Best version error? If so, replace your ECU files with older ones.

I'm running v41. What version should I use?

Downgrade to v39 or even v38. Just overwrite the ECU files nothing else.

Those are the ones, best ones you can use.

Agreed

Those are the drivers I use - no problems whatsoever from beginning

I don't know what version it was, but I tried the old version & still no go. Couldn't find a working link to v38 or 39 on Google.

Anyone have one?

Swap out with the files from the first page link/DIY link.

Yes, move your old three folders to a backup folder..download my NCSEXPERT.rar file and replace all three of them..

If you need to code a newer car or newer software update.. replace your old files back.

Tried that. Did not work. This is for a 2007.

You have to copy and remove all three folders, and replace them with the ones in the .rar file..

I just did this an hour ago, works fine

Strange... I code 06-11 cars with v41 files. Maybe you did not do the data upgrade correctly. You should not have to switch.

bumere90 · 06-21-2011, 01:20 PM

I am getting this error message when I start Inpa

Elliott@DetailAddict · 06-21-2011, 01:40 PM

Make sure ignition is on. Make sure Latency is set to 1 not 16. Make sure tune is off.

bumere90 · 06-21-2011, 03:41 PM

How do I set Latency to 1? What do you mean by tune off?

if you have procede/jb4 make sure it's set to bypass mode/off, etc..

In the device manager under advanced settings for the comport.
It's pretty well described in the DIY. Have you followed that?

bumere90 · 06-21-2011, 05:56 PM

Thank you.
DIY didn't mention anything about setting Latency to 1.

This is the only part that I didn't understand what to do:
Ensure "use fifo uffers" option is marked and receive buffers and transmit buffers are both set to 8.

Elliott@DetailAddict · 06-21-2011, 06:49 PM

Ignore that. Just make sure latency is 1.
Test that.

Man, this software has been a PITA for me lol. I tried the older files once more & they decided to work for NFRM this time. So I am finally done coding everything I want. Thanks to everyone that helped me along the way.

Thanks a lot!
Now it works

matrix76 · 06-22-2011, 01:31 PM

Coding problem, I can read the ECU no problem but after I close it and then open the FSW_PSW.TRC it is BLANK, nothing to change and transfer to the FSW_PSW.MAN file

, Any ideas as to what has gone wrong???

Remake your profile and try again.
