Philip, for the 75/ZT, can you reset service lights etc? It's something that small independent garages don't seem to be able to do (another market for the device perhaps?) From the information that you gave me it should be possible. I just haven't actually tried it though. If the service light is o...

I am still waiting for my prototype mk3 PCB to arrive. It is being thoroughly tested at the moment and I am told I should be able to have it on about the 20th assuming that there are no serious problems, so I really won't have any news for a couple of weeks. I don't want to make an absolute commitme...

I live in Ruislip.

Normally I can get ECUs working on the bench if I can get a wiring diagram that shows the ground, power rails and K line. Access to a complete car is easier though.

It doesn't work on the KV6 because I don't know anyone who has one of these cars. If you want to meet up then I would appreciate giving it a go.

The PCB has surface mount components including things like a microprocessor and a CANbus chip. There are over 100 components on there. Really the only scope for home building is snapping it into the box, and making the cable from the box to the car yourself. I'm not ideologically against this but it...

I have been working on the price for this. I see that Rob is cranking up the pressure :-) I am currently waiting for quotes from companies that build circuit boards, companies that make plastic boxes and companies that make cable assemblies. Until I know the costs of the parts I can't really commit ...

Time for an update. MEMS 1.9 and MEMS 2J are working (as before). I also found that this works on a 1999 Mini which is useful. ABS 5.0 protocol from Robs MGF as working at least on my emulator, but I need a repeat visit to Rob to test it on an actual car. However some of the packet timing is not ex...

Watford is quite good for me because I work in Hatfield and Watford is potentially on route to/from work. I will be in touch. Thanks, Philip

Are there any VVC MEMS2J owners around that fancy letting me test this out on their car? I'm in Ruislip.

Yes that would be good, however I am out of the country for the next three weeks.

Eventually I would like to implement the key programming functionality of the T300 as well, which would give people the best of both worlds with one unit (and a legal one as well instead of a Chinese clone). This could take a while though. My current feeling on this is that key code programming is n...

Yes. But I am a few months away from having a marketable product yet.

I understand that anything less than MEMS3 won't work on OBDII readers, because the data protocol is different Correct. MEMS 1.9 and 2J are not OBD complaint, but I have implemented the proprietary algorithms and so I can connect to them. I have read that both the earlier MGF's and Landrover ECUs w...

Jon, I've just dropped Philip Christian an email. That would be me! The software that I have is working quite well on MEMS 1.9 and MEMS 2J. The MEMS 1.9 code has so far been tested on a Lotus Elise and on Rob's MGF. The MEMS 2J code has so far been tested on a Lotus Elise VVC and on a Rover 200 BRM...
