i second that. why limit it to tactrix? is it a dependency on their api or just business? you'd sell a lot more if i could use my $25 ebay cable.

It can't work with a cheap arse cable and anyone who knows anything about Suburu ecus already has a 2.0 anyway.

They are different solutions. I can see the attraction of the tablet for canned tunes, but I wouldn't tune a car with it.

Now I have only been a Subaru guy for a little over a year now, but from talking to the guys with Tactrix 2.0 cables and Anthony @ Drunkmann Tuning they are still cheap arse cables, they just cost alot. Sounds like they tend to break rather easily. I agree that I would rather not be forced to have to tune on a laptop and then upload it to a tablet to then upload it to a car.

just take care of the mini usb. Helps to get an obd extension so you wont accidentally pull on the usb while tuning. For just logging, get a vagcom. My tactrix 2.0 is 4 years old this year, already soldered the pcb haha Got new ones though, 50 off from the good guys of tactrix.

Thread revival! Just grabbed the application. Got some previous SRF/BIN files I want to open in BRZedit. Can't open them obviously.

If I flash them with ecuflash, can I then read them with BRZedit to then play with? I'm sitting in my office and it isn't obvious that the software has a read mode like ecuflash that I'm used to.

Is logging knock possible or not. I've seen where you can custom create logging parameters based off of roms, but I am not seeing where anyone is logging knock. I'd consider buying the software if I was sure that I could log knock.

BRZ edit software uses a tactrix cable to flash log, brzedit provides extensive logging capabilities including knock, so yes with brzedit software all the logging is sorted.


If you want to do the standalone logging to the SD card directly in tactrix with no laptop connected then yes you will need to know ram addresses ect, but not if using BRZEdit via laptop and tactrix.

Okay probably a many times asked question but can BRZedit support flexfuel yet? If it can, this will most likely be the product I will use for tuning. If not, I guess I have to suck up the cost of EcuTek and dealing under MRT Performance

It's an editor and logger. It won't help you inject the required code in to the rom. That functionality will come from the opensource community, probably not for your D00G rom for a while though, only A01G and B01C have been tested afaik.

If you haven't made any investment yet, you're better off going with Delicious or Moto East, or see if Throttle Happy can do D00G.

My code is A01G but currently I'm getting into tuning these cars and looking at which program is going to be best. I've used brzEdit and like it and the logger is amazing but flexfuel is something I want to be able to do also.

its pretty well going to come down to this

If you want to just tune/flash NA cars and maybe some turbo/SC stuff using standard factory ECU code ie no fancy stuff like launch/FFS or flex fuel map switch or overboost protection then get Brzedit even if its just for logging. As your going to need at least a reliable logger for the many rom types and brzedit or just an Ecutek cable kit will let you log any rom type without a licience in ecu.

Unless your an ECU disassembly and code guru then your completely at the mercy of the very few that are, for stuff like logging ram address and any code patches you need for the extra features. Most work in their spare time on what suits them or their car and they wont in general be keen to spend heaps of time for you on your stuff especially if your the one who is going to onsell the stuff and make money out of it.

Even if you do become proficient at coding and disassembly it will take many many hours to develop patches test them and then apply to the various roms. Once you start messing with the actual ecu code a single mistake can result in a bricked ECU, or unreliable or unpredictable performance on the vehicle.

Which pretty well leaves you with Ecutek if you want all the fancy stuff, reliable support for any bugs or if you somehow brick an ecu.

The Brzedit guy seems a bit hit and miss with support

After purchasing brzedit you get two stock tunes, one has LC and FFS patches included.

Do you get the source code for those patches?
