DSMlink question

[Slowwwboy]

Hey I bought a 2g and the previous owner was tuning with dsmlink v2. I have the cables for it but he said I need to download the actual program offline. On the ECM site I only saw V2.5. Should I d/l this or do I need to find the v2.0? Thanks.

Yes, v2.5 or you can download v3 software. If you d/l v3 you just won't be able to use everything it shows available. V3 software is way prettier to look at and it has a tabbed interface

Use v3 software.

I couldn't find the download link for v3 so I downloaded v2.5. Another question, he put his tunes on a flash drive for me, I uploaded it to my computer and I don't know how to get it into the dsmlink. its an ecu file. thanks so far guys

v3 is the first download on the page. Download it, use it, it's much better than the 2.5 app. You will also get more help when you post logs as most people that use link run v3.

To get the v2 .ecu file loaded onto your car, go to ECU > Load/Save/Type > Load from disk. Then find the file and open it. I believe you'll also have to go through each of the ECU screens (Timing, Airflow, Fuel, etc.) and click the Copy to ECU button on each.

Keep in mind, the .ecu file will not work with the v3 application. Once you have the tune loaded into the ECU, start up the v3 app and take a log. Since it has more points than v2, you'll have to add on to the tune.

So should i download 2 and upload the ECU file or should I just get 3 and create new tunes

Depends on how in depth the tune you had done was. If it was just a friend tuning it for you, download v3 and start over. If you paid for someone to tune it and feel they did a good job, download v2, upload the tune, and then adapt it using v3.
