HEX files

[big al 83]

Wanted to open the E5/6 RA map but it's in something called Hex. :unsure:
Where can I get the necessary software to do this?

Bearing in mind I'm useless on computers. :blushing:

[stu VI]

Have you installed the ecuflash software?

[big al 83]

yes, but I haven't a clue how to use it.

[stu VI]

Haha I'm still getting to grips with it myself.

Have you saved your RA map in a dedicated folder?

I have my Maps saved in folder named "EVO roms" on my desktop.

[big al 83]

I've had a look everywhere but I can't find it. I'll try again and do as you suggested.

[big al 83]

Found it....:p I think I'm going to need alot off help on this one:confused1:

Good stuff, now open ecuflash, left click on the folder icon top left, mines opens like so

Click on the RA map that you want to open and it should give you this

[big al 83]

done that but not getting any folder options to the right.

[stu VI]

Have you saved the RA rom to an easy to find folder?

[big al 83]

I can see it in my docs. as a zipped folder marked evo. when ecuflash tries to open it it says rom format not recognised.

[stu VI]

Ok, have you unzipped it yet? You will need to extract it to the folder you want it in i.e. "evo roms" or something similar

[stu VI]

Try this mate, save it to your desktop so its easy to find.

cheers Stu, downloaded to my desktop and then left clicked on the ecuflash and it worked :smile:

Once I've got a cable can I then download to my ecu?

Another headache.:blink:

[stu VI]

Nice one mate. Just a bit of practice.

What cable are you getting mate? Need the OP2 to flash to V/VI ecu.

You will be able to flash the RA rom to your ecu, but it is advisable to get your fuelling checked. Easiest way would be to get a power run on a dyno.

[big al 83]

Haven't got a cable yet but I'm on the lookout. I've got a wideband afr fitted plus boost gauge, and some home made det. cans.

When I get a cable how does it work?
Sorry for all the questions/ :blushing:

[stu VI]

You will need a tactrix OP2 cable to flash the ecu on the V/VI. Grants260 on the MLR does them.

I haven't received my cable yet, so haven't got that far yet haha.

There is guide on here in the " how to" section of the forum.

[big al 83]

Thanks Stu, I've pm'd Grant about a cable.
Do you know how costly they are?

[stu VI]

£165rrp is the price that grant quoted on the MLR group buy.

[big al 83]

Many thanks Stu for your help, much appreciated.

[stu VI]

No probs mate. Thats about the limit of my knowledge though haha
