A little bump on this, It seems theres conflicting info on 1.3 vs 2.0 and what works but I cant get my 2.0 to log though I can flash with it.

Do I need to find my old 1.3 (I think I gave it to a friend...) or should the 2.0 work?

Edit: Doing a little looking, seems the 1.3u with ACD mod (pin 1 and pin 15 linked) is necessary. Ok, on order...

I had the same experience. Hamish (@EvoScan) told me that I had to use the 1.3U cable and drivers to log ACD successfully. I have not tried it because I found could not flash at all with the 1.3. Plus, changing the drivers (Win 10 laptop) back and forth for the different cables every time was not viable. Tactrix weren't much help unfortunately. The reason I went to the OP 2.0 was because I want to log to SD. Being able to flash ACD but not log didn't work for me either.

Works perfectly. Thanks for the write up.

I do have a question though. Has anyone been able to use the ACD actuators in Evoscan using this mod and an Open Port 2.0 cable?

Out of curiosity did you use a 2.0 cable to flash the ACD? I have a Evo 9 and planning to do this as my next project but still researching...especially the stuff I need to tap into the wire harness

Yes.

I used the following parts:

EVO 8/2G DSM Large ECU Connector
Part Number: ECUPINS8LG
URL: https://www.spoolinup.com/ECU-_p_72.html


18 AWG wire:
Amazon Amazon


Male 2.5mm Plug:
Amazon Amazon


For the 2.5mm plug, you want to attach and solder the wire to the shorter terminal.
