Cable needed - Marteuk - 11-01-2017
Hello guys, I have some small fleet of cars and vans: BMW f10, Ford Transit mk7, Renault master mk3, audi a6 c5.
Don't know much about remapping, but had luck year or two ago remapping opel signum 2.0t with turbo and injectors upgrade.
used only simple obd cable as advised by guys in trionic tuning forums, and their software to adopt file with new values had increase from 175bhp to approx. 240bhp.
would like to play with the rest cars and i'm aware that simple obd won't work. any advice on cheap, but reliable and painless to use cable to download and upload files using any paid or free files service? Thanks in advance

You need to buy minimum Galetto v4, Kess and K-Tag EURO CLONING to play with this.

Some cars you have listed obd is ok, other not
best bet is kess + ktag
or if you want to be cheap then just a v54 as it can do both obd and bdm

8baller, i think kess+ktag ( clone )are very very very shit tools
RE: Cable needed - Marteuk - 14-01-2017
Ok now i confused, can you tell me please which cars or vans I can reflash/remap using just simple obd cable (not cheap one, as bought some reliable made in usa previously).
thanks

i'm not planning to do this for living just on some vehicles I currently own, that's why I don't want to invest on some professional stuff

Hi.try V54

can be ok
i bought one before..but install not so fast.

If you intend to do this just for map your own cars. i would suggest taking it to a tuning company.
As you already mention you know that some need ECU removed.
these type ECU need delicate work and soldering. Unless you spend even more money on probes and frames.. never mind if cheap flasher holds out through writing.
your more likely to cause damage.
Take them to a tuning company.

Car's ECU costs less than remap
, especially if 3 or more cars needed to do.
