I'm curious if there's a market for these and what would be a fair price? OEM connectors. Led on the ECU output to verify that it has power. standard jst power plug This is the one I made for myself. It would be very similar. http://imgur.com/02cXFdT.jpg |

I don't like a loose wire hanging so I made the boot cable a separate piece. It's just as easy to use but cleans up the look of the main cable.
It's in the FS section of the forum

Are you talking about a switch on pin 3? I had one on the cable pictured in this thread and ended up removing it. It didn't help with bootmode. I could connect to the ecu with the switch in either position

In order for it to be a good seller you will need it as many ECUs have to be powered up and then use the flick of the switch to simulate ignition and get in and out of boot mode.
It looks well made, I already have one like it but would buy another for backup at your price as i am sure many people would.

Agreed. Just needs a switch, and i'd probably buy one as a backup as well.

Also, consider adding a DB9 serial connector inline. This will ensure you can expand on it for other ecus!

Thank you for the feedback and constructive criticism
Ive tried it with a mkiv and A6 ecu. What else is ME7.5? I'm just surprised that mine worked without a switched power supply.
A db9 and cluster version are in the works. Waiting on parts

When you guys say boot mode cable, do you want something that's permanently attached to the bench cable or the alligator clip that's with it now? I don't want to start a new thread so I'll put this here. It needs a bit more testing, but I'm so excited I have to share it now  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CxTz1bw_ZkE |

Mine is just a ground wire attached to the harness. I tinned the end of it and it has a sleeve you can slide over it for insulation when not in use.

That's what I did, sans the sleeve. |

I dont need swich either to connect to 551K, but if i would have one it seem to me, it would be on pin 62. Pin 3 is main power, u want to simulate ignition. Am i right or wrong? |
