Cradle For 3.8.3 18CH flashrom

[elcono]

Morning

Does anyone have any experience with installing a cradle (aka giac style)on the above ECU? I have a few spare flashroms and would like to grab the original file from my ECU with a programmer

There are a few 18ch ori's floating about, but i would like the peace of mind of having a backup of my own if possible

Cheers

whats the softcoding?

I have read 3 common 018CHs already

softcoding? never heard the term

What are you wanting to achieve here?

[elcono]

Hopefully in this order

Grab my original file
Fit cradle
load up a very very basic map i have been working on
Sometime in late 2016 be confident enough to have a half decent ko4-020 map for my current car
Start work on multimap for probably the next million years

To be honest it just genuinely interests me and i enjoy working with software in general, there just aren't many companies out there that think your serious when you just want to learn, even unpaid

Im aware on a 3.8.3 18ch i could just flash it normally but its more of a preference i guess, makes it slightly easier to recover from a bad flash if i can just swap it out (which is quite likely since im very much a noob)

Sorry for the delay in replying. I genuinely had to have a good think about what i wanted to do with my time (and life) over the next 2 years now that a baby is on the way

Soldering the chips in is dead easy and pretty risk free with the right technique.

Never had a flash go bad on an ME3.8. All ecu types can be recovered with the right flash set up.

I reckon i am just going to get it done properly and spend my time focusing on sourcing parts. i have patience but this learning curve never ends and i would hate to get this finished and then naff it all up at a software level

I had a look at custom-code UK to try and see a recommended hardware list for a ko4-020 build but couldn't see anything

What does CC recommend? i would like to match the hardware to the software

So far only have ko4-020, TT mani and custom lines

Did I send my number? Call me to discuss this. What's the turbo from?

i must be blind

softcode is 04000

If you did i cant find it. Will have a look on the FB page for it

2126 and 2955 are the most common softcodes.
