I succeeded flashing my 1.8t ecu using version 1.3.0.1, it took 4:05 to write whole flash, I wonder if it could even be writen in less time just skipping blocks that match ckecksum. Congratulations your software is amazing. Also, found that the voltage needed to write the ecu is much lower than I thought. This morning when I realized that the passengers seat heater was turned on, the battery was discharged to the point of being unable to start the car and I could still flash the ecu at 9.5v  . |

So we can not download our current tune from the ecu to our computer with this version? Or did I read that wrong?
Josh
Support for reading ECUs is coming in the next update that I will hopefully release next week. Stay tuned!  |

Glad to hear my software works with the 1.8T! Can you post the year, and part number, etc for the ECU so I can update the list of supported ECUs? Were you using version 1.3.1.1 that allows you to bypass the flash precondition check with the confirmation dialog? If so, can you tell me which precondition it says doesn't pass? How does the 4 minute flash compare to Galletto or KWP2000? You can flash the ECU by only updating the flash chip sectors that don't match. Doing it that way takes about 1 minute instead of 4. I just haven't enabled that feature in the current release. |

Looks like the FTDI driver doesn't like W7 x64. I downloaded the 64 bit installer for the D2XX drivers, but I'm going to guess that I need to change the VID and PID in the inf? edit: I changed the VID and PID in the 2.06.00 release from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm and all is well. I attached the modified driver package. You will have to agree to installing the unsigned driver as a result. Unfortunately I can't test it as I don't want to overwrite my current flash. Thank you for taking the time to investigat the x64 issue. I will try to test again on a Win7 x64 machine myself. I swear I already tested it, but maybe something changed. I would have thought that the VID and PID of the USB device would be the same regardless of being 32 or 64bit. EDIT: I looked at your modified driver files. It seems you changed the VID and PID values from the FTDI default to the values that are used for the Ross-Tech VAG-COM cable. I'm not sure if your issue has to do with running 64bit Windows, but instead may have to do with not having the Ross-Tech FTDI driver installed. |

Actually, the issue I had was that dpinst.exe can't install the x64 drivers... this is what I first got when I launched the flash tool... sorry I forgot to attach before:  It will probably be a while before I can find one of my spare ECU's to test it. |

Stupid DPInst.exe
DPInst is the Microsoft driver preinstaller. I will double check the configuration and try to find out the problem with installing the drivers on an x64 system.
Thanks for taking the time to give me the exact error message.

It will work on any post-2002 1.8T and perhaps in others as well. I will update this list later. 8N0906018AL 8N0906018AQ 8N0906018AM 8N0906018AP 06A906032HS 06A906032ML 06A906032HJ 06A906032KP 06A906032EN 06A906032HF 06A906032HN 06A906032HK 06A906032HR 06A906032HP 06A906032LP 06A906032LQ 06A906032PL Were you using version 1.3.1.1 that allows you to bypass the flash precondition check with the confirmation dialog? If so, can you tell me which precondition it says doesn't pass? I was using version 1.3.0.1... "Precondition unknown" arised when I tried to flash the ecu on bench, same situation happens in the car if I pull the instrument panel fuse. I will report back after trying to flash on bench with version 1.3.1.1. How does the 4 minute flash compare to Galletto or KWP2000? It's like day and night, kwp2000 needs 20 minutes to flash the ecu. You can flash the ECU by only updating the flash chip sectors that don't match. Doing it that way takes about 1 minute instead of 4. I just haven't enabled that feature in the current release. I would love to have that feature, when do you think it will be available? |

Can you add support for XP? Most of my other OBD programs run on XP MCE so it would be nice to have this.
Will the option to read/save currect ECU file be available soon?

I got the same DPinst error on Win7 x64 system - hope you can fix it soon.
4-minute flashing time is still very fast compared to 25 minutes with ebay clone, but enabling the update by sector feature would be awesome.

I am hoping to release an update tonight that supports reading ECUs, and fixes the driver issue for 64 bit systems.
Supporting Windows XP is something that will take a few weeks of work. It would require me to rewrite one of my core systems. I will look into how feasible it is.

06A906032HP

06A906032LQ
06A906032PL
Did you test flashing all of these ECUs using the 29F800BB memory layout file, or do you just believe they should work? Also some of these ECU numbers are for Volkswagen's, does that mean I can assume the flashing software is working for VWs too? I was using version 1.3.0.1... "Precondition unknown" arised when I tried to flash the ecu on bench, same situation happens in the car if I pull the instrument panel fuse. I will report back after trying to flash on bench with version 1.3.1.1.
Does the issue with flashing preconditions only occur when flashing on the bench or with the instrument cluster fuse pulled? Does it report that all of the preconditions are met when flashing in the car? It's like day and night, kwp2000 needs 20 minutes to flash the ecu.
Glad to hear it is working well.  As for the 1 minute ECU flash which updates only memory sectors that are different, I am hoping to release that feature in the future with a few other advanced features. And for that release I am planning on releasing my own USB OBDII cable. |

Looks like the FTDI drivers aren't installed. Check the latest release, and be sure to install attached 2.06.00 FTDI D2XX drivers.

Sounds fair enough, thanks. |
