rar file that has the programs (KWP2000 & TunerPro) and a stock M-box ROM and the M-box. More ECU tuning tools can be found here: – ECUFix (allows the correction of checksums of edited flashes so the ECU will accept the files and run them).

I’ve read that this software is out dated and is not the best to use, but it will allow you to ‘find’ maps and possibly even have something similar to DAMOS files where it already knows and points out what areas of the maps do what) – ECM2001 (Tuning of ECU files, checksum correction, plotting of graphs etc.
– VAG EEPROM Programmer (not quite sure yet, seems like this software lets you directly HEX edit the program in the ECU (be it for mileage changes or otherwise related to tuning) So yes you can ‘copy’ entire ECU’s this way.) – Galletto (allows the reading and writing of flashes/files to and from the ECU using a KWP2000 cable.
There are files called DAMOS files which are ‘key’ files which contain the info to reveal maps in WinOLS and other tuning software) – WinOLS (HEX based map editing that will allow you to display them in various ways, will auto find maps but not tell you what they are. So far I have acquired the following programs that seem to be used to edit/find maps and various other things pertaining to VAG cars:
And I’m sure many others feel the same way. Everyone should have the option to tune their own cars for a reasonable amount of money if they choose to put enough work into it. Hardware such as KWP2000 cables are obviously something you’ll have to buy but are not going to break the bank. So far I have found a slew of programs for various VAG cars, some I was able to find for free, others I paid for. I know tuning isn’t for everyone, and while many people ‘want’ to tune themselves, many shouldn’t unless they’re really willing to learn an in depth process. I would like to know if anyone else here has been able to gather any information for our ECU’s.

So, onwards it goes… I’ve been crawling the web to get as much information as possible as to how to tune these ‘pesky’ ECU’s and finding the right tools takes a lot of time (and sometimes money). Not to say there isn’t people out there for the Japanese that don’t continue to develop to make money off of it because there is, but in the end there are enough tools (hardware and software) available for you to tune your car yourself on a very acceptable budget. Of course the sad reality is that in the European automotive world, many things are kept a secret due to greedy tuners and business while other enthusiasts of many Japanese cars get to enjoy the ability to do what we want to do for many years now thanks to many smart people that work together to just make it work. So since I’m now very interested in keeping everything as stock as possible as far as engine controls goes, I’ve gotten back into researching information on what tools are needed to gain access to the ECU program/flash and decoding the information in it to modify the tune and send it back to the ECU.
