbos if you do titanium exhaust
Gave up with mine Matt and put a coil spring conversion on it... Best thing I ever did....👍🏻 😁
Hey Mat I did not know about the existence of this channel haha, I am glad that I came across it. Great content m8 😎👍
Matt, has one caught some sun in America whilst wearing a SnapBack by any chance? 🤣
Amazing Channel. Loving the projects you do 🎉
Man she is qween that she is helping uu in ur work 👍💓
This guy is amazing.

£5k for ppf, be cheaper to have a re spray!
Chris needs to buy Jag parts. Take it easy on him🤭
For proper ppf that’s what it costs. And for a good respiratory your looking at 10k +
Place in Derby advertising 3k full PPF
Require vehicle for 3-5 days
A great video! I’ve got to say, I really enjoyed the progress update on multiple cars, such a good format 👌🕺
Hi matt, can u do a tour of ur car collection next video
thankyou Mat and have a great weekend,,👌👍
Magic 😊 Thanks Mat & team!
Big "Wangs" are just chavvy! Towbar though, that's pretty funny! :)
I like this Restoration 👍
You are gifted Matt
You're rocking a solid Miami hat tan, Mat!
3 amigos with the Rover!! ❤
"This is a really thight corner" translation: "Don't kill me woman." the proceeds to hold the seatbelt😂
Ceramic coating on the turbos would have looked better, had my manifold, turbo and downpipes done on the GTR by Zircotech
Use the dynamic setting for better suspension settings
Amazing content once again Matt. Your absolutely smashing it. The week doesn’t come around quick enough for the next Video.
Can’t wait to see the murci stock if this modified
crazy expensive for the wrap.... in Thailand for grade A wrap material it costs roughly 1500 - 2000...
Awesome content as always look forward to sunday
5k !
There should be a cheaper alternative surly.
Looks lovely though.
Mat, When is the next video going to comeout on your main channel?
Also I have a great feeling you 911 gt3 is not in tavarish's unit. I think you have imported it to the UK.

Matt please how do I fix my power steering for my lexus es350. After driving, it the steering starts getting so strong..
The lambo needs its arse puttin back on

LOL hey Mat that sort of thing is what BMW 1 Series owners call normal !!!.... my solution is to just disable any thing like that once it goes tits up !
Something to watch out for 🤗 Sunday Matt day 🙏🏼
Hi Matt, I may be having a similar issue with mine, Did yours say stability control failure, ABS failure, etc, and not go into gear at times?
Thanks Mat & Hannah lots of great segments. love the switching about update format. Peace out
Matt it would be so cool if you made a custom rear bumper or just a diffuser for the lamborghini. Where the turbo’s and exhaust are visible
Transit too. Ford owned Jaguar Land Rover. Could be the module is Ford derived?
The reflection of the lights on the lambo looks insane!!
Glad for your Range Rover!
Mat only need to get the range rover into the paint shop for a top coat of gloss paint! Saves the paint when a bird shits on it!!!!!
Heads up get some extra security on that landy. Loads and loads have been getting stolen round my way there super easy to steel.

You're pretty lucky those ecu's only cost 480 pounds. Had the DME on my e90 320si fail and those are special edition and ofc also vin locked.
The new virgin ones from bmw go for 2k. Luckely I have another one sitting for spares with the same series dme.
Took the CAS (immobilizer) and DME plus the key to a guy that did some witchcraft.
Learned them in the car and it all worked flawlessly again. Set me back 100.
So don't throw this one away hehe
