patiently waiting for the 0011 patch.

 

What about those who dont even have a fog light switch??

An external switch will be the best overall method to use for everyone!

 

God, i'm so glad i got a 2003 VIII

Tephra, awesome work as always!!! I'll donate as soon as i get to test it!

 

An external switch wouldn't be the best or easiest solution. IMO, the best and easiest would be something in common between all cars, such as using the throttle and clutch for example or some other input that is common across all ROMs.

I hate to do it, but I have to second evoryder. I downloaded the v4 ROM and moved all my maps over, but immediately after I flashed it there was a constant whine similar to the ICS but louder. (Maybe ICS and BCS both?) Anyway, I went for broke and even tried to start the car but it didn't fire up straight away so I quit. I put my old ROM (tephra v2) back and all is good again. I don't know what else to add to help diagnose what went wrong. I suppose I could have forgotten to copy something from the old ROM, so I will double check.

 

How about using that damn rear wiper motor switch? I hate that thing and would like to get rid of it anyway.

OT: does anyone have any part # for a plug of some sort for the rear wiper hole in the window?

 

I <3 the rear wiper.

back on topic, i am sure tephra will think up something for us IX guys.

 

Ugh, I have an 05

Tephra, you ROCK! This is a feature I would love to have. Any chance you can schedule some time to figure out a way for us non ICS guys to use the map-switching feature? Maybe using the window buttons or something? Mirror buttons?

 

guys the reason Tephra uses the IC Sprayer button is because it is directly wired to the ECU inputs,
window/wiper or ACD switches wont work without a bit of rewiring of that switch to the ECU and even at that Id say trying to find an unused input in the ECU code is no easy task,

 

It wont start...the features don't work either. The intercooler spray light just stays on. Waiting for a response from Teph.

 

yep looks like the code is screwed - ill have a proper look in a couple of hours

 

How long does the change of map take after the button is pressed for the specified time? Could this alternate map be used as a failsafe: when the aquamist failsafe is activated it is wired to the ICS switch so the map would switch to a safe map for the non-meth boost levels. The time of holding the ICS button would have to be set close to zero so it would be almost instantaneous depending on how long it takes for the ecu to actually switch the maps. This could also be used in the case where you can have a totally non-meth map and then the flip of a switch, meth is active, boost is raised, and maps are changed accordingly. That would be a sick setup for the stock ECU.

 

pretty much instant.

Yes that was something I was talking to one of the other guys about.

V5 or V6 will also bring in multiple boost control, and for the meth users out there (druggies?? :P) we are looking at wiring in some failsafe stuff, not sure how/what yet thou !!!

anyways let me get this problem fixed and a few more ROMID's up and then we can talk about V5 and beyond!

 

Sounds good, if you want to get a 96420008 ROM up, I would be more than happy to test it out for everyone.

What you are doing is great for the community and is really appreciated. The stock ECU keeps getting better and better.

 

AHHH... OOPS :P hahahaha

ok 94170008 is based on the SH7052 chip, which has 12K of RAM, not 32K like the 7055 (Evo9). I had incorrectly assumed that I could use some address space that didn't exist

Let me fix it up and I will post up a new ROM shortly! hehehe - Got the SH7052 Manual now!
