NefMoto

Hey everyone, new to the site, new to the software, so so with computers.  got everything downloaded and installed.  hop on nefmoto software and connect to my 2000 audi 4.2 auto quattro with a 4d0907558s computer.  connects good and saves info.  switch over to full read and pic a memory layout and click full read.  error.  ok.  switch to 38400 baud.  gets to 4% fails.  restart everything and try again.  gets to 4% and fails.  Here is a copy and paste of what happens, where have i gone wrong?  i selected memory ME7 29F800BB  Which i think is correct but i cannot be sure.

 :'( :'( come on guys, can someone please point me in the right direction?

Is the answer really to give up and buy a different setup?

You are going to want a bootmode capable set up no matter what.

Incase of write failure putting it in brick mode right?

Not always but usually. It is not a tragedy.

Also, not in all, but in most cases you can just repeat write and get you brick alive. Especially in boot mode.

All good info, but why isn't nef reading what's in my ecu?

If you're doing this with the ecu installed in the car, try putting a charger on it. Say 2-5A. I've had cars that were difficult to read, get much more stable with slightly higher voltage. Going too high seemed to make things worse. YMMV of course, but this works for me on occasion.

Car has a good newer optima in it but I have a charger specificly made for programming cars so that is easy enough to hook up.  I'll give that a shot tonight.  After connecting I turned the speed down to 34k should I go lower maybe? It failed at both full speed and 34k at 4%.

Ok i ended up getting it to read, new problem lol.  Where can i get the XDF Tunerpro needs to accurately display tables?  I attached the stock BIN i pulled out of my audi incase it is of any use to answer my question or otherwise.

Not many people doing NA4.2 xdfs since tuning them doesn't really yield any worthwhile gains.

Pointless motor, imo

Solution?

10400 kbs and switched connection address to functional.  had charger on it.  failed a few times.  persistence mostly.   And as far as no gains and worthless motor what is your malfunction? i need to change some settings in the ecu to get it to behave the way i want.  it makes 300hp im not looking for more power.
