Modern vehicle engines are controlled by the Engine Control Unit (ECU) which is a type of tiny computer that controls various aspects of the engine such as ignition timing, air/fuel ratio, and boost pressure. When you adjust these settings, your vehicle can be customized to increase either performance or economy, or sometimes both. Remapping, also known as chipping is performed when third-party software is installed onto the ECU to replace the manufacturer’s existing software. This new software comes up with customized settings to get the most out of the engine that can best match each specific vehicle's needs.
When you connect a laptop to the vehicle’s OBD serial port, you can install this new software to your vehicle. This way, it can be done quite quickly. In older vehicles, their engine’s computer chip has to be removed completely to install a new chip that has the latest software. Thus this process is called chipping.

For example, if you own a BMW car, then we provide the best BMW Key Programming in the UK.
What Are The Effects Of Remapping?
Changes in ECU software can result in an engine performing a lot closer to its maximum capabilities, usually by increasing horsepower and torque by 20% or more! The performance of most of the vehicles is intentionally reduced when they leave the factory for several reasons. This process is often done so that the vehicle adheres to emissions regulations, or economy or noise regulations. Also, vehicles always come with warranties, and the last thing a manufacturer wants is to rebuild or replace damaged engines. For this reason, the performance is always much lower than the capacity of the engine.
Most manufacturers release makeover versions of each model of the car they produce after a few years before they introduce an entirely new version. By customizing these ECU settings themselves on the makeover models, you can find a quick and easy increase in the vehicle’s performance figures. This makes them the desired vehicle for you without much or any additional engineering required.
