New Software Utility for the E39 M5 & E46 M3 by ECUWorx

[Martyn]

As per the title I've just put together a new utility for you guys that can do a few basics on the DME.




The software can be used with a standard K/DCAN cable (set to COM1) to do the following:
- Read DME information such as VIN, DME type, DME software version, number of flashes available etc
- Read Fault codes
- Clear Fault codes
- Read key adaptation values such as your long and short term fuel trims, your ignition adaptations and your vanos adaptations.
- Clear adaptations

The software is provided free of charge and can be downloaded from here > https://www.ecuworx.co.uk/downloads

Simply extract the zip file keeping the folder structure as is, ensure your K/DCAN cable is set to 'COM1' and fire up the app.

Thanks for all you do for the community.

Thanks for all you do for the community.

Seriously. I can’t wait to give this a try, and the money I spent on the binary editing tool has been worth it many times over.

[Obioban]

Awesome!

Might be worth adding an EWS sync function. I was thinking of making a quick utility to do so myself, but seems like you’ve already got 99% of the code to do so.

Good shout, I did add EWS sync status but wasn't sure whether the result I was getting back was acurate as I don't have the stock DME in the car anymore, just the bench.

Very cool! Just downloaded it. What are the Cylinder # Ign. values?

[Cubieman]

Thanks Martyn, I love a straight up graphic interface!

[Sharocks]

You the man, thanks for this.

[Tbonem3]

Sweet! Thanks

That’s awesome. Thank you.

They are the amount of timing in degress the car is pulling or add on a particular cylinder.

Thanks a lot for this, Martyn! Nice to have something simple that will show and clear adaptations in one convenient little place. Was annoyed when I bought the Schwaben tool to find that it doesn't reset the LTFTs when you "reset adaptations".

On the subject of adaptations:

1. Are there any other (perhaps less "important") adaptations that are reset when you "reset adaptations" besides LTFT and ignition timing? (I'm assuming your tool doesn't reset the VANOS adaptations... or does it?)

2. In ideal/average conditions on a healthy engine with no problems, what should one expect/hope for the ignition timing numbers to look like? Anything specific one would want to look out for in those numbers that might indicate a problem somewhere?

Can we clear flash count?

No. MSSflasher.
