    Hello David MC,
    I have a couple questions you might be able to help me with:
    1) I was reading Carsoft lets you reset the adaptation values of the DME: are we talking about things such as LTFT (long term fuel trimming)?
    2) How strong are the live data functions? Can I for example record different parameters, export the in a CSV value and read them in excel? Let's say I wanna see if I'm running reach or lean and I wanna check what would be the O2 voltage at different RPM, under differnt load condition: can I do it?
    Thanks

    This is the one I have. I can read and reset all modules on my car.
    BUT the Live Data shows ZEROs. I don't know if this is a Carsoft problem or this box.

    The only way to record live data is to use your computer's Printscreen function to copy and paste the info into a word document - cumbersome but it beats scribbling 5 pages of live data out with a pencil. The Carsoft 6.5 review by DJGenius shows most of the functions available on Carsoft, which does not support DME remapping or fuel trim adjustment.

    Are the crack files already in the folder that can be downloaded or do i need to get them from somewhere else. Can you send them to me David? I have been trying to get the program running with no luck yet.

    The program folder on the hosted website should contain everything you need. I have also uploaded a few other files that may be of interest, such as BMW Trouble Code definitions, a PDF e36 owners manual and some repair guides.

    I'm having trouble with the tiff file, the fault codes file...When I download it it pops up in another window and displays some funky characters and then stops...Any ideas on that?

    I have re-loaded the M52 fault code file as a PDF, try it now. If Carsoft is asking for an authentication code, the software has not been cracked properly, I suggest you print out the installation instructions and reinstal the software.

    Interesting, my 6.5 version has the option to reset the DME
    Special functions
    Adaptation values
    DME/ME ERASE

    Have not tried it however. Not sure where you read the current values.

    So I see the coding tabs, dme coding and lcm coding, what are these for? I click it and it says reading coding data then says turn ign off-turn ign on and then i press write coding...is this for module replacement? So the new module gets the info the old module had?

    I have also seen but not used the coding functions and agree that they appear to be used to transfer data to a new module during replacement.

    JRW21 that is the interface that I have. It does seem to work to get/clear codes, but Live Data reads all zeros. I don't know if that is the car (Siemens MS43) or the interface box.

    Be patient, it sometimes takes a while.

    Max, thanks for the reply. Can you confirm if this will realign an ecu on an ecu tune swap?

    The only option I see that has "sync" is "Sync EWS <--> Engine Control Unit"
    However, the next time I connect it to my car I will check all the menus.
