You can download ecuflash which is free that is how you read your stock map from your ecu then you can save it. So instead of this being a big deal BUY THE DAMN CABLE PERIOD! somebody lock this thread lol get it!

 

how do i archive my stock rom do i need anything besides the cable or do i just plug the tactrix cable to the laptop and then into the car and then what? sry if this sounds very stupid but im not sure how you get the map onto the laptop and then back in the car.

 

sry didnt see the second page

 

can i use the tactrix cable with any laptop?

 

I don't know if your playing dumb to try and raise your post count by posting countless stupid questions and keep on bumping them. Or are you really that narrowminded. Navigate yourself to the ecuflash forum and read all there is to read. All of your stupid questions are starting to annoy me!

 

Yes I recommend you get one especially for a tuned Evo. Its a great peace and most of the programs are free with the exception of Evoscan($25) It has saved me a ton with logging and checking and clearing OBD codes. It should be an evo owners must have.

 

ok i just found out that my tuner scramble's the ecu after he tunes it so i dont think i can use the tactrix cable. so i guess the only way to get the stock map back is to go back to the tune and have him flash me back to stock right?

 

or go to someone who does not do that...

 

You can tell him not to, or you can probably use an ECU unlocker. Tuners that lock ECU's are ****ing gay, period.

 

i got my own cable now...and have ECU flash on my laptop. this is the bs i am talking about. ecuflash does not "recognize" the ROM. it is either scrambled...or his laptop has a key code on it. it will not read the ECU. or as i see it.


LOCKED!!!!!

anyone know how to get past this?

 

so if i already got tuned and needed to go back to stock for smog, or what not... how do i get a stock tune??

 

You can download stock ROMs off of Aktive Matrix. You just need to register with the site and then you can enjoy all the freebies.

hmm i didnt know about that, but i guess you could still just borrow someones as a template and copy the cells correct. if the damn thing isnt locked, which is bull ****. thank god mine isnt, ive heard ecuflash does that alot and ide be so pissed if mine was. its my car, if u think ur gonna lock my ecu ide ****in put the smack down on Al

 

you have a dynoflash tune from you know who?? lol...it is locked.

 

no im pretty sure its not. ive had someone read it before. wouldnt that mean that its not locked?
