Does anybody know how to or what’s involved in editing the ccf? Reason I ask is I have a base model meridian system and I know you can retro fit an amp from the premium system but apparently the ccf will need re coding.

CCF's are very easy to change using a suitable diagnostic tool sir... IID tool works best IMHO

Any links to an IDD tool that would do this Craig?

Site has al info & also shop.
May be one for sale in the classifieds on here, if not they come up reasonably often.
You would just need to contact GAP to allow you register it to your vin as they're vin locked.

Before I fork out for a IDD tool. I know nothing about ccf. I’ve been lead to believe that basically you can add to what you haven’t got in some cases. Is this true. I’ve heard that people have added timed climate when the car wasn’t specced with it from factory??
If a premium edition amp is added ( 1700w ) instead of a base model 820w. What in the ccf needs to be changed?
Powerful uk have proven the amps can be swapped out but the amp they had in the first place was the premium version.
Then someone in the comments brought up the fact if you was swapping from a base model amp to a premium it wouldn’t make a difference until you changed the ccf. I don’t get it?

In simple term, the Car Configuration Files (CCF) are necessary to tell the cars modules (computers) what software to use when you change the cars hardware...

So, you replace/add for example a Rear View Mirror with a camera. You then need to tell the module/computer that there is now a camera in the system by changing/manipulating the CCF file...

Caution!!! This can cause BIG problems if you don’t know what your doing! So care must be taken when changing files as there can be a knock on effect to other modules elsewhere!

This is what I’m concerned about. If it can be done it’s a worthwhile mod to me. But if I do mess something up then it could be costly. Especially as I can’t find anyone who’s done it.

Obviously not a Range Rover. But a Jag so the same process.
