ok i have a feeling it might actually be a standard cable but he said im still able to change a lot of things and reset ecu. ?


The Tactrix cable has a bit of extra functionality & provides a voltage on a pin back to the ECU to allow re-flashing of the ECU.
Other than that though they are very similar.

The free re-flashing software that is out there is still somewhat in its infancy and people are working on various projects...probably would be more developed if they were all working on the one thing.

Tip - if you plan to download maps onto your ecu or tweak your ecu, suggest you get your AFRs, etc checked properly.

Tips... know what you are doing!

Also... beware of the ecu "marry" issues coming up... bye bye ecu if you are not careful.. oh yes..

MY06's have checksums.. so if you decided to edit.. you'll miff something.

Also remember first 8kb of RAM has your VIN number...
