Make sure everything works, i played hell initially getting romraider to work with my car which is also an 05 outback xt but with a manual. It turned out that my rom wasnt defined and had to change my Cal ID from A2WC521S to A2WC522S to get it to work. Not sure if you will run into this issue since yours is an auto car. If all is well, you should be able to pull up the logger and have access to a large amount of parameters. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RumblyXT Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) I did notice some of the files I had to download from the YouTube video instructions were no longer needed.. (dtd file)..some things may be different as there have updated versions back from when you guys downloaded it. Or would it request the latest updates automatically? I’ll try it tomorrow if I can.

RumblyXT Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) To obtain my first ROM log through ECUFlash, are these steps correct? Connect Tactrix port/PC to OBDII, Engine has to be off/ Open ECUFlash program/ Click on the Read from ECU Flash memory icon/ Click Ok button/ Turn key to On position/ ECU log is generated.. ?? Or should I monitor the engine’s performance, get familiar with RomRaider first? Edited July 10, 2023 by RumblyXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, I’m going to do that first. Update: I'm getting this message when I try launching RomRailer logger. I did download the latest definitions.. Not really sure what's going on.. Wondering if I may still need this DTD file.. Edited July 10, 2023 by RumblyXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xt2005bonbon Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 I don't know if this helps: https://forums.nasioc.com/forums/showthread.php?t=2716476. I have not used, or should I say, set up romraider for a loooong time. Can't remember how I did it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RumblyXT Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Haha.. thanks, I'll figure it out eventually.. PS: I think I got it.. I needed to add the standard def in English to the logger.. Edited July 10, 2023 by RumblyXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) I’ll plug my laptop in tonight and go through the prompts. They have become kind of an automatic process that I click through but I believe the cars prompt you will decline as it only affects virtual dyno. this may also have something to do with the issue I stated above now that I think about it. I believe I was getting that prompt before I changed my Cal ID Edited July 10, 2023 by blackobxt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it works now, will let you know later. Edited July 10, 2023 by RumblyXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to see like one or two perameters after messing with it for a while. I didn’t dare mess with ecu flash till I was pointed towards a long forgotten thread with someone who had the same issue. Took literal months to finally get it figured out.

xt2005bonbon Posted July 10, 2023 Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) Was the laptop connected to your car with ignition on? Once connected, it should show the CAL ID info and stuff (bottom right of your screenshot). Then you'll see all values populated I think.

RumblyXT Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 No. I hadn’t connected it yet to the car, since I wanted to make sure RomRaider was working properly, which looks like it is now.. I’ll try it tomorrow morning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was it maybe because you had to modify the User Level to Advanced or Administrator? Once I changed my user level, most of the parameters went from grayed out to being selectable.

RumblyXT Posted July 10, 2023 Author Share Posted July 10, 2023 (edited) I see what you mean.. Well, for some reason now RomRaider is not opening, at all.. I brought my laptop to work to practice around with it.. I' have tried everything, even uninstalling and re-installing it, it simply won't open. It acts like it wants to open, brings up the picture of it, but then closes immediately after.. sighs Honestly got no clue what's going on.. this thing was working perfect, now just took a dump. Not sure if it's a Java issues, couldn't be because it was working fine.. I don't get it.. I'm about to throw this old laptop in the trash..

RumblyXT Posted July 13, 2023 Author Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Let's just say I became an expert at installing/uninstalling RR/Java.. Did it like 7 times to try to get it to open in that old laptop. Disabled Windows Defender, even through the PC registry.. nothing. I tried literally everything, gave up on that old laptop. But the good thing is I got it to work with my wife's laptop. RR is open and running, Tactrix port connected, I opened RR logger, turned the key to On (2nd position), but no monitoring of any parameters occurred. It doesn't seem to connect yet to the ECU. Not sure if it has to do with the CAL ID blackobxt mentioned.. Edited July 13, 2023 by RumblyXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Key switched to the on/run position correct? Also if you click “connection “ at the top there are options to connect or disconnect. It should automatically connect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blackobxt Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 (edited) Gah I’m an idiot, you can see it’s connected in the bottom right and green on reading data in the top right. You need to click the check boxes on the left to view the data on the right. Looks like you are in good shape!

Like placing the check mark on the certain parameters I want to monitor, then turn key On to 2nd position.. and then you can add other parameters to monitor later? Once car is turned On? At what point can I fire up the engine? Edited July 13, 2023 by RumblyXT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
