2005legacy2.5i Posted October 4, 2010 Author Share Posted October 4, 2010 Got my cable! Tried to use ecuflash with IanB's definition, it didn't work but I have never done anything like this before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted October 4, 2010 Share Posted October 4, 2010 sweet! I'm sure we can get a definition made based on his if we post on the romraider forums. I doubt all hope is lost. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2005legacy2.5i Posted October 5, 2010 Author Share Posted October 5, 2010 Well I have been trying to read my ecu and have failed, Here are the logs from Ecuflash...ecu logs.pdf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IanB Posted October 5, 2010 Share Posted October 5, 2010 I still haven't had a chance to mess with mine again, hopefully tonight but things are busy right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey Ian is it a possibility for you to give me a little walk through on what I need to do to get my ecu to work with ECUflash, because I think your definition should work for me if I do everything correctly.

Tahnks, Dennis If I knew what I was doing I'd have this tune thing finished by now, lol! I'm more than happy to answer any questions you have, but at this point I am far from an expert on the topic. I'm learning as I go, and running into problems every step along the way it seems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haha alright thank you, my issue is that I can log with romraider but I cannot get ecuflash to read my ECU it says " [15:15:49.320] Using interface FT232R USB UART A800ecIx [15:15:49.320] interface close [15:15:49.327] unable to connect to vehicle interface.

[15:15:49.327] interface close " I am lost, any help would be greatly appreciated! When I 1st set everything up, I was able to datalog with ROMRAIDER, and read my ecu using ECUFLASH. When I got my new definitions, I think I put them in the wrong places, and nothing worked. Then I re-did ROMRAIDER and got my datalogging working again, but I can't get it to read the ecu, so that's where I'm stuck, and I just haven't had a chance to mess with it again. I didn't note what the error messages were though, I'll pay attention next time I mess with it and we can compare. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, I will play around with the definitions, Your definion should work for me because i guess it doesn't matter with this def. if your car is AT or MT. Thanks Again, let us know how it goes!

nastorino Posted October 8, 2010 Share Posted October 8, 2010 I found the vag-com cable o deal extreme but say i wanted the tactrix cable instead for a 3.0R, where might I find a brand new or even used one. Not sure if the car will accept the vag-com cable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 Just got my VAG com in, christ that took like 3 weeks! Can't wait to play around with this thing and (probably) be let down Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bmx045 Posted October 13, 2010 Share Posted October 13, 2010 :lol::lol::lol: I got my '09 2.5i SE tuned via open source and it really helped with throttle response time and constant power band throughout the whole RPM range. It also has a higher idle(750 or so) to smoothen it out....unfortunately don't have pre/post dyno results.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 2005Legacy2.5i, you're not alone. I'm in the car right now getting the same errors you did and can't figure it out for the life of me. I've tried Windows ECUFlash and OSX ECUFlash to no avail so far. It just won't interface with the ecu Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Got it. You need to use ECUFlash 1.29a. I can provide the link later when I'm back on OSX. I think I saved the rom correctly... LINK: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VBFURU6Z Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LINK: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=VBFURU6Z EDIT: I used version 1.31 and was able to read the ROM, but I can't get it to work currently.

burnout8488 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Yeah, I'm stuck where you were so eventually we'll be able to put our heads together. My RomRaider won't touch the ECU now either :/ Tomorrow's another day.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sulk Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 My cable was shipped last friday, lets home it comes soon. I will probably be in the same boat as you guys, but hopefully we can figure it out together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

burnout8488 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 If your 3.0R is 05-06, you don't need tactrix and you can use the cheapo VAGCOM that we are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Okay guys, I just want to make sure I'm doing this right. I'm 90% sure what the files are for. The RomRaider file entitled: 2005Legacy25i-E2ZJ101B_V1.xml Is this only for the TUNER to use once I send them my ROM? Do I need this file to LOG? This file is listed as an "Editor Def" on the RR forums, leading me to believe I don't need this because I am not the one that will be doing the actual TUNING of my car, correct? What files am I supposed to be loading into RomRaider in order to begin datalogging? When I am logging in RR do I load the ECUFlash Definition as the "Logger Definition?" Or 2005Legacy25i-E2ZJ101B_V1.xml? I think I know what I'm doing, but I want to be entirely sure that I'm doing everything right first. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burnout8488 Posted October 14, 2010 Share Posted October 14, 2010 Update: Used ECUFlash 1.31 (1.30 won't work) and it recognized the experimental definition. I was able to create a .hex with this. Woo! Problem: RomRaider EDITOR won't load it, it says the ECU definition can't be found, even though I pointed it to the RR Definition above. Should I post the .hex on RR forums to get a definition made? Is there a chance that the American ECU is different from Canadian and requires different defs? 3PM Update: Datalogging works. :-) Now I just have to get the editor def problem sorted out and I'll be ready to send out for a tune.

burnout8488 Posted October 15, 2010 Share Posted October 15, 2010 I posted my rom on the RR forums and it looks like a new definition is required for our cars. I'm not sure if its the transmission, or because my car is USDM that a new one is required, but it will be made nonetheless! http://www.romraider.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=8&t=6631&p=63391#p63391 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
