Sharing Maps

Hi, i have a map for a 306gti6 engine, standard apart from a pair of 45s.

I would like to be able to share this if needed. just like to know how to 'get' the map?

Also, my Megajolt ECU has a serial port, can i upgrade this to a USB safely without damaging my ECU/map?

Many thanks

Matt

EDIS testing

Thanks Brent, i presume the tests for the coil are between coil live (feed) and battery/body ground for primaries. Do you measure the secondaries between the coil H/T output and battery ground?

Thanks for the info.

I have tried 2 of the Maplins, and two other makes, all had a prolific chipset, and none worked. I have been told a differant chipset (FTDP or something?!) may work, but dont ask me what this all means, if its not nuts and bolts, i find it quite hard to fathom!! In the end i got so p*ssed off with a...

quick one about connection.

Hi, just a quick one, i guess that when the MJLJ is correctly connected to the configurator (laptop) that my map should apear on the screen? Or do i have to click on the 'GET CONFIGURATION' button?
Many thanks.

They many about £3.80 delivered, Maplins want £20!!
