hello everyone, ive been recently tweaking my 2004 volvo s60r, im not sure exactly what version of me7 it runs, but its very similar to audi's using the 800BB chip, my question is i saw people working on adding some sort of launch control, seems volvo had to change alot with their files, im not asking anyone to do it for me, but maybe throw me a bone? i saw people patching some sort of code in using IDA pro? is this even possible considering the differences?

Find tsrldyn in memory, load the file to IDA, push "X" (cross reference), you will see where it is accessed.
The first hit will be the place to add a call to your custom routine.

In that routine just set tsrldyn to 0 based on some parameters. You will also need to zero FTOMN.
The code that is floating around on this forum is not the only way or the best way to do things, but it is a start.

There's no porting of the code, you just need to sub in the correct variable addresses and insert it at the right spot.
Probably a good idea to have knowledge of programming before you attempt this.

Or you can pay someone to do it.
As for loading the binary into IDA, just search, all the info has been posted on this forum.

IDA is not a magic tool or anything though.

well thanks for the help, i have been playing around with it some, i could probably pay someone to do it, but will probably only use it as a last resort, no fun if you cant do it yourself Smiley, or try Undecided, ive correctly loaded the binary into ida pro now, had to split it up, and load two segments, still having some trouble finding tsrldyn, but im going to keep cracking at it

edit: atleast if i mess it up and brick it, it can be easily revived

Yes, as long as you can rewrite in boot mode or pull the chip, you're usually safe.

Btw, maybe this will help you. Some constant addresses you can reference (TSMX, DUBZS):

I haven't touched the Volvo ME7, but I'd imagine something as basic as calculating dwell time should be the same on all ME7...
Good luck.

It should not be taking you so much time.
Even without the plugin, just press ctrl+u then p.

Takes about 10 minutes per file this way.
Also, IDA has binary search. You can see some of the bytes on my screenshot, try searching for their combinations.
Obviously without addresses, as those are going to be different.

hmm maybe i still have something loaded wrong, even when searching for similar byte's nothing ever comes up in regular text like
TSMX, DUBZS, i have a feeling im getting warmer though

You will never find any text...
TSMX etc was defined by me manually.

thats why i was getting confused :-P, ill start fiddling through it soon, do you think it would be easier to dis-assemble a file with the code already added to get used to it?, i really appreciate the help

edit : im gonna try a new method tonight, im pretty good at figuring things out, i really want to
