Diagnostics only. The VY definition files are pretty limited at the moment but go take a look at www.efilive.com and download version 4 to give yourself an idea as to what you can get.
There should be enough info in this thread to roll your own and I can sell you the plug if you want. If you want to buy then take a look at the following thread USB -> VR/VS/VT adaptor

If you want to remap you should speak to DrBob. The ALDL cable will do diagnostics only.

I advise everyone just to get a complete setup from michaelw. He does them at a really good price and the whole setup is professional. Fits the whole circuit into the connector, usb ready. When he can do them for the price he does, its not worth doing it yourself.

Have bought the kit from Michaelw, and have been able to get it to work; however, it seems to cut out after a few minutes and the live dashboard doesn't seem to work, even when logging shows that it is recording live data (for a short time!)
Any ideas what I should try, or is this normal?
Cheers,
Brian

I also got the cable from the good man. It's works fine. But EFILive V4 evaluation does seem very limited in what it can do for me. I got the Dash screen up but it would only show the items in the pic below. While using it I found it would set the thermo fans off and raise the idle, I would have to use the clear DTC button to turn them off after viewing the dash readouts live. I'm told the full version may give me more usable dash readouts.
Cheers
Deek

Hmmm, thanks for the info - I get the beep & the usual warning lights flashing, as described in the "readme"'s.... but I can't even get those gauges working - nothing on my EFI Dashboard responds, only a few of the the raw data & graphs, & I don't think there is one for engine timing... may be because I have a VX? I guess I'll have to wait & see what other feedback there is....

So it displays data for a bit then shuts off? The logging on the trial version of the software is limited to about 20 seconds. But you should be able to get live data. When you select the engine data macro and then go aldl->start what does the tab for the dashboard display?
The vx does not have too much data on it at the moment. but you should get some sings of life. If you have no joy I will sort something out.

As the trial version is limited, you cannot display many graphs at once BUT you can change what is displayed. Right click on an active graph and then follow the menu to get what you want to read.
