Long time member, first time poster. I've got a 2.4L LE5 + supercharger swapped into my 240sx running an E67. Would be happy to test the software and also possibly build an XDF for the Ecotec E67. Have a few spare ECMs and also I have a couple T42s (4T45E) and an E37 (08 Cobalt Sport 2.4L ECM). I bought one of the OBDX Pro VT units that became available a couple months ago. What interfaces are currently supported by this software?

Got a couple E37's here with corrupted serial numbers and VIN's. Have a mongoose J2534. Any way to fix these SN's on these?

Probably?? I believe the cou/flash is very similar or identical to that of the E38, but I have yet to strip one apart and look into it.

Thanks.
Next question, would that be the 2002 to 2006 2.2l or the 2007 up 2.2l?
Or do they use the same ECM?

Taz, did you ever manage to get e98 read/write/cloning working?

I might need to clone my dads colorado ecu if 1 the injector drivers turned out to be rooted.

Unfortunately not, I went as far as decompiling GM/Holdens kernel to see what they did, seemed pretty straight forward to implement. Its just a matter of updating the erase/write/read routines and canbus registers realistically.
