I know you have a lot going on, but I'm happy to help any way I can, even if I need to setup a box that you can RDC into  I have the single thread method working for the connection and communication protocols now. I need to clean it up and do more testing before I release it though. So an update won't be available until next week. I also managed to find the KWP2000 code that activates the other method for reading flash memory. This method allows reading ECUs that have had the UploadFromECU service disabled, which is the standard method for reading ECUs. I will look into this more over the next couple of weeks. |

No rush on sending me donations. Because deep down I am evil, and ultimately I will be releasing premium features which won't be free.
My goal is to release free software that can do anything that any other cheap tool can do, and only charge for features that only my software is capable of doing.
I am hoping that 90% of the software I write will be free, and only the extra 10% fancy stuff will cost anything.

Sounds like a good plan. Im really looking forward to the tuner program, as right now tunerpro and winlos are not exactly the nicest to use! |

Why not start making money now? Isn't that the way evil capitalism works?  I would like highspeed datalogging software without fancy gauges nor realtime ploting. Just plain text output at more than 3 samples per second will do me good. You can charge us for updates when you add all the features. |

Once the flashing software is a better more stable, I am planning to either work on data logging or checksum updating. I already have systems for doing both, BUT, they were written specifically for my 2001.5 Audi S4. So before I can really release them, I need to do a bunch of work to make them work on other cars.
Also, I am still trying to source a VAG OBDII cable which is guaranteed to use a FT232R chip. Most cables seem to use the FT232B chip, and for some of the extra features I am hoping to sell I will need an FT232R chip. I could produce my own cable, but that would easily triple the cost of the cable.

I just posted an update to hopefully fix all remaining connection issues. The latest version is 1.4.1.0.
Jason, please let me know if this solves the connection problem with your VAG-COM cable.

No whammy  I did several attempts with no success, and I attached that log "NefMotoECUFlasherLog-1.4.1.0 - vag-test.txt" I also did an ebay cable test after key off/close app/swap cables/key on, which is attached "NefMotoECUFlasherLog-1.4.1.0 - ebay cable.txt" in case it's any use comparing against the vag-com test. One thing I noticed is that you can't close the app after the vag-com dumb mode error message and you have to terminate the process. Thanks for working to resolve this |

I bought the ES#6928 cable from ECS Tuning. It has the FT232R chip in it. I don't know if they can guarantee that it will always have that chip, but maybe you could ask them.

Cool, thanks for letting me know. $32 isn't cheap enough in my opinion though, but maybe I can find out who their supplier is. |

I have a fix for the program not able to be closed if anything goes wrong when trying to setup the FTDI device when connecting. I found that one this morning myself as well. I will try to post a small update to solve that problem tonight. Thanks for posting the logs. eBay cable seems to work great. Logs show that the VAG-COM cable is connecting better now (Hurray!), but it is not transmitting messages properly sometimes. Looking through all of the different logs you have sent, it always seems that the AccessTimingParameters message seems to get corrupted. Strange that this only occurs with your VAG-COM cable. I will contact Ross-Tech and see if they have any insite. |

I just posted a new installer for version 1.4.1.1.
This version fixes the problem that Jason reported, where if the cable is running in intelligent mode, you can no longer close the program.
There are other changes under the hood to work toward a future release supporting ECU reading that bypasses the normal methods blocked by some tuners.
Please uninstall the old version before installing the new one.
