Guys,

If you are going to use Tactrix/Ecuflash to flash roms to your car please take the time to undrstand what you are doing.

If the words

32bitbase
definition file
ROM
Calibration ID
Bin/hex file
SRF structured rom format

are not familiar to you

and your not familiar with what some basic ECU tables like OL FUEL TABLE or BASE TIMING tables look like in a rom so you can check you are using correct definition files then

S T O P Do not attempt to flash your car

just finished trying to help person number 2 who has bricked their ECU. Tactrix/ecuflash is not an i-phone it is very unforgiving in inexperienced hands.

If your not willing to spend the time to learn and understand , please go and buy an Open Flash Tablet or get Ecutek or go to tuner its far cheaper than and a new ECU.

The definitions and bitbase files that come with tactrix/ecuflash are not the latest versions and only a couple of older american ones are supplied.

Check the rom your flashing to see if the tables look ok, if they look weird dont flash or edit it means your definition is not matched to rom this goes for RomRaider as well.

Tactrix/Ecuflash does not check it does not care it will just flash an incorrect , corrupted, out of date non compliant rom not suited for your car. Once that happens you may never be able to access ECU again.
