Yeah I'm intrigued let me know how it goes. I've sent HHH an email about evoscan too so see what the go is.

Just wondering do all the sensors work etc? I never even thought of getting something like this for the FTO. But since I got the GTO it was a high priority. More prone to breaking I guess I'll be the first to admit.

I dont think it will for early models...however 2001 onwards it appears to have have capability with the different cable.

ok I recieved my new cable and installed the software on my laptop...

FANTASTIC!

Works straight away, no issues and look great. Best thing I bought for the FTO in some time.

So easy to check ECU codes, can get a reading for almost everything...can plot everything in real time on some pre-designed guages...

Next step is to buy a new car PC...and run the apps while driving.

This should be the GB for Xmas...

great to hear hunjeng cnai ask though is abs disabled with it plugged in so when your driving and its all plugged in is abs off mate?

Why all the ABS questions? Why on earth would it 'turn off' ABS?

Dr_Jones · Post by **Dr_Jones** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 2:52 pm

There are issues with many loggers that disable the abs for some reason. Not sure what the reason is. Mine doesn't do it. Something to do with the cable design.

khunjeng · Post by **khunjeng** » Sun Nov 25, 2007 4:31 pm

the issue is apparently when in diagnostic mode, ABS was off.

Lucky for me I dont have ABS!

Even if it did who cares its not to be run all the time...only when you have issues.

Its worth it just for the error codes. Plug in the cable (without the sofware) and it starts flashing as it should...then with the software it tells you what the error code is..too easy.

Its a friggen great tool, as no doubt Ben will agree when he uses his. SO much info

Hopefully I'll have a fiddle with mine this week

(evoscan that is lol)

Its gonna be interesting when I upgrade the Unichip I've got at the moment to something that I can program (Unichip has to be done by Croydon.) Im already experiencing pinging due to the humidity & temp changes of summer... almost have to have it retuned every winter / summer!

Got this all hooked up & running today. Works a treat - even has a chicks voice tell you when the line is disconnected

Didn't really capture too much meaningful data, was more of an installl & test job today. It'll take me a while to trim down all the options to get exactly what one would need to know from an FTO. I'll then do up a gauge cluster with all the relevant streams & post up the template if anyone wants it.
