View Full Version : ECU tuning software for Mac users?
I'd like to get a program for my Macintosh Powerbook G4 that will allow me to monitor my car's vital signs, as well as do all the neat little things that hand held tuners do these day. Any suggestions for software?

There's probably no nice way for me to say this, So I'll just come out with it.
RomRaider only works on Windows and Linux You can either set your machine to dual boot into Linux/windows and install romraider there, or get a 2nd laptop. This is open source, Apple doesn't play nicely with the open source community.
I'm not sure there is other software is offered that does the same thing on MacOS. There might be some auto diagnostic software, but RomRaider is the only stuff I know that's tailored for soobs specifically.
Hmmm...well, guess I'll have to get the latest edition of Boot Camp, Windows XP, and then get RomRaider, then.

:smile: That *should* be fine for diagnostics and monintoring. However, do not try to flash the ECU with this setup. The Romraider software, even on its intended platform can have hiccups (open source's beauty is also its curse). Unless, of course, you have a spare ECU.
ECU reflash failures result in 1 of 2 things. Nothing happens to the ECU, and all is well. Or the ECU is Bricked. Sorry to get kinda long here, I know you only want to use it for diagnostics (an excellent idea).
