HOWTO: Log from your ECU for less than £30

[Confused]

I've just ordered one, will give it a try with EvoScan (see if it detects it) then modify it accordingly - might even then sell pre-modified ones via https://www.adaptiveengineering.co.uk in case anyone can't solder

Good shout that! If I hadn't already bought the soldering iron and plug, I'd buy one.....I may still do after I mess mine up lol

[Confused]

Well, I'll get some modified and up for sale - if not for you, for the next person!

Unfortunately the one I got delivered from that last eBay listing has a CH340 chip, which isn't an FTDI chip, so won't work with EvoScan.

I've ordered another, from another seller, which states it's got a FTDI chipset, so hopefully that'll arrive in a few days.

Hi guys I've sorted the cable out and the car is going into flashy mode when plugged in, but evoscan doesn't seem to but connectting to the ECU. Any ideas?

I did a reboot and it is working now.

Awesome! Nice work!

The second cable I ordered, which specifically said FTDI in the title, was also a CH340G chipset! My hunt continues!

Looks like these guys might be on it for the Forester
