NefMoto

Hello, I've been poking around for a while and have finally taken the time to at least try and log my car going through the complete how to guide on Audizine which brings me here. The one step mentions to pull my bin file from my car to make a template. I have Nefmoto installed with the cable (ebay) driver installed and can read faults and the control module. Here's where I'm not sure what to do. Me being not the most computer savy I don't really see anything that correlates to pull, copy or extract bin file. I have a 2000 S4 stage 3, with an Allroad module flashed by a local tuner. Since it's flashed can I even pull the bin file? I have noticed the car is using fuel and has lost performance so I'm looking to diagnose it. I'm not interested in messing with the tune and definetely don;t want to be left with a non running car. I'd like to do this as safely as possible. Any help would be grateful.

Thanks, Micah

Open nefmoto. Select the KWP2000 FLASHING tab (next to logging). Select a memory layout (29f800bb). Click FULL READ FLASH. Click YES when prompted. When it finishes reading it will prompt you to enter a name and destination to save the BIN you just pulled from your ecu.

If it is protected or encrypted, nefmoto won't pull it.

You'll have to figure out which box it is (VAGCOM can do this) and download the approprate stock image from here

Man you guys are quick! Thanks. I'll try it tonight or tomorrow morning. It did list a part number on the screen if I remember correctly.

OK, I got the bin file from the tuner and now when I go through I get an error " cannon find specific path" so after reading through every single thread here and on Audizine, there was an instruction if you have that error to read the "read me" section which I did but can't seem to get the command prompts right to create the ECU file. In the quick start it says set the path, which seemed to go through, when I type in the ME7info C:\Binaries\my_binary.bin  it stats ME7info is not recognized as a internal or external command. Any help would be great. I'm new to this so be easy on me. I'm sure my command directions are not correct.

That means you are not located in the correct directory. Simple.
http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chusedos.htm (http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chusedos.htm) - read this.

You did not set up the PATH correctly.

Where is your ME7Info.exe located?

C:\Program Files\ME7Logger_DIST_02042012_v1.17\bin  Is the the location where ME7info is. I thought I set it up correctly.

Make it simple. Put me7_95040 on your desktop. Then, to read, the cmd should look like this:

desktop\me7_95040 --OBD -r -p 1 95040.bin

Obviously desktop will be preceded by your directory, but that will be done for you.

Did you add that to your PATH environment variable correctly?

Now that I have read, http://www.computerhope.com/issues/chusedos.htm, I will try it again the correct way tonight. Thanks again to everyone that has been patient wit me.

OK I got me7info to run, here is where I am. The next step in the readme doesn't work for me, I'm probably not labeling it right. See attached

Why are you attaching a word doc? Just paste the output into your message.

It was a screen print of what I as getting which showed what I was typing in and the view of the directory.

Me7info has run and list the options available. I'm then supposed to

 "Feed your ecu's binary to the ME7Info tool, this will generate your characteristics file in the ecus-directory, e.g.:
     ME7Info  C:\Binaries\my_binary.bin"

I have my ecu binary stored in the ME7logger folder labeled as 8D0907551A.bin

If I do the above and use my location for my bin which is
C:\Program Files\ME7Logger_DIST_02042012_v1.17\8do907551a.bin

It just brings me back to me7info subdirectory

So I'm not sure what to do now.

Hope that helps explain my screen shot.

CMD prompt isn't your strong suite, not a big deal. Just download the GUI (graphical user interface).

LOL. You are so correct. The GUI is not working, which prompted my post here. It can't find my specific path when selecting my bin.file

You don't need a word doc to post a screen shot.

AND you can copy text from a cmd prompt shell - you don't need a screen shot at all.

I tried copying the text from a command prompt and it wouldn't copy it. I tried posting an image and it wouldn't post either. Sorry.

Try png or jpg next time, not bmp...

You have to right-click and copy manually in CMD, the ctrl-c command stops the current operation. To simplify, put everything into 1 folder, then navigate to it with CMD and run the .exe, replace the path to the file with just the filename. Your command isn't working because you don't have quotation marks around the path, you need them if there's a space anywhere in the path, in this case it's Program Files.

Create a folder on C drive, named ME7L or something simple like that.

Unzip the contents with folder names option to C:\ME7L

Paste your binary in C:\ME7L\bin.

Start CMD.exe.

Don't type the actual quotes below, just what's between them.

Type "CD C:\ME7L\bin" and press enter.

Type "ME7Info binary.bin" (replace binary.bin with the name of your binary file) and press enter.

The prompt will now tell you it found stuff. This created your *.ecu file in the ecus folder.

Next, type "ME7Info -t binary.bin" (again replace binary.bin with the name of your binary file) and press enter.

Again the prompt will tell you it found stuff and created your *.cfg file in the logs folder.

OK, that all work! Thanks! I'll play with it some more tonight and tomorrow. Should at some point I be able to use the GUI to get the logger to run? I think I read some where that you need to restart the computer to get the GUI to run after configuring ME7 with CMD.exe.

Ok, I'm stuck. I did the above, but how do I get the logger to run so I can log?

I finally got my all up and running. I am no wiz with this but if you follow the read me instructions on how to run it after you've done what you did, it should work. You'll need the ebay cable and download the driver and verify the port. I believe the command is something like me7logger -p (you ecu file). Though I never got the GUI to work. It still can't find the path even though it's in the same file. Good luck, these guys on here are very helpful.
