	Can't connect when ignition is on « on: April 17, 2017, 10:13:11 AM »

Hello,

First of all I want to say a big thank you to all Nefmoto members and a special thanks to everybody who's idea was to start this awesome forum.
It's definitely a Bible for all who want to understand how to tune a car and much more.
I'm new to this forum and to tuning generally.
My current problem is that the VisualME7logger connects only when the ignition is off.

As soon as I turn the ignition on it disconnects and I get the message:

Error! Exit code:4
=>could not connect to ECU, exiting ...
exiting (cause=0x4)...

Also if I pull dash fuse on the running engine I have no problem to connect.

It would be great if anybody could help me understand what is going on.

to the car:
A3 8L AUQ Tiptronic.

to the cable:
EBAY VAG COM FTDI (BLUE CABLE)

Many thanks in Advance.

Split topic.

Known issue.

some clusters interfere with logging.

Run a separate kline to the ecu when logging or log with cluster unplugged.

Could you please tell which one is the K-Line and how to connect it to the ECU?

Set connection method to SLOW-0x00.
Set the speed to the maximum that it allows.
Turn on the ignition.
Connect, start logging.

Start car.

Should work just fine on AUQ.

I just want to share my observations and experience how I manage ME7looger to get to work.

Somewhere in the forum I have read that connecting the "NefMoto VW Audi ME7 ECU Flasher", disconnecting it and than connecting the ME7logger should work.
it was explained that some IMMOS are blocking the connection and "NefMoto VW Audi ME7 ECU Flasher" is disabling it while connecting.

I have tried as described and it worked.

Interesting theory. Wish we had source code for both to fix the logger, if true.
