Lemmiwinks Revo-Technik anyone?

Post by smokeGTI »

I found some VAG tuning shareware from web a long time ago,
I just happened to plug it in today,get no connection with my OEM
VAG-com cable(which has 4 pin at the ISO end).

I was just wondered if anybody try it, does it works with our 6N2?
Or I just bought a crapy cable? The cable is working fine with VAG-com 3.112 though.

You need an ecu flasher, eg KWP2000. They cost £100+ But be very careful, its easy to ruin your car!

The OBD2 cable you have is only for on board diagnostics (hence OBD) and cannot alter the mapping of your car, thats where a flasher interface comes in.

I found this on aother forum:

Adaptation type switching is limited in value due to the scope of adjustability. This method moves the entire map up or down in a linear fashion. Real tuning requires map manipulation in certain areas of the table. In adjusting a map it is necessary to lower or raise certain areas of the map, and linear manipulation does not allow this. Since much of our switching is patent pending, it is no wonder that others would explore these options. We felt that the Lemmiwinks software was not powerful enough to charge the consumer for, but it may be useful and fun for the consumer as Freeware. We will be posting a technical write up of the program with some explanations of its abilities as soon as possible. We should add that we do not consider this program or any others like it to be an advanced tuning kit.
Basically, it won't adjust enough to make your car super fast. I wouldn't want to DIY my tuning, because I know my car would blow up as a result. I think ECU mapping should be left to the pros, thats why I recommend real Revo.
