@ professor : untill now, the .com site of ebay always worked for me (i'm not really into advertising
). Type-in mpps or galletto @ the search-input, and you
will get a few sellers. Check-out their feedback a bit and all will be fine.
Just got 2 new mpps-V12 dongles in, and they both work a treat. It's the black coloured obd2 plug/cable with integrated electronics.
Sellers who accept paypal are usually loyal enough to send stuff, and sometimes deal with warranty-claims. Untill now, i had no issues with any of these.
I only lately blew my older style V3 MPPS, updated to V12 mcu while plugging-in a charger onto my laptop, that was fed by cigarette-lighter-powersocket, while
the laptop still had connection with the ecu and ignition was switched-on. Never do this kinda thing
Still figureing out what causes the spike in voltage over
USB or via OBD-port (i was just done with reading a EDC15P-ecu, and the battery of the laptop was nearly empty).
@k0mpresd : Thats one fine piece of equipment. I think that this price-range can give the real professional a broader range of professional/original equipment to choose
out of. Like The new Galletto, CMD, Piasini suite, and others. I don't think, one can really go very wrong with such tools unless there is NO manuf. support backing-up
the product. Clone's are tools for people who 'know' what they do, and don't mind the risk they are taking with a tool that has no support and might a be outdated
for some specific ecu's.
@Takijs : Your post can be interpretted in several ways. Generally people come over @ Nefmoto, seeking a cheap way to flash their car and info about tunes. Therefore
my comment.
It would be nice to know what specific edc16u31 this is. Can you pass us some numbers ? I'm sure your original vag-com lead can tell us that.
This might help a bit. My point of view stays the same. Don't fiddle with interfaces that aren't designed in the first place for flashing ecu's. The support is the issue
on these. Plus the fact that you might also get a bad-flash just because of trying a very alternative way/equipment/combination to 'upgrade' or 'read' the software.
A.K.A. bricking your ecu. Untill now, i have zero bricked ecu's. And this is due to heavily searching the net/forums for info to do it right in 1 hit. It costs alot of time,
and it pay's off afterwards.
"You say in specific for my ECU Galletto is shit? Why is this? Just for my understanding..." -> Find forums which deal with dieselflashing v.a.g. cars. Look-up threads
which handle the EDC16U31. See if they all use a Galletto, and when one does, if he/she succeeded or failed. Or even worse, bricked their ecu when writing. Bootmode-
recovery ain't a option for this ecu. Thats BDM which can save your behind only, or a newer interface, like the mpps or other more expensive ones.
Cheers,
PvL
