Superchip Microtuner for Escape/Maverick

I have 2003 ford Maverick (Escape for Europe) 3.0 engine. Does the Microtuner suite for my car?
Thank you in advance for all answers.
Lida.

Open the hood. On the top-center of the firewall you'll see the computer box with a wiring harness bolted to it with a 10mm bolt. On that box you'll see a 4 digit code (3 letters followed by one number). Let me know that code and I'll tell you if a Superchips Custom Microtuner will work with it. If you don't see the code there, open the passenger side door. On the door frame where the hinges are you may see a white decal with the code on it.

I found the following numbers and letters on the computer box:
MPC-161
3L8A-12A650-YA
YHJ0 (I think, it's a code)
Thanks,
Lida.

That's great. And is the shipment to Russia possible? I live in Kazan, we have the DHL office here. And what is the price of shipment. I can pay with VISA.
And if I'll buy the Microtuner which suites my vehicle, can I use it for new 2005 Escape/Maverick, or I need to reprogram it?
Thank you,
Lida.

Yes, if we can get certified funds. Can't take credit cards except from USA, Canada and Puerto Rico. It would need to be reprogrammed for 2005.

I want to buy the Superchips Microtuner.
1. Could you please suggest how can I pay for this device and shipment.
2. Can I connect the microtuner to the computer, what is necessary for this connection. And will it be possible in future to buy from you only programm for 2005 Escape?

You'll need to contact MotorHaven ( www.motorhaven.com) and make arrangements for a cashiers check to be sent. No, it will not connect to the computer. It may be possible to program it for a 2005, but I can't guarantee it, it depends on the PCM code.

I checked the Motorhaven site and they don't seem to have a microtuner for the 3.0L Escape. Where should I look?

Its not a Superchips Microtuner. Its a Superchips Custom Microtuner. Two completely different companies . Superchips Custom buys the hardware from Superchips and we program them using Superchips Custom's software for the specific Ford application. The Escape is listed here:

I tryed to make the order via motorhaven.com, but I do have some questions: there is the same product for Escape 2001-2005, how can I be sure that the product is exact for my vehicle.
Next thing is the following - when I'm making the order - I must fill the special form. I'm from Russia but in this form there is only two countries - USA ant Canada.
Thanks and sorry for so many questions.
Lida.

The product is the same for all Fords. It comes to us blank and we program it for the vehicle's specific PCM code. The form will only take the USA and Canada. We normally don't ship anywhere else due to the fraud rates, and the credit card companies don't cover us for such loss.

Is there any way to take an SCT Tuner that is already programmed for another vehicle and adapt it to the Escape?

I have a Superchips flip chip that I replaced with an SCT Tuner on my Lightning. Could I re-install the chip into the Lightning and then send the SCT Tuner in for reprogramming for the Escape?
