I have used my old PC just fine with ecuflash but now that I bought an apple I downloaded the version that says it will work with OSX but it seems to error out every time that I try to connect to the car. Any ideas?

 

what version of ecuflash are you running? and osx? 10.5.?.?

 

I have 1.38 and it works just fine. Remember your XML's are located inside the ECU flash executable package.

 

I am using OSX 10.5.7 and ecuflash 1.38

every time I connect to the car all I get is an error. I can not download my stock map and I can not upload a new map.

 

ok i have the same version. do you have the car on while you are trying to download your map?

 

yeah I turn the key to on but do not start it just like when I was using it using my old PC.

 

I have to run Parallels Desktop and XP for it to work on my MBP

 

I run XP with VMware Fusion on my Macbook Pro OSX 10.5.7 solely for the purpose of having access to my Evo's ECU. Only reason I have the XP.

It's great because I can run all versions of Evoscan/Ecuflash, and via "Spaces" jump back and forth between them and Safari for Email/internet access. Seems to run faster, more stable than on a PC machine too.

 

You can always dual boot with bootcamp also.

 

I had VMWare Fusion. I think Parallels is better.
