Connecting to vcds will be the first thing I do!
I should have just started with st10ripper lol
Where you been bro?!!

The only cables I have are blue kkl, another cable I purchased from a member in the classifieds( just a higher quality blue kkl, I believe) and galletto.
I can definitely check out the cable you mentioned.
Having the remote feature is badass!

Another program I’ll have to get familiar with is mpps.

Here’s the deal.
Just looked over my bench harness to make sure it wired up correctly. And it is.

The drive train is out of the car so I plugged the ecu body harness wires ,and connected the ecu and tried vcds.

And it does boot up and can  check for fault codes.

One thing that is weird is the lcd on gauge cluster says press clutch pedal to start engine.
What’s that about?

Where to go from here?

I’m thinking the cnf1  1k ohm resistor was not making good contact ?

I saw a v18 MPPS cable on Amazon for 54$
Can arrive tomorrow.
Saw another one on eBay I think it was v21 if I recall correctly.

Both of these will be okay ?

The j2534 what do you recommend, it seems that one is a bit more pricey.

Thanks for the help!

Got an error with st10 ripper

You are "very lucky" with this ECU.
As relative cheap solution you can use china KESS clone to r/w per OBD or read only in boot.
MPPS or Galletto2 will not work.
Original chip tuning tools from other brands will be expensive.
 
If the task is a one-off and consists of reworking the ECU to support manual transmission instead of automatic transmission without any configured patches in the original firmware, simply reflash it using the Odis service tool (or VAS-PC) to software 8E2910560C, and then change the ECU coding to 07717. To do this, you will need to buy a VAS5054A device

Yes, 06A 906 032 QF should work


ST10Ripper should work over K-Line on his ECU, it supports KWP2000 and I have done multiples ECUs with the same configurations :

Key−Word−Protokoll
Kd−Diagnose TP2.0/KWP2000
OBD−Diagnose ISO−Can (OBD on Can)
Flashprogrammierung TP2.0

he should at least be able to connect to the ECU, but it seems he can't even initialize a KWP2000 session


MPPS can also read the flash over TP2.0, it uses checksums to map the memory and create a readout (about 30 minutes). Agree using ODIS might be easier for him if he is only looking to convert it


Latency set to 2 and cable is powered by a FTDI chipset ? Are you able to connect to the ECU using NefMoto ? (Read id and DTCs for example)

Not officially listed, but you can select the 3.2 ME7.1.1 can-bus, they both run on TP2.0, same SA2, same memory scheme, same compression and encryption key. Both ST10 architecture. It can read it through the checksum service
