And I'm sure many others feel the same way. Everyone should have the option to tune their own cars for a reasonable amount of money if they choose to put enough work into it. Hardware such as KWP2000 cables are obviously something you'll have to buy but are not going to break the bank. So far I have found a slew of programs for various VAG cars, some I was able to find for free, others I paid for. I know tuning isn't for everyone, and while many people 'want' to tune themselves, many shouldn't unless they're really willing to learn an in depth process. I would like to know if anyone else here has been able to gather any information for our ECU's.
#Evom save rom as hex how to
I've been crawling the web to get as much information as possible as to how to tune these 'pesky' ECU's and finding the right tools takes a lot of time (and sometimes money). Not to say there isn't people out there for the Japanese that don't continue to develop to make money off of it because there is, but in the end there are enough tools (hardware and software) available for you to tune your car yourself on a very acceptable budget. Of course the sad reality is that in the European automotive world, many things are kept a secret due to greedy tuners and business while other enthusiasts of many Japanese cars get to enjoy the ability to do what we want to do for many years now thanks to many smart people that work together to just make it work. So since I'm now the owner of an S4, and am now very interested in keeping everything as stock as possible as far as engine controls goes, I've gotten back into researching information on what tools are needed to gain access to the ECU program/flash and decoding the information in it to modify the tune and send it back to the ECU. I would like to remind people just because you have the knowledge to change things inside an ECU doesn't mean you should! It's not here to save you $1000 so you can get some novice tuner to possibly blow up your car. The whole purpose of this thread is to get people started with learning how to be able to tune their ME7 ECU. If and when I decide to release my tunes I will do so. This is not something that I offer to the public. Truth be told I don't have the time nor is it worth it to maintain a thread like this, because information becomes very scattered.Īlso I would like to ask that people stop PM'ing me about getting them tunes, or tuning their cars for them. While this thread was good to gather some info and get the ball rolling, most if not all the current and new information is now located on the NefMoto forum and the S4 Wiki. I feel I need to amend this thread with a final few points.
