[ahmy]

Wondering if anyone played with this more? Thinking of ordering this one.

Can you write with it?

I have tried it on LS1A pcm, LS1B pcms works great on those particular units expect where i had this case of a P04 N body style pcm fg tech kept throwing com errors , have also successfully read P10 6 inline as well as E38 pcms, black box reading was a failure.

Can you guys please report what have worked for you and what not, your input is needed for the next cheap guy

The cables (even the AVT cables) Only have about 7 bucks worth of parts in them anymore. I've been doing RF PCB stuff, and after moving over to surface-mount components I spend 100X less on components than I did in the old through-hole days. Combine that with Chinese PCB fabs and pick-and-place machines, and for 10 bucks each you can build them 10K units at a time...

The only thing you're paying for is the guy who wrote the software's time. Seeing as the software was probably ripped from someone else's project, most of those sales are just pure profit.

Done more testing on the 0411 pcms FG fails @ completing a full write but was capable of reading it just fine.

Tested PCMs

LS1A 512kb = read ok , writing works occasionally
LS1B 1mb = read + write
E38 = read + write
P10 = read + write
P04 = Fails @ both

Where did you buy yours?

Where did you buy yours?

Just buy the cheapest one and do a hardware rework on the PCB and update the firmware or get a EURO clone which is a slightly better pcb with upgraded components.

This is probably a stupid question, but do you have to be able to break the seed/key code in order for this to work? Or does it do something different, where it doesn't need to worry about the seed/key in order to be able to download the bin?
