12. Access to the factory VCN 2000 Volvo scan tool

I own my own Volvo Scan Tool, I have Vadis/Vida on my computer, I have a VCT 2000, and before the year is over I'll have my own Vadis/Vida lap top thats exactly like the Vadis/Vida carts at work.

Can we rent it from you?

What exactly can you modify with the VCT? Does it only work on the CAN-protocol cars? I imagine you can only reflash the ECU with factory updates, but if you can actually do tuning that would ROCK!

Lemme know.

You can modify nothing with the VCT2000, it's just the interface between the VADIS and the car.

VCT 2000 is for 1999 and on, the CAN protocol cars.

No tuning possible, only software programs provided by volvo, and we don't know much of whats in the SW update, it usually covers lots of things but we are told about one major item maybe.

Volvo scan tool is good for monitoring everything that goes on with the OBD II ecu.

OK, we still need someone that is well versed in assembly language. That is the key to this whole thing. I can provide dissasembled versions of the stock roms, but that doesn't mean didly unless you understand assembly to see what is going on.

Anyone?

'Understanding' assembly is not the problem, its the hours and hours spent looking at the code and working through what it does that consumes the time. How about getting the ROM image disassembled and then breaking it into workable blocks between anumber of people who can work through it?

Definitely. The problem is again you can have 3 dozen workable blocks but unless you know what's going on then you may as well be reading Mandarin. That's also why I'm trying to hook up with someone (outside of VS) that has Motronic experience. Even 2.x and ME decoding will help, as Bosch seems to do things a certain way and someone that has already been down the road will have a huge head start right off the bat.

well there are places that have the "presets" per se already made for the bosch ecu.

But I agree with EOBD, ASM is such a pain in the freaking jerk and I have only done VERY small VERY small programs with it. Not even programs more of just a proof of conecept to show how a c and c++ file gets compiled.

not sure if you guys have a decompiler/disassembler but I think winDasm was one. That was from my days of cracking though hehe. So I can't remember.
