Hey guys!
I have a cousin in Germany who has taken my dad's old 2002 Camry automatic from the USA to use there. Everything was going fine until he realized that it limits your speed to something like 120 Miles per hour... He has asked around in Germany but not many people in the town he lives in knows how to remove this limiter. I have heard that there are devices that plug into the service port in the car and allow you to remove this limit? Does anyone here have any idea at all how this can be done and where I can buy the necessary tools?
Thanks in advance!

 

There are devices that can be placed into the wiring such as at the link below:

Do a search on "speed cut limiter."

They appear to fool the ECU into thinking the MPH is not going over a certain speed.

 

Thanks this is exactly the kinda thing I'm looking for! But do you know which wire I would have to connect it to? there are apparently tons of wires in the ECU?

 

I have never installed one of these units. The unit most likely installs into the cars Variable Speed Sensor wiring. This is a sensor on the trans differential housing which sends an electrical signal to the speedo indicating speed (based on diff ring gear RPM). Kind of like the old speedometer cable but now done electronically.

Suggest you do some research on which unit you think is best including emailing or calling the vendor and asking a lot of questions. Make sure the unit is for your specific Make and Model of car. Hks, blitz, greddy make these units.

Any unit should come with wiring directions and have the pinouts to connect to. If you need help send a private message to me.

 

Ok so I didn't really understand much of that lol because my cousin is the car guy not me. So I'll let him know what you just said and post back with questions or maybe a PM Thanks so much for the help so far!
