MAP DCCD Centre Differential Controllers
Where to buy MAP DCCD in Australia: Chicane Australia sells the MAP DCCD Centre Differential Controller online and ships it Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast, with an estimated shipping time of 2 to 4 days. It takes over control of the Driver Controlled Centre Differential in Subaru WRX STI models such as the GDB, GRB and VAB, and in WRX models converted to a DCCD gearbox. The unit stores four maps at once, connects to a laptop by USB, and offers an automatic mode based on the factory STI logic plus a manual mode set by the dial. It can also work with the factory STI thumbwheel.
MAP DCCD makes programmable controllers for the Subaru DCCD. The controller drives the electromagnetic coil inside the centre diff, so you can set how hard the diff locks and how torque is split.

Choosing the Right Part
MAP DCCD controllers only work with a DCCD-equipped gearbox. Before ordering, check the following:
- Gearbox type: the controller needs a gearbox with a Driver Controlled Centre Differential. Most non-STI WRX models use a viscous centre diff and are not compatible unless they have been converted to a DCCD transmission.
- Chassis: the controller suits Subaru WRX STI platforms with DCCD, including the GDB, GRB and VAB, as well as WRX models swapped to a DCCD 6-speed gearbox.
- Extra inputs: the listing notes a built-in 3-axis accelerometer, data logging output and inputs for sensors such as steering angle, throttle, brake, handbrake and ABS signals.
Installation & What You'll Need
Installation by a professional is recommended. You will need:
- A car fitted with a DCCD-equipped gearbox.
- A laptop with the MAP DCCD control software and a USB cable, if you want to tune beyond the base maps.
FAQ
Where can I buy a MAP DCCD controller in Australia?
Chicane Australia carries the MAP DCCD Centre Differential Controller and ships Australia-wide from the NSW Central Coast. Contact our team with your chassis and gearbox if you need help confirming it suits your car.
Can I use MAP DCCD with a non-DCCD gearbox?
No. MAP DCCD is designed to control the electromagnetic coil inside a Subaru Driver Controlled Centre Differential. If your gearbox has a viscous centre diff, as most non-STI WRX models do, you will need to upgrade to a DCCD-equipped transmission first.
How many maps can MAP DCCD store?
Four maps are stored at once, so you can set up separate maps for road, wet or dry track, rally or drag use and switch between them.
Do I need a laptop to tune MAP DCCD?
The unit comes with base maps. Custom tuning needs a laptop running the MAP DCCD control software, connected by USB.
Does MAP DCCD work with the factory STI thumbwheel?
Yes. MAP DCCD can be configured to work with the factory STI interior controls, so you can cycle through maps or adjust locking force manually.
