A C Q U I S I T I O N CUPRA Leon Competición uses the ECU as the main data logger of the car. To setup the parameters to include in the logging such as names or acquisition frequencies it is necessary VAG SYSMA from Marelli.
3 . 1 . V A G S Y S M A CUPRA will flash a homologated project into the ECU’s. SYSMA projects contains several files and functions: CLX files that contain the engine maps. CAUTION. Teams cannot modify CLX files since it could be dangerous for the engine and modifies the homologated checksum.

G A T E W A Y Gateway device has the function of router for the different CAN-BUS and LIN- BUS lines and in addition to controlling other series components such as car lights or wiper. This device does not usually have updates, but sometimes it does. For this reason, access to this component is temporary and through a license when this occurs.

How to setup your car configuration: If the gateway will work on an Audi RS3 LMS TCR or a CUPRA Leon Competición, it is not needed to do any other action. It will automatically recognise the car and will adapt by itself.
F I R E E X T I N G U I S H E R The Lifeline Zero 275 extinguisher range (UK Patent Application No. GB1813948.5) is homologated to FIA8865-2015 standard. IMPORTANT: 1. Only use alkaline PP3 batteries to spec 6LR61 2.
If the system is showing no faults, it can be set to Armed mode using the switch on the Control Box. The Red LED will now flash every 3 seconds. If the LED does not flash, there is a fault in the system and the system will not fire! IMPORTANT: Data extinguishers have a caducity of 2 years.
