The Tractrix cable has been pushed back again for the X! The good news is that I think they're fairly close to getting the whole ECU flash thing together. I saw a quick pic of an Evo X timing map. So apparently they are making good progress.

I seen the openport 2.0 got pushed again. Can't wait to see the cable.
Datalogging to a micro sd card would be sweet. Want to see how it
works.

Me too, I didn't even hear about that feature yet. I just want tuning options to become available. Even at this point in time, I'm sure Travis could help set me up with a base tune. The factory tunes on the X are hideous from what I understand. And Ecutek is a ripoff.

I would be curious to see how that works - because there isn't a built in logger program into the cable....You would still need the laptop to run evoscan or whatever logger will work on the X. So not sure of the point?

Yes all the current options for the X are expensive - kinda like the earlier evo's prior to ecuflash and evoscan. Nice thing is its being developed and that cable is about the only thing keeping it from getting finished. Once developers get there hands on that cable and start disassembling it will have plenty of great features im sure like the current evo.

I would be more than happy to help you out when the time comes.....

I put it up there on Monday just to see what would happen.
  • Well I got 7 phone calls between Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
  • Then got 9 emails either for price, availability, or scheduling a test drive.
  • Appeared in the search results like 800 times


I took it off now because I don't want to actually sell it, but now that I see when it is time I should have no problem at all...and for any of you guys I would say the time is now if you want to upgrade to a X

Funny you said that travis I said the same thing in the ecuflash forum. They seem
to think it will have some sort of front end where you determine what you want
to log then plug in and it will record those things checked off onto the micro sd
card.
