Can anyone help out a newby with ECU logging/hacking?

Are you writing to the ecu with ose flash tool?
If so just open the .bin and write. No xdf needed. That's for TunerPro.

Yeah, Using OSE.
So just Write CAL the Enhanced .Bin i just downloaded from that ZIP?

Sorry, Im just lost.

Write the bin I made for you with flash tool. Open it from flash tool. Make sure it's an unmolested one.

Any more mods or you want to look at this tune use the enhanced xdf with tuner pro.
Previously you were using another xdf which probably not compatible as enhanced is modified code.

It's easy to get confused don't worry. One day soon it will just all click and be easy.

Oh OK. Give me a sec, I'll try you're bin again.
I'll open ose. Select write cal?
Choose the re-downloaded ,bin you wrote.
And send it over.

I've never flashed these late model ecu but I'm thinking you'll need to do whole bin. Not cal.
This is not factory code so im thinking that's the problem with the no start.

Right. I get ya.
Was just a bit worried about doing the write bin as when you click it, It comes up with warnings saying not to do this for changes. And so on.

But i get what you're saying, It needs a Write BIn as it needs to change more than just the Write CAL can do.

Write BIN takes a little longer. Ill do that now.
Is it ok that it's not yet cloned? Or should not matter?

Also, Should i change the CRC Checksum to the same as the one on the first BIN i pulled off the new PCM(before doing anything)

Old Checksum is BCD9
Checksum in new BIN is BC5A
Or should be left as is?

[Dylan]

Leave the checksum as it was. Your call on doing a clone first could be best practice but since it's the spare anyway?
That's calculated by the xdf to suit the changes to that calibration every time there's a change.

Ok. Yeah it's the spare.
I think ill give it a go, But first how do i make sure its unmolested?

Oh wait, Just reading it sais NEVER write this bin if you need to clone.
SO maybe its a good idea if i clone first.........hmm

Downloaded from here as I uploaded it. Not opened and saved in tuner pro with wrong xdf etc.
Just as I had it.

[Dylan]

You've already written a new cal to it and maybe corrupted the bin anyway so probably useless?

Oh ok. Yeah thats all good.

I think i might clone first, As reading it said to NEVER write this BIN if you want to clone.
But it also sais if not cloned, At least do multiple get bin commands...Which i did 6.

I just didn't want to clone, As some features of the new spare PCM seem better than my old one. So i wanted to keep most of the new PCM data intact and just mess with the performance stuff...
