I'll explain my situation and then ask a simple question.

I have a 1.3 cable that does not work with the current ECUFlash version (1.41). No matter what I've tried the new ECUFlash is unable to communicate with my cable. So I use ECUFlash version 1.37 as this version does work with my cable. However, I like the layout of the 1.41 version so I have that installed on my PC while 1.37 is what I have on my laptop so I can flash the car.

My question is this: can I do modifications using my PC then transfer that .bin file over to my laptop and flash it into the car with a previous version of ECUFlash and get all the changes I made on the PC even if certain tables that are exposed in 1.41 aren't in 1.37? Thanks!

Yes, you should definitely be able to edit with one version and flash with another.

But you should also consider contacting Colby (Tactrix) about the cable not working, assuming you bought it from him.

 

if its a tactrix cable (as opposed to an evoscan cable) you can talk to Colby and he will tell you how to update the firmware on the cable.

that should get it to work better with the new versions.

sales@tactrix.com I think...

 

I have not seen 1.41, what is new and of benefit for a 8 or 9 car?

 

it will mainly be definitions...

mrfred did a lot of work updating the IX defs so we have a uniform setup.

not sure how the 7/8 defs went...

 

Yeah my cable is a EvoScan cable.

If it doesn't matter what version you use I should be ok, correct?

 

ok if its an evoscan cable you need to contact Hamish with your problem. Sometimes he will send u a new cable
