MSS54 DS2 Tool: FREE TOOL for programming DME - Tune, full binary, flash counter, etc

[karter16]

The latter is how I do it in mss6x flasher (minus restoring adaptions etc), but that's also partly because on those DMEs writing a program wipes the tune so it's pretty much necessary. I do like the idea of having a 'one click' solution to accomplishing what is essentially a complete restore from a different backup (minus ISN I guess). Could be useful for those scenarios where one needs to swap back to a stock tune not want to go through the hassle of setting the drive cycles again etc.

Another thought I had was adding a RAM dumping functionality, though again probably mostly useful for us tinkerers out there.

Yeah okay - I've been thinking about this and it seems like it could be the more streamlined way to do it for sure. also means where the user wants to write multiple blocks the app can just execute that as a set of sequential actions. Thanks heaps for this, I will look to implement this in a future version.

Ah RAM dumping is a great idea - I hadn't thought of that one. as you say, less people who will use it, but that doesn't matter, the point is to try to make all these activities as easy as possible (and accessible on modern hardware, Win10/11, ARM, etc.)

Hmm, I haven't tested this app on ARM yet, but my own MSS6x flasher seems to work fine on ARM with any cable I throw at it (whether in CAN or K-line mode).

Might be worth trying COM mode instead of FTDI or vice versa to see if that works better.

I've done all my development on Win11 VM on an M1 MacBook Pro with a USB-C to A adapter and no issues there.

[karter16]

I'll give that a try. It defaults to COM for this cable.

And to confirm, have you set the COM latency time to 1ms in device manager? If you use FTDI driver then the software can do this automatically, if you use COM then you have to make sure it's set to 1ms (defaults to 16ms).

Tomba How does the INPA Vanos test compare to the original DIS Vanos test?

I haven't tried Matt's tool yet, but I've been using it for many years on almost a daily basis, and it's very reliable.

let us know once you try out, im sure it'll work perfectly. Will be ordering soon.

Either the cable with USB-A to USB-C adapter (old blue OBD cable supplied by TTFS) is having a connection issue during a fast read or something in the Win11 ARM VMware is interrupting the connection. Slow full read works, but takes 30min.

Is this a manual or SMG? I know for the models where fast baudrate was officially supported sometimes the transmission module being on the bus sometimes caused issues.

Can you do a fast full read with this cable? Current cable stops at 5% and gives an error. Slow full read works though.

Fantastic work! Will try out the tool sometime soon

I always use the OSE K-line, small form factor, well built and only 29$

That's great, thank you. Do you have a link for a good legitimate one?

Gentlemen any links for where to buy a good cable to use with this?
