  1. Other members may have had different results, but what worked for me was using the Tactrix drivers that came with ECUFlash. The FTDI drivers gave me lots of issues with varying version of ECUFlash. But with the Tactrix drivers, I can use any version of ECUFlash, including the newest releases. Another basic item: the engine cannot be running, and the ignition must be set to the ON position. Sorry if this is way beneath what you've tried, but I dunno what you've done thus far. Oh, you might try to do a fresh restart on the PC and then just open ECUFlash. I found that sometimes if I went from using RR to using ECUFlash, RomRaider would still have the interface in use, making ECUFlash unable to open the interface.
  2. Possibly a basic question, but, did you make sure the test connectors are connected?

  4. Wow, great walk through! I have been waiting a while for someone to post this exact thing, since my seat heater is shot. But now that it's posted...I'm kind of...disappointed. Because there's no way in hell I'm going to attempt this now. So, in short: thank you for helping me not destroy my seat by trying this.
  5. That might be good, depending on how many people would really be having this issue. I was very hesitant to post about the charger, just for how far-fetched it sounds. I'm not a computer newb - I do computer programming and repair for a living - and I can't justify why it would be doing this. All the current should be well regulated by the time the USB interfaces come into the equation. *shrug* I tested it probably 60+ times, over the course of this last weekend, though, so I'm 100% sure the issue has been identified correctly. Got the newest version of ecuflash working last night, as well. Maybe I shouldn't have done this, though. Now I can see the massive amounts of knock I have. Ignorance was bliss.
  6. Woot, my ebay cable finally came in! After hours and hours of trying to get the cable to work, cursing qikslvr and his family, I FINALLY got it to work. My biggest problem was, I could get RR to begin logging data from the ECU, but as soon as I turned the car on, I would get "invalid header" errors, followed by "Could not send ECU init". Took me HOURS to figure out what was wrong. I have a very old laptop...so naturally, the battery is shot, and I was using a power inverter to charge it while I worked in my car. That's what was killing me. Every time I turned the car on, the inverter would get more amperage/voltage, and for some odd reason that must have been disrupting communication with the ECU. After just letting the laptop use its handicapped battery, I've pulled several good logs, with no issue, whatsoever. As for my setup: $9 Ebay cable The Tactrix cable drivers that come with ecuflash 4800 BAUD settings 3000ms min. timeout for serial send/receive Romraider V0.5.1b And a laptop that IS NOT plugged into a power inverter Thanks for the writeup qikslvr - very helpful.
  7. That's my story...I order it exactly 2 months ago to today's date. I was NEVER able to get a hold of anyone, or get a response from emails. The only upside to Autonostic's silence is that PayPal pretty quickly sides with you. I just ordered one of the Ebay cables for a couple bucks cheaper than the Autonostics one...hopefully that one actually shows up so I can start logging soon.
  8. SpecB, hopefully you have better luck than I did, but I couldn't get them to respond to me in any way (email, online contact form, phone - they didn't even respond to the PayPal claim to defend themselves). Lepich, thanks for posting that...probably wouldn't have found that one myself.
  9. Ordered my Autonostics cable on 11-16-08. Never received it. They didn't answer 3 emails, and their phone number doesn't work. I had to open a claim with PayPal (got my refund, w00t!). It doesn't look like there are any for sale on Ebay, either. Anyone know another source for the Autonostics cable?
