First off I want to say thank you to everyone who is doing all this hard work. I appreciate it.

I have been looking around these forums for a bit now and am wondering if you can tell me/point me to somewhere that will show what programs I will need to be able to successfully read/edit/write to the ecu. I have seen so many different things and am confused. Also i understand that you need a .xdf file for the different ECU versions? I have an 01.5 TIP s4 with the AA box. I want to disable the SAI system in it. What can I do to do that? If you guys can help me get started I would love to throw that info up on this site once i figure it out. I just need to know how to do everything safely. Thanks guys and I do appologize in advance if I am just not seeing what I need to see. Thanks and i want to help contribute to this as much as possible... especially since there don't seem to be any .bins or .xdfs for the AA box.

Forgot to add that I do have a usb cable with the FTDI FT232BL chip in it. It works with UNIsettings and vag-com.

KWP2000Plus and Galletto both require special cables.

My flashing software should work with any FTDI USB cable.

Hopefully I can release it in a couple weeks.

Free software to flash your ECU should be done in the next week; fingers crossed.

After that I will be working on a free data logger.

After that, probably release a free basic map editor.

I'm giddy as a schoolgirl at the prospect of some datalogging software because those bastards at APR refuse to sell me a registration file for ECUx. Sad

Sent you a PM on AZ a while back about this, but I'd love to do anything I can to help you get that out as soon as you can, beta-testing and bug reporting wise, if you want.  Also willing to kick in a few bucks for the cause and I'm sure I'm not alone on that one based on the complete lack of a worthwhile datalogging option for the B5 S4.  Donations always seem to work to keep the Android phone devs motivated.
