A Bin file extracted from my current vida install doesn't really get me anywhere without prior knowledge of how this all works. Since I've posted I have gotten the following:
- prj promoting his logging software in the form of "credits" with a x credit minimum purchase.
- prometey with a bin file for an essentially different car which I appreciate but it basically serves me no good with no prior knowledge of how any of this works.
- and you, athlon for giving me the link to a GitHub in order to extract a bin file from my current install of vida. Then what?
All of this for a simple xml file in order to load it into the open source OpenMoose program so I can see what's going on with my car from a hobbyist perspective. Does anyone even use this or is this entire thread full of people who have already worked out what's needed and have kept it in the "inner circle"

Most was said by PRJ but i would just add that even if you get full XML for free and full MAPs definitions for free there is still big chance that you end up with poor running car or maybe even with blown engine (but this is more probable with bigger turbo and more mechanical modification). Its not that easy as most people who begin their adventure with ECU tuning think But its not "impossible" to do this, you just need a lot of time into this to get decent knowledge. And i am talking only about doing tune on the BIN assuming you already have full logging and full maps defs "for free" So all depends on your attitude. If you just want to have your car tuned - better pay someone to do it. If you want to learn something because you have a lot of free time - then its quite different story - ME7 is the best ECU to start with. But forget about doing decent tune on your own car unless you spend like half a year 6-8 hours a day learning
