The MGF Register Forums

Welcome to the forum! Yes, it will read MEMS1.9, 2J and 3 - and I think Philip mentioned that he'd tested it on an MPi Mini (shouldn't it be running MEMS1.9? 2J was the VVC version?)

A colleague at work has a 99 Mini and I have tested the product with his Mini and it seems to work fine for the MEMS2J.

His Mini also has RC5 EC5 airbag which works intermittently. This is the same protocol as Robs MGF but strangely it is rock solid on the MGF but not so good on the Mini. I'm sure I will get to the bottom of it, I'm just struggling to get access to his Mini to try things out.

Yes some of the Minis have MEMS2J even though they aren't VVC.

I am now just waiting for the prototype plastic box to arrive so that I can take photos/videos of the product and launch it on Kickstarter. It seems that every step of this is taking four times as long as I hoped. The electronics are working very well which is a relief, and I now have a Linux application that works with just X Windows (it doesn't need GTK or QT).

Philip - can you pmail me your address ref my KV6 ECU.

Hi Philip,

Count me in for one of these..especially if it is able to reset my service interval..I have a 2009 LE500 and I believe they differ slightly from the MGR TFs in a much as a T4 won't do it..It has to be a T5..so dealer dependent and a pain.

I have had no access to an LE500 and have done no testing on one. If you live anywhere near me (West London) I would love to give it a go.

I wonder whether we can put together a day (or morning/afternoon) where we get all the vehicle permutations together in one place to see how well Philips's kit copes with all versions of MG Rover's platforms? We could make it a bit of a social event too?

I would be up for that.

I'll see whether the north London natter group are up for something - and of course, all forum members would be more than welcome to join us if we can get something together?

Yup..I'd be up for that..and Philip..if you need me to come up for a few hours in the meantime I'd be very happy to do that...

This is great news! Exciting times be nice to be able to use pc to diagnose issues instead of a handheld

Just have one of these on the way for OBD2 code reading and engine monitoring

to use with this on Android phone

Primarily for my mondeo, as the F is probably not compatible (MEMS2) but will try it anyway

all good fun

MEMS2 is not OBD2 compliant.
The system Philip is developing goes way beyond the standard OBD2 data.

Today I fixed this. It is now reliable on the Mini airbags as well. I also confirmed that yes the engine ECU is MEMS2.

Keep up the great work Philip cant wait to see the finished product

My Seimans 2000 is out of the car and in a box, just need to print the pin outs and post it.

Hmmm I bet there are load of stuff recorded on "Elise's" system not least as I had her running with no seats in then one seat in so the SRS light was up then of course I broke the slip ring . Would love to get it read and cleared maybe find out if the ECU has been played with or not? She certainly spits and pops on over run especially when driving gently on light throttle but does not do it when driving spiritedly .

Looks like an awful lot of good work has been going on across the water.
Congrats Philip on your remarkable progress
Please let me know when you have a finished system up, running and on the Market.
One will be heading to Canada, that is for sure, I dare say it won't be the only one either.
It will be a nice addition to the T300

It'll compliment your T300, because at the moment the only ECU Philip's system doesn't talk to is the alarm...

Personally I think it would be a good idea for this to be incorporated into the tool - for kit car owners, and those of us rebuilding cars, being able to code in new key fobs, or get an existing immobiliser to talk to the MEMS will be invaluable

and the power steering...

All on the to do list

Oh yes, I forgot about the EPAS. I have an EPAS ECU you can borrow...
