Lemmiwinks / Leon / Serial Cable Question

[DPJ]

( two steps forward, one back)

Has anyone had any success using Lemmiwinks on a Leon, with a serial cable?

I've tried pulling fuse 11, but I still get Waiting For 0x55 Character (*BAD ECU RESPONSE*)

As in the same tool as custom settings?
Ive used it before on mine, tell you what, lend us your sps3 and Ill lend you my cable

Let's take this a step at a time.......
1) Brendy- I didn't know you were still on here!
2) I bought myself a USB cable on ebay today - waiting for it to appear
3) pm me your address for me to send my SPS3.

Has anyone successfully used a serial cable with Lemmiwinks?

 

[cordobabrendy]

Yes mate I used lemmiwinks before and worked fine, generally turning the SEL scaling down a little for the missus!!!
Still on here, getting a new VRS octy next week and the leon will still be the weekender the missus is using it for school run at the moment.
The serial cable I have only has a few pins on it but seems to work with every motor ive ever plugged it into including my old cordy,tdi leon, ibiza cupra r, my cupra, a couple of fr leons and the odd vw. Lemmiwinks was only used on my car though.

Just down loaded a copy for playing around, dont undertstand what they do .lol, I know it only works with revo, but what kind of adjustments are availble?

 

[cordobabrendy]

You can modify fuel trims etc, scale down the turbo %, adjust revs, warmup fuel enrichment etc

Its no replacement for sps3 though as you can only turn the boost/sensetivity down.

I've not had any problem using my serial cable on several Leons. I just can't seem to get Lemmiwinks to run on it. I'm using the same Com setting as when I use it with Vag-Com. Pulling fuse 11 made no difference.

I'll have to try Unisettings with a USB cable........

I'm needing to add timing.......

Maybe he is loose in the dash

just thought id say i had the same problem as you with my old serial cable...

it worked with vag com fine BUT would not work with CC's software, which looks very similar to lemmiwinks (hence me posting this)

so I bought this cable as a m8 has it and he uses vag com and CC software! and sure enough it worked for me!
http://www.gendan.co.uk/product_VAGUSB.html (unfortunately I could only find the USB version of my cable on their website which is twice the price, but i assume it will work for you!)



so it appears SOME serial cables will only work with vag com and others will work with vag com AND CC/lemmiwinks!

hope this helps!

I was thinking exactly that.

DPJ, do you want cable that connects serial to SPS device?

Is there such a thing, Mark?
(There obviously is, or you wouldn't be asking)

Dave (getting his SPS3 out of the envelope that he is using to post it to CordobaBrendy) pulls the plug out of the end of his SPS3 for the very first time and is astonished to see another connector inside

Where do I get one of those?

 

[PhilW]

Try unisettings dave, it seems to work a little more consistant with USB cables.

Also, brendy, SEL has nothing to do with boost, its to do with MAF scaling so leave it alone unless your monitoring A/F.


Some info dave...

Cheers Phil!
Yes, I was going to use Unisettings when my USB cable arrives.

 

[PhilW]

What cable are you using currently then? I'm on a USB and dont get any problems with Lemmiwinks at all.

serial connection that functions as a vag-com lead.

9 way D type to SPS3. I'll bring it to awesome if it'll be any use
