What does "Plug & Play" mean?

Plug & Play or Plug 'N Drive refers to all control modules that don't require additional programming. Most units before 1996 (OBD I) are referred to as plug-n-play. All of our Chrysler, Dodge, Plymouth & Jeep units are sold as Plug & Play.

What does "Programmed & Updated" mean?

This term refers to the programming process our mechanics perform on all specified control modules. During this process the vehicles replacement engine control module is VIN Programmed and flashed with the most recent manufacturer updates. These updates can help improve the performance and fuel economy of the vehicle.

Where can I locate my VIN?

You can find the VIN (17 digit identification number) engraved at the bottom corner of the drivers side windshield or inside the drivers door. It can also be found on the title, registration or insurance card of the vehicle.

How can I provide you with my VIN?

While entering your billing information during the checkout process there is a text field titled "VIN" where you can add the number before you pay. Also you can email us at support@mintt.com and we will send you a confirmation email assuring you we have received the VIN.

Where can I find the part (service) number for my vehicle's computer (PCM, ECM, ECU)?

There is an I.D. sticker on the computer that will have the "service number". This may be abbreviated like "serv. no." or "service no." etc. This will be followed by the number that is used for identification. In almost all cases if you provide your Vehicle Identification Number (VIN) we can identify the correct part/service number for your vehicle's module.

Do you offer a Warranty? If so, what are the terms?

Yes, all of our modules include a lifetime warranty. There will be no additional charge to activate it, however we will send a document (DocuSign) stating the warranty's terms and ask that you please electronically sign it.

Can I return my computer?

A faulty computer can be returned within 30 days of the sale but must be accompanied by a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA). Returns are subject to a 20% restocking fee. Returned programmed items are subject to an additional $85 non-refundable programming fee and, if Buyer purchased keys, the return is subject to an additional $90 non-refundable key fee. All returns for money back must be received by Seller within 30 days from the date of original purchase. Returns received after 30 days from the date of original purchase include an option for an exchange or in-store credit.

How does shipping work?

There is a 1-3 day handling time after an order is place. We use USPS Priority shipping to deliver all of our modules. This usually takes 1-3 business days on average and most of our modules are delivered to the customer in less then 5 business days. In some cases we can expedite the shipping and will inform you if that is a possibility.

Will 2017 be the year of the self-driving car?

Like cruise control on steroids, self-driving cars could revolutionize the way we experience road trips or even a drive around town. In theory, being able to kick back and relax while your vehicle does all the work seems like a dream come true. A godsend for weary commuters and those who think driving is just too much work. We are living in an era of everything being instant, at your fingertips, or even being completely automated. Why would driving be...

Auto-Duel: Apps versus Humans

You worked hard for years, then actually wound up living the American Dream: your own house in a nice quiet part of town, with a lawn and even a backyard, too. And a garage. A two-car garage, no less. It might even be attached. Plus quiet neighbors, leafy tree- and bush-lined sidewalks, wide open streets...the American Dream come true. Except it's 2016 and apps like Waze and Google Maps are so popular they're really a must, one of the top reasons to...

Achtung, Engine Control Unit!

It's Monday, June 6, 2016 -- the 72nd Anniversary of D-Day this year, and we here at MINTT, the largest supplier of vehicular control modules, felt that this makes for an appropriate occasion to take a brief look at the military origins of the Engine Control Unit. Yes, the ECU (AKA "ECM," or "Engine Control Module," sometimes) bears a lineage that stretches back to those final few months right before World War II. After all, "War is the Father of All Things," observed Heraclitus, "The Weeping...

A Different Kind of Air Car, Even More Magical

Air cars...no, not those (though you'll be sure to hear from us when that happens!) -- we're talking vehicles powered by the very air! Specifically, grabbing hydrogen right from the air itself to power the engine...unbelievable? Well, it works in the lab! In German culture (or is it "just" Yiddish?), there is the concept of the Luftmensch, someone who lives only on air -- that is, needing nothing but air, only needing to breathe...someone impractical, in other words; a dreamer,...

The Jeep Saves the Day

Ah, Memorial Day 2016...the official start of summer! And nothing conjures warm blue skies like an open-topped vehicle -- say a convertible...or the classic jeep. An SUV's overkill, but the jeep was originally meant to be fast, fun, and light. Well, okay, not "fun;" that was later, thanks to postwar marketing. But just lookit 'em: they practically scream "drive me now!" in some subliminal way -- the shape, the open-topped compactness, just how they look all so inviting with no doors (originally) or...

Car Engine Computers No Longer the Brains

A computer on wheels is what today's automobiles are -- and they will only become ever more computerized as technology improves, which is why even car engine computers are now but one component of a much larger network of modern electronics. Introducing the Controller Area Network, or CAN, basically a kind of brain for the car -- its nervous system, the collection of wires, would be the CANbus -- that "replaces" the ol' car engine computer, such that nowadays an...

Electric Vehicles Making Steady Market Progress

At MINTT, we're always busy staying on top of developments to better serve our customers, and one thing we've been following with particular interest is the trend towards electric vehicles. For all their highfalutin hi-tech, however, these cars actually go waaaayy back to the very beginnings of automotive history! So it's literally an old concept made possible again thanks to new technology. Talk about Back to the Future! Though working designs have been recorded as early as 1828, it really wasn't...

3D-Printed Engines Are Your Next Download

Better arrange to get broadband internet soon if you aren't currently receiving such speeds: your car will probably depend on it one day! That's because 3-D printing is making such advances that it's easily conceivable that we'll all be downloading car parts in the not-so-distant future -- that is, downloading the plans for creating them into our 3-D printers and having a mechanic install it all! Indeed, the mechanic would probably just download the blueprints to his or her own 3-D printer...

Driverless Cars Putting the “Auto” in Automobiles!

It's incredible but you better believe it: driverless cars are on the horizon so it stands to reason that their car engine computers will be that much more complex. Which is why you will continue to need the experts at MINTT for the best brains in the business! Now anyone who's ever tried computer programming knows how tough that is, so it's perfectly natural to be skeptical of all the wild claims about driverless cars. After all, just take a look...
