OK, got the cable in, downloaded/installed software, set COM1 Port. Just have a question on creating the profile to write to the car via a .man file:

Step 33 of instructions state to 'save profile as' FZG4.PFL & in Step 34 it shows an example where the File Name field highlighted in blue is 'CSEXPER\PFL\FZG2.PFL' My screen looks exactly like the example when I select 'Save Profile As'

Now am I supposed to select 'FZG4.PFL' from the pull down menu so that the File Name field now reads only 'FZG4.PFL' or am I supposed to just replace the FZG2.PFL from the existing string under File Name field so that the string now reads 'CSEXPER\PFL\FZG4.PFL?

A little confusing since the example screen shot does not show what the string under File Name looks like after saving as 'FZG4.PFL'

Just want to make for certain so I don't mess anything up...

[GenePoole]

No, save it as a new file (don't overwrite the old one or you'll lose that profile). It can be any name you want (as long as it ends with .PFL).

[1QuikWS6]

OK gotcha

So I could just type in 'CSEXPER\PFL\MJB9.PFL' in the File Name field and that would do the trick?

And am I correct in assuming that I would use (call up) this very same file that I have created, for each seperate coding session (i.e. no need to create this file on Monday and code digital speedo, then create an entirely new file with different name for a coding session done on Thursday)?

Thanx for the help BTW

[e90TiAg335i]

That's correct. Only have to create it once.

[xxxjecxxx]

Yes he is correct, name it anything you want. The screen shot does not go with the instructions because I had already created other profiles and just randomly picked 4 to make it easier for you guys, honestly you can name it ending in whatever number you want. and like stated above you only have to create the profile once.

[wpnx]

Damn, can't seem to get it to recognize that it's on in inpaload.

[xxxjecxxx]

where exactly are you having an issue? doesn't recognize the airbag test?

[xxxjecxxx]

you are welcome to use the updated files that other members posted but i have made some changes to the ediabas.ini file in the files I originally provided. you may want to try those.

[nood1es]

This question pertains to 1wqik's question a few replies up, If u saved or copied a file over that. Is there a way to revert it back?

[xxxjecxxx]

the ediabas.ini?

[1QuikWS6]

Did you create a backup of the original files 1st? If so, you should be able to go back thru and write the original files.

Yeah, I wouldn't use the letters 'FZG' at all in the new file you create just to be safe. My car actually has a FZG4.PFL file in the drop down menu so if I had used it I would have overwritten the existing files.

OP apparently used 'GZG*' for his file name - but the suggestion in step 33 led me to believe that 'FZG4' was OK to use. I realize now he was just using it as an example of something different and that name could be anything...

[wpnx]

Alright. Finally got it working, sort of, through VMWARE with WinXP. Every time I tried changing com ports it wouldn't work or would blue screen in VMWARE so I took fsf's suggestion and edited the obd.ini. Just created an obd.ini in c:\windows and used the settings but changed Com1 to Com3. Was able to connect.

Couple of questions though. On the initial test run where we save default profile and create a new one, when I exit ncs to load it up again, do I want to save the newly named profile I just created?

When I load NCS up again, I get the same error nood1es gets.

[E90PAT]

Finally got my damn my cable!

Now, to code.

[nood1es]

The profile name..I think I overwrited it..in ncs of step 33..maybe that's y I get the fsw faulty. Hmm. Let me check.

You guys are lucky!

E92PAT, when did you order yours? I order mine on 11/25 and tracking says it just left Hong Kong on the 8th...

[wpnx]

I'm getting a error during reading coding data, ERROR_ECU_INCORRECT_RESPONSE_ID. VIN is faulty.

[wpnx]

Alright the error went away but my FSW PSW file looks nothing like the example. No bc_digital listed either.

[ryanful]

Cable ordered 11/24 (paid $85)

Arrived in Vancouver (Canada) today.

let the games begin.......

do you have any values at all? I don't remember off the top of my head but remember that the bc_digital is only in one module, i think CAS. you have to make sure to READ the ecu first.. that will create a TRC file (a trace file) then you edit that trace file and save it with the .MAN extension.. hope that helps.

[wpnx]

I think for my car, the bc_digital might be in the Kombi module. Since I already did the CAS module, I managed to code the window up with keyfob.

Everyone once in a while it would say connection interrupted. Then I just try again and it works. Hopefully I don't run into problems.

did you tried setting the latency of your com port to 1? I think someone explained why this is necessary a couple of pages back.
