Johnny 5C Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) Anyone in Portsmouth/Fareham/Southampton area who can do the coding to get the OBC stalk working? Im thinking about replacing my poverty spec stalk with an OBC one. It looks like a fairly simple job to retrofit the hardware, I just will then require the coding done.

chris Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 SSS for coding is even slower though, takes ages and ages for some reason. Although the laptop is slow, i did upgrage the ram but still takes ages! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mintimperial Posted February 16, 2012 Report Share Posted February 16, 2012 Problem is all that software was designed for sloooooow computers via serial ports.. Thats why i rant and rave about how good PA soft BMW scanner is....USB interface, and its all just checkboxes IE: OBC | ON[x] OFF [ ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Johnny 5C Posted February 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Great. I will pick up a stalk and get it fitted. I can work out how/who can do the coding in the mean time. Chris, would you do this for beer tokens if I came to you? Cheers John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimp Choker Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 Is there somewhere to aquire PA soft online? i could never get it to work with my cable gaz, i beleive the PA soft interface cable is different mint, can you confirm?

chris Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 No probs. I've ordered pa soft as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Posted February 17, 2012 Report Share Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) I want to order PA soft now! Those that have both PA soft and NCS, is there much you can do in either one that the other can't? Or is it mainly the interface that makes PA better?

Gaz, PA soft can reprogram used parts with your VIN...great for clusters and ECUs and stuff...dont think others can do that! Also mileage correction.
