For OBD, you need to know the extended PID's and their conversions...  which isn't something that's available without spending a ton of money (read: paying ransom to the OEM for it) or buying a tool with those capabilities and then reverse engineering it with a logic analyzer.

...or disassembly of the ECU binary?

The Datalogger will be also protected with CNG and Vista or later?
Will that logger be tied to VAG specific MWB or also for common OBD values?

Datalogger won't support XP until I can replace CNG with something else. Probably will do this after the first quick/dirty release of the datalogger.

Datalogger will be based on logging RAM variables the same way ECUx worked. Later versions will support logging PIDs, but the B5 S4 ECU doesn't have any PIDs defined internally, so it won't be any use for that car.

while still lacking of Win7 I now managed to get it run under virtualbox (with USB2.0 VM VirtualBox Extension Pack) and an Win7_IE8 Test-Image provided freely by MS for 30 day testing (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/en/details.aspx?familyid=21eabb90-958f-4b64-b5f1-73d0a413c8ef&displaylang=en).

Not so easy and one thing was surprising me: it does matter in which particular USB Slot I put the FTDI Cable, so that it will be properly recognized by windows (and flasher).

Is that due to virtualisation or did you see that also in other scenarios?

If you've managed to get a working solution on a pre Vista machine then nice work!

I have seen some odd behaviour of the FTDI driver on various unrelated projects. One of them is the requirement to swap USB ports to auto detect the device. This only happens on one xp machine.

I am still not convinced with virtualbox & nefmoto flasher is a really and reliable working solution... Grin

We need NefMoto on XP!!!!!!!!    hahahahahah 

All this back and forth with sketchy usb's and ftdi issues.... really isn't something you want going haywire while in the middle of a tune/write to the eeprom.

Would make for a very bad day for anyone.

I'm currently attempting to finish up work on the first release of the data logger. I haven't forgotten about supporting Windows XP. Currently no estimated time when support will be added. Will try to give an estimate once the data logger is out.

Thank you so much!
