I guess what I'm saying is sometimes, people just show up  and want to tinker with their own shit. Not everyone is looking to infiltrate the illuminati and steal everyone's "IP" and market it as their own. These are 20+ year old cars.  If you think anyone is going to come on the scene and start marketing a "new" product, I think I have bridge to sell you

Making this XML file requires sitting in IDA for hours and manually searching for addresses, this is assuming you know RE.
People who know RE to this level usually get paid over 100$ per hour. A comprehensive XML that has a lot of addresses (not just a few) would cost anywhere between 300$ to 1000$ to make.
This is assuming the person making it has a similar a2l file.

I developed technology to automate this process, that still requires having at least a similar A2L file though, which again is really not easy to get for Volvo.

So yes, you can pay 100$ for credits for my software and log your car for all of eternity. Minimum purchase is 50$ btw, because that's also the price of the cheapest service, but advanced protocol without prior sub costs 100$.
Or you can continue complaining here and hope that somebody is gonna spend hours to make you the "simple xml file". Probably not going to happen.
This is a DIY forum not a "tune my car for free" forum. So if you need an xml file for your software, start learning RE, then make the xml file and post it here Come back in 5 years when you have accomplished said task. Or pay for a shortcut.

I am guessing you don't work for free, so where does the entitlement come from that you expect other people to?
What do you bring to the table that would motivate someone to use their time to help you?
Nobody said anything about a bin file, that link has software to extract the locations of loggable identifiers from VIDA (those do not help you with a XML though because they are not ram addresses) and on ME7 there is a lot of important stuff missing for tuning.

There seems to be a pattern here. Embracing ignorance and making a ton of (false) assumptions. Not going to get very far with that attitude on here.

Alright, I'm back.  5 years goes by pretty quick, aye?  My initial request was for a stock bin file for my car so I could at least compare them and uploaded my current one for reference for everyone here just in case it would help someone else.  I then realized that since my extracted bin was already modified, I didn't really have anything to go off of. Especially since the stock bin I had was from a manual R. Quite a bit different without knowing anything about this particular platform.  Then I realized that the logging in OpenMoose required an xml file for the params that I couldn't find anywhere.  I hit dead ends every path I thought I could take.  Reading the s4 wiki was cool and all but when I tried searching for the defined variables to disable the rear 02 and cat, all I found was ekonf.  But with so many other values "not defined" I didn't feel comfortable changing anything since I thought my xdf was too out of wack.  I looked for two other variables mentioned in the s4 wiki relating to that and they were not present in either of the Volvo bins I had, so I said yea I'm good. Not trying to completely destroy my DD just yet.

I don't need to pay 50$ for 5k+ of addresses for a first time dude just trying to see what my car is doing a few times.  I can probably do everything I would ever need with the "logging" feature of a Bluetooth obd adapter to be completely honest.

I don't need to extract the csv file from my current vida install using script files.

Thank you, @s60rawr for the files. I can't believe 5 years went by so fast!!

Your ecu has a 95040 eeprom to start, that would be the ID issue.

I tried that as well and it did not work

Hex and dam files. Load into winols and when you export the mod file it will be the correct size.

It's only free because someone else did this for you.
And it's super simple because there's 51 addresses. Compared to my def that has 5272.

And I pass down that to the next guy
I been getting into Ida n other shit myself,  and having fun with this
Do you guys understand fun?
That's why I do this
For fun

What checksums? Flash/eeprom?

I have a 2002 1.8T ECU ME7.5. I put it into bootmode and when i try to read the eeprom using the ME7 EEPROM tool i am getting this error.

Command: ME7EEPROM_st10 --bootmode 95080 -r -p3 --CSpin P4.7 dump.bin

Code:

ME7_EEPROM v1.40
COM: 3, Baud Rate: 10400
Memory type: 95040, size: 512
Chip Select pin: P4.1
Opening COM3 ... OK
Starting Boot_mode ... uC ID response 0xFF. Unknown ID. (error=0x40201)
Closing COM3

I know that some ME7.1.1 ECU's can only be cloned. Map data or eprom information is not able to be transferred over alone. It needs the corresponding dataset files(all 3, eeprom, mpc, flash) from the original ECU. Does anyone know what parts of these files need to match?

ya'll are fucking retarded trying to loop this kid into  your own paid platforms and otherwise
its a QKHJ 2.5t ( same soft  as the 04 R in the states, yes )


throwing him on that "if you don't already know then you shouldn't know" spiel ya'll did to me.
what hes asking is free and super simple....
