ECU Diag USB Cable
Posted: Wed Oct 26, 2005 4:39 am
This thread will introduce the new "smart" cable developed by kdxboy and 02Cannibal. The cable will use use the new Software being created by several key members of this website; 02Cannibal deserves a ton of credit, and has set up a slick new website to support the users of this cable. Software tweaks are ongoing, and badvox is on the case regularly. The website details will be announced soon.
A nice mold for the cable-potting is being contributed by X440andover.
The software will be offered for free, and can be easily downloaded from the new site. Only the hardware will actually be sold.
The first batch of cables will be finished soon. The price of these first nine cables is $129, with free shipping for the first nine buyers (beta testers!). We prefer these initial cables go to experienced D&M users who can make valid comparisons between the two setups, and maybe post some feedback here and to the new website forum. The software will be periodically updated. Kdxboy is building some versatility into this cable to accomodate future software features.
About 5 of the first 9 are already spoken for, but the following members had expressed some interest to get one of these:
dmac10
Derno24
jwheat
smitty911
cdaleman440
guthrie08
did I miss somebody?
If any of you mentioned here want one, we have about 4 more available. If you want one, just confirm directly to my email pacrimdm@msn.com
When they are ready to ship, I will send a paypal invoice, You don't need to prepay, that's just your option. After the initial test batch, the price will remain at $129, plus added shipping.
The updated USB convenience will be great, with the added bonus of the smart-cable that saves your settings profile INSIDE the cable.
As for the software, others can speak to that, but the main benefits are universal talking to multiple ECU's, Map editing, and no worries about expiration.
Other features will follow, mainly hardware-related to utilize the MC1000 features of LED Lights, Map Switching, and On-The Fly Tuning.
