TIP#1: Learn about the manufacturer

Start your decision-making process by doing your homework. Your ECU dealer should help you answer the following questions about various ECU manufacturers:

• Do they specialize in developing ECU units?

• Have they developed innovative products or do they "follow the market" by copying other designs?

• How many improvements have they made to their original designs?

You can learn about the system's manufacturer by carefully reading the literature it provides. But you may also want to talk to someone who has seen the evolution of ECUs, such as your occupational therapist. Getting to know the company behind each system can help you avoid purchasing an inappropriate ECU.
