PC datalogger for VR-4 - it works!

[Louis]

Can someone post a phoy of the ecoscan made cable?, just wondering if I can adapt my VAG cable, or if I need a laptop with two comm ports!!!. I had a look on the limitless site, but couldn't see which was the correct cable?. ta

AH!, ta for that, looks to me like its a link wire from the OBD11 (duh!) to a conector for the AYC ECU? so you could activate through the main ecu but also the link to the AYC ecu?.
I may try adapting my VAG one?

On mine the link is about 3 inches long and goes to the connector immediately next to the OBDII port.

i meant what pin it was linked to in the OBD block if that's where it is attached. naughtika wasn't keen to open his one up to have a look incase he damaged it.

you may be getting wrong end of the stick here as i was lead to believe that the extra connector linked to the big 16 pin connector was only ever used if you wanted to flash your ECU which cannot be done at this time on a mitsubishi legnum/galant. So for a mitsubishi is useless, but i believe the same cable can be used for looking at subaru's ECU which can have the ECU reflashed.

This is why I asked Hamish and he said that this connector was required for comms with the AYC/ABS or he may have meant that only there latest cable will do this.

I though he had said it wasn't implemented yet on a VR4

What is the latest version of evoscan at the moment. last i heard it was 2.5 but i have cleared out most of my emails and deleted the limiless ones.

i can't remeber where to download from.

can anyone point me to the correct link. as i don't beleive you can download it from the website you have to do it from an emailed link.

2.6 beta 8 is latest downloadable version. There's a link on the evolutionm forum:http://forums.evolutionm.net/ecuflas...en-review.html

As it's a beta, follow evo4mad's advice just below the download link and use a copy your version 2.5 folder to install it to.

Does anyone know how I can monitor Knock Count in EvoScan? I can't find it as an option. I can only see Knock Voltage and Knock Sum, which I believe is a calculation based on a number of things.

[Nick Mann]

Knock sum is what you want. The raw data is meaningless AFAIK. Knock sum shows the "count" that the ecu takes action over. Below 5 is splendid, over 10 is worrying.

Sorry if I missed it being posted on this thread but I can confirm that the disconnection of pin 9 from the OBDII port allows access to both AYC and ABS ecus from a Limitless 1.3U cable. I will be adding an article soon with the instructions on bleeding the AYC using the actuator control from Evoscan.

[c0xxy]

does this work with the v6-24, same cable requirements etc? and does anyone know if the ecu is flashable on one?
cheers

Will this also work with a modified VAG-COM KKL cable? Hoping to be able to do a bleed with the cable i've got, rather than purchasing one of the evoscan ones... - Nevermind, I'll be buying a 1.3U cable asap
