I would recommend you remove ECU Flash completely, and reinstall with the definitions provided, just to be on the safe side.

 

Your Rom Raider question is better suited to its own thread in the Tuning forum as it is beyond the scope of these instructions.

Ok, thanks. I'll see it it reads more reliably with a definition file.... going through this thread I do see user m sprank does suggest it's not as 'reliable' as the actual Tactrix cable.

Yes. I used those definitions with my Windows XP machine and it worked great. That file was included with the cable when I purchased it and tuning service from Infamous. I'm not sure why they claim it doesn't work with earlier versions... My Windows 7 machine didn't need the definitions, at least from what I remember... Check my Win 7 instructions to be sure.

 

I'm not sure what your issues might be related to. Which program is giving you trouble, ECU Flash, or Rom Raider?

The problems are with ECU Flash. It'll randomly stop reading the ECU with an error. Once I had it read fully but I didn't have the A2WF200C definition, so it didnt know what the ECU was.

I just don't want to write back and brick my ECU if it fails...

Also need to figure out how to paste the tables into romraider from the base maps. When the map says Target Boost [Table3d], am I supposed to put that in Target Boost A in ROMRaider?

Here you go, use these definitions:

0.8.3.1b

I'm about to update the first post with this link as well

Thanks! Are you sure these work with 1.29? They look a lot like the ones from RomRaider that say they won't.

I had some problems reading the ECU, it took a couple tries even at 4800 baud. Is there a way to improve the reliability here? I don't want to have it flake when I write back.

Hi there, I have a couple questions.

I got the blue OBD-II cable from Amazon, followed the directions on the first post except for the EcuFlash definitions, because the link on romraider says they are only good for 1.40 and above, and I'm using 1.29 so I can use a generic cable.

So, when I went to save the rom it didn't know what it was, so I told it to inherit the properties of a 2006 Legacy GT, A2WF200N and tagged it as a 2006 Legacy GT Auto and saved it.

Is this ok, or are there some older definitions that will read the proper ECU info ?
