Need help reading ECU EDC15 BMW E39

by **GedasGG** » Sun Sep 13, 2015 8:30 pm

Hello,

I have searched hi and low about this, but haven't found.
I am about to flash my first tuned file to bmw e39 525d. The problem is that It doesn't read a full 512kb data, only 48kb partial. Is it bmw's protection or something, that doesn't allow to read? I know, the partial file is ok for tuning, but I want to protect myself having a full file which could come in handy when something goes wrong while flashing and external programmer would needed.
I am using MPPS V13 clone cable with MPPS V12 software. Is there a way to get full data with this hardware?

Thanks.

That file size is correct(data only) There is all maps for tuning.

BUT if you wanna full file, you have to desolder chip and reading external programmer.

So there is no way to read a full bmw data by OBD? Other car i have (Peugeot 406 2.0 HDI) reads everything fine.

Also BMW should read fine, but only data- area and that's why file is smaller if use MPPS. You can read BMW also with galletto v3, then file size is 512kb. What is your purpose, do what need...

EDC15 galletto file size seems to be 256kb.

I read and write same car before couple of days with Galletto 4 v 54- file size 512kb. Also with Kess v2 512 kb. So you should find someone with galletto or kess just in case anything go wrong

Thanks for replies.
I heard gallettos are unstable and chance is high to unfinish writing procedure bricking ecu via OBD (probably chinese ones). Maybe flashing with chinese galletto's bdm is more reliable or better to avoid those cheap things?
I see there are many galleto products with various prices on internet. Is it possible to identify if device is OEM or chinese clone from photos?

BR.

OEM Galletto starts from 2000 Euro for second hand. If it's lower- its clone. However i never had problem with my Galletto clone flashing BMW. But there are differences in clones.

If need refixed Galletto there is, but prices are more than 50 euros. Quality is not free.

I am about to buying galletto device from ebay.
Is there any difference between galletto 4 v54 and galletto 2 v54? Is it possible to run with windows 7?
