NOTES FOR FLASHING:

If at any point a flash fails, do not cycle the key, just restart the process.

If at any point it fails to connect (error message, unable to open FTDI, etc), just open VCDS and connect.
If that works, restart the flashing sofware.


LOGGING:

Step4: Email Daz the log. It is stored as a CSV file in teh LOGS folder on the desktop.

I feel ya somewhat. Here's the thing though, and hopefully this might help you think of it differently.

It's NOT just a millennial thing. I had a really hard time figuring out some of the aspects of tuning, not with the Nefmoto software, but I had issues with boot mode programming.

I'm not stupid by any means, hell, I don't even score poorly in reading or language, I never took the sat, but I scored nearly perfect on my military ASVAB in every category...highest my recruiter had ever seen, I was offered any mos I wanted in the Army, even military intelligence.

I still had a HUGE issue trying to learn to boot mode program, I spent an entire night awake after an Allroad ecm became bricked and the customer was freaking out on me.

Science and psychologically have studied the subject intensively and some people are just visual learners. I start reading and get lost when it comes to technical things only, because I start trying to visualize when it's talking about this wire needs power this needs ground, hold for such and such seconds, etc and I get lost.

Once I learned it I wondered how the hell I ever had an issue,  but it's how my brain works.

This isn't really so with reading literature, I even speak German as well no problem and can read it. But if what I am reading is technical or mechanical in nature, if I don't have pictures to see what we are talking about, I quickly become lost.

There's just different learning styles.

hey i see that me7 tuning guide is s4wiki and is a lagit how to , is there any websites like that for vw mk4 24v vr6 platforms . having trouble finding anything on my platform on here . im going to continue reading a shit ton !

Hi, great video and post in general, thank you.
A question for flashing my Bentley ME7.1.1
It has two ECU's, a master and a slave. How do I go about flashing both using obd2 or must they be removed and bench flashed?
On the bench you then run into immo issues. I tried to flash a spare ecu I have but it messaged immo not recognised or something to that effect and i could not proceed. I am picking it needs to be in the car to be flashed?
Any pointers or info greatly received!
Cheers.
