Here you`ll find information about the various DIY options we offer.
We offer many of our upgrades as DIY kits. These range in complexity, from simple to use single button to press "chipped" service remotes
(most modern machines), to full firmware chip replacements (applies to older machines only). Where available, DIY kits are shown as a
green tick under the "DIY" option on the product menu for each of the players we support. Further information can be found below for the
different types of upgrades we offer.
"One-shot" Firmware disc / Service remotes:
Simplicity itself! Our "oneshot" service remotes are custom programmed so that you only have to press one key to modifiy your player. Service discs range in complexity, from a single button to a few button presses required from the user on the machine to activate the service mode.
We only provide limited use service remotes on a rental basis, if you are a trade dealer please see our trade section, or contact us for details on how to purchase unlimited use solutions.
Full user instructions are supplied with ALL our upgrades!
"Excel Sprinter" Modifications
Our well known, and now often imitated solution! Not as easy as the remote / firmware disc solution. Pioneer models require use of a PC with an activated serial port, JVC models can be modified via our stand-alone one-shot mod.
"Excel Multi / Auto"
Our original upgrade range from the late 1990s/early 2000 before Sprinter. These modifications are still available for customers whom have
an older dvd player. What the actual upgrade consists of depends on the model you own, but you will need to open your player and soldering is required.
Most of these modifications are quite complex and require specialist SMT (Surface mount technology) soldering experiance and related equipment.
All our DIY kits come with full instalation instructions.
