Hey guys, just wondering if anyone uses the tacho universal odometer correction tool? and if you have come across the sync error? Mine came with a kit used to reprogram the main unit when this happens however it does not work.
I have just been using the tachosoft mileage calculator which is an absolutely awesome peice of kit. but there is no point having a non working tacho universal. any help would be awesome.
Cheers
Mick
If your tacho universal is newer IE : 2008.3 then use the following software , you need to make you own serial cable but the pin outs are shown on the software .
If the software does not work you can use the option in the pdf. if you need the option in the pdf give me a pm .

Sorry mate only looked at the pdf you posted the 2.2 updater kit wont work with the 2007 tacho universal as the boards are different .
and if im right ater 50 vehile the kit will stop working and ou will need another update kit
We finally resolved the SYNC problem now. Our tacho universal will not get the SYNC problem any more!Features

- Never locking or SYNC even you do over 1000 cars
- No delay for starting the machine after testing 50 cars

Hi that software that you posted chadder looks like it is worth a shot.... im going to sound like a total noob but how do i make a null modem cable and where on the device does it go?
it goes into the 9 pin d shaped slot on the right hand side .
i think you only have to swap 1 or 2 wires over, if your not confident about making one than get someone local to knock you one up .
Did you not get the mainframe repair kit with you unit ?
Sort of related : there is a new version of the tacho universal called super tacho 2009 it has much larger coverage than the 208.3 and is also you can update the tool really does not lock out the only bad point is that it costs about ?1350.00.
there is also this oe on the market but dont know much about it

Hi thanks for your reply....i googled the null modem cable..looks pretty straight foreward to me. and i did get the mainframe repair unit with my tacho universal but it doesn't work. i can program the two main chips no problem. but as soon as it comes to programing the 24c02 eeprom it keeps stuffing up. .. does anyone have a dump of this eeprom that i can load with my normal programmer???
Thanks again guys this site is awesome
24c02 programming file eerpom filled to 50 cars, just program your pot ready and can work normally ....
I tried that dump that you sent me and still it turns on normal and i select ok. it says "Update Handheld" and a few seconds later "????SYNC????" and i cant go any further
Its driving me insane now....has anyone else encountered this?
Thanks again guys
