Sagaris / ECU connector question

[NWTony]

All , I have a T350 with a Sagaris engine and I can't find the three pin plug to connect the ECU to a computer. I do have a 9 pin connector in the passenger footwell but can't find the three pin? Is it a case of either / or, or am I just not looking hard enough for the 3 pin in the drivers footwell? Basically does every car have both connectors?

Also we jerry rigged the 9 pin connector with wires to talk to the 3 pin plug but the ECU wouldn't communicate with the PC. I believe we have the latest ECU software (yellow cerbera)?

I do have the Sagaris bible and it says "... and you have the file 9410116A.RTV, if not rename it 9410035A,RTV". It appears I have both do I need to delete one or rename one?

Does anyone sell the 9 pin connector ECU lead?

So many questions - I used to be a lot better informed about Lotus! Thanks in advance for the help

You should be able to get it from Raceproved (I think they still do it)

Thanks for the reply,but I have the 3 pin lead already, but can only find the 9 pin port. I may not have looked hard enough for the three pin socket in the drivers footwell though so I will have a butchers again tomorrow.

Ah, sorry, misread - been a looonnnggg day...

Don't know about the T350 as mine is a Sag, but does this help?

Tony,

Did you ever manage to get your ECU connected to a Laptop. If so how did you achieve this?

Thanks

The lead may have been an issue.

The software works on Vista but not on windows 7 and I presume therefore not on Windows 8, even in compatability mode. I borrowed the 9 pin plug from Torque RVT and attached my own lap top, so either there is an issue with my 3 pin connection on the car or I bought a faulty lead.

Still not sure which really, once I'd resolved the issue it didn't seem urgent lol.

Talking of which, does anyone have a T350 / Sagaris I could try my lead out on? Northwest england area?

Sorry to correct you, but the Software runs without any problems on Windows 7 32-bit....

Thanks for the update, I'm in exactly the same situation.

That's fine, maybe I hadn't changed to 32bit mode. I'll give it a go and see.
