Instructions for getting started with MEMS Mapper and connecting to an ECU.

NB: I no longer generally supply the mini CD when I sell cables. The CDs come with the cables when I buy them, but lately I have sometimes found them to contain unnecessary or confusing VAG software tools and/or potentially unwanted or damaging programs. So I now remove the CDs for your protection and supply these instructions which guide you through the process of downloading and installing the software and drivers from my website, which is a much safer option. Please do not be concerned when there is no CD in the bag with the cable, everything you need can be downloaded for free online.

· Download MEMS Tools from the link at the top of this page. This will download a .ZIP file.

· Extract the .ZIP file into a new empty folder and the contents should look like this:

· Launch (double-click) the appropriate version of MEMS Mapper. The ECU types are listed for each version as shown above.

· You should then see a window that looks like this (it might look slightly different depending on the version you launched, but the instructions below apply to all of the different versions equally):

· Plug your cable into a USB port on your computer. You should see a popup like this, which tells you the COM port number that Windows has assigned to your cable:

· If you don’t see the popup, you may need to install drivers for the cable. There are options to do this on the menu in MEMS Mapper. If it’s a cable bought from me, you will need the CH340 driver. For other cables, you may need the FTDI driver instead. These menu items launch the chip manufacturer’s own driver installation program. Alternatively, you may download and install the drivers straight from the chip manufacturers’ websites: CH340: https://www.wch-ic.com/downloads/ch341ser_zip.html, FTDI: https://ftdichip.com/drivers/, although Iwould recommend installing through Mapper for simplicity.

· Now select the COM port which Windows has assigned to your cable as shown here:

· Make sure you have to correct ECU type selected here (the example below shows a petrol MEMS3 ECU, but you should select the type which matches the ECU you want to connect to):

· Click About ECU:

· If everything is set up correctly and you are connected to the ECU, you should see a box of information about the ECU like this (the dialog box shown may look different for different ECU types):
