Hey guys (and maybe gals, not sure if any exist here), I'm having trouble with logging my ecu. I have a VW AWW 06A 906 032 DL and I've tried (what I feel like is) everything. I've attempted to connect and log with Nefmoto, which I can get to connect but for some reason the program loses connection every time I start to record a log. Next I've tried Visual ME7Logger using the video "How to Log For Dummies" figuring it would be "dummy" proof. 

I have downloaded what I thought would be my stock ecu from here: http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=463.0 and there is either no file inside the .rar or I am doing something wrong. Can anyone assist a true dummy on how to get all this software up and running? I have read so much stuff that I can't help but to want to get into this stuff but I just can't get this locked down.

I'm having trouble with my files also, where/how to pull my ecu data, where to put that file so I can properly log, logging, etc.. The information provided between here, S4 WIKI, YouTube, and Audiworld is such a vast land of jumbled information that I'm trying to piece together that I'm having trouble with what I consider "the basics". Then again, maybe this is the hard part, I dunno...

Well stated. I think I'm trying to accomplish this stuff in a short amount of time as opposed to trying different things. I get frustrated easily when something doesn't work as planned

I will try the cluster fuse removal to see if I get anywhere with that. Now it's back to the drawing board to try to get my files all in order as that is another one of my main stumbling blocks.

Thanks for the info!

Nyet, I'm not quite sure I follow. Are you saying that my cheap eBay cable may be inadequate? I have an MPPS and Motoza cable (previous car), which I have not tried yet. Is this a simple cable issue or is this something that I'm going to need to build, referring to your "dedicated k-line" wire?

So, Mr. Secretive, how would one go about finding out?

J/K, seriously though do you have any suggestions?
