Hi

I am trying to upload a different map to my 406 2.2 HDi but not having any luck.

I have bought a Galletto cable which came with some software but no instructions.

I have installed windows XP on my laptop using VMware.

When I plug the Galletto cable into the car and run what I assume is the correct software (the only program type file on the software CD) I can click the 'ECU data' button and the 'ECU Data' box fills with info (as seen on pic) which I assume means it has just read that info from the ECU? But if I click 'Read ECU' it comes up with the error on the pic.

Any ideas?

As far as I can tell there are no install files for the software, it just runs when you click the .exe file.

What am I doing wrong? What position does the key need to be in? (I get the error whatever position the key is in).



Edited to add: I am getting the red power light on the Galletto cable.

I have no experience of the Galletto, but looks like a standard read error, either due to procedure, or battery voltage. You need to ensure your battery is connected to a decent stabilized power supply. The car mustn't go below 11.8v or you can potentially brick your ecu.

I seriously recommend you look for a manual for it and read it, or you could end up making an expensive mistake. I supply remaps using different equipment and know all to well the damage that can happen.

I read on another forum that running from the CD wont work, although it doesnt install, you need to copy it to your laptop and run it from there for it to work.
