Hello to all.
Wishing everyone here at DK a very Happy New Year's filled with only the best things for 2011 for everyone!
Hi guys
I wanted to get some feedback regarding the Galletto 1260 clone and the BMW E46 MS42. I want to purchase one of these to do some read/writing on my MS42 ecu, but i have seen that the application listings for just about all the clone Galletto's on ebay say that the MS42 ecu is for the BMW E36 instead of the E46. They also list the BMW E46 328 using the MS43 ecu when in fact my vehicle, a 2000 BMW E46 328Ci uses the MS42 platform. Has anyone read/written their BMW E46 with the Galletto tool without any problems even if you have had to select the E36 MS42 in the Galletto software? I saw in two different Galletto software versions where my vehicle is listed as using the MS43 ecu instead of the MS42. I was told by a friend that: " you could chose any 3 5 7 or even Z3 with the MS42 ecu type and it will read it just the same.
It should have an ID button, so once you connect, you try to get the ID. If it works, you can read it, if the ID fails, then you need to choose a different ECU."
Is this correct? I just want to be on the safe side and avoid frying my ecu.
Here is the link where i am considering to purchase the Galletto 1260
