Hi

I just bought from www.obdfocus.com (http://www.obdfocus.com) a Tacho Universal which was supposed to be a V2009 but says EDITION 2007 - TACHO 2008 - with update from January 2008.

I was trying to update it so followed the instructions with the "0" Update function.

Now when I select "OK" Continue it shows "RESET" on the display.

I tried the #83 Serial Comunication cable and didn't work to connet. As well, and not being sure the cable is a DB9: 5-5 2-3 3-2 I used a crossed RS cable from a Dreambox and still cannot connect to any Dump.

I have the following forders with files: TachoDumpSetup; tacho 100%_working; Unlock; tacho 2008 dump sahin45; TACHO200801UpdateKit

Can I solve it? Can someone help me with instructions?

"u need to reprogram or change ic111 & ic112"
Ok, I got that, I was searching the Internet and realized that when I read efichip.com.
So can I reprogram it? How can I connect it to the PC? Is the crossed RS232 Cable from the Dreambox useful? Is the included #83 cable viable? What software to use? I tried "TachoDumpSetup" and cannot syncronize it

I've got the same machine.

Never you can update by software. You have to buy an Upgrade kit.

You need reprogram IC111 and IC112 Amic 29F040, try GQ4X (mcumall) or similar programmer.

yes but sometimes you may update them or in my case i chaged them for updated ones and then had other problems so i bought my kit from ecutools.com and then you have everything to do the job and it dont cost much

whe you'v used your tacho more than 50 times then you'll undertand which "sync" problem he had

Has someone succeeded so far by using TACHO200801UpdateKit.exe to remove "UPDATE HANDEL" from the DIGA/TU screen?????
My device is from EFI-CHIP and it seems to bee unlocked because I have used for more than 100 times but I dont like the delay!
I also have the NULL modem cable ok!

Ive probably used my machine more than 100 times...It says update or sync ( not every time) but still works..

The reason for my post is: people asked how to make a cable but the one that comes is good enough.

Now a question: The IC111 IC112 that comes with the repair kit need to be programmed? Got a repair kit from ecutool and with new ICxxx chips no menu comes on.. Got the proper programmer for them chips and IC112 gets an error.. Not very happy with the service from ecutool so far.. Got some returned item and they just ignore me, brand new tool keyboard not working fully. But that is another story..

The IC111 IC112 that comes with the repair kit need to be programmed?


the answer to that is no they dont everything in the kit you just swap with the board mine was from ecutool and was fine


no need to program anything when buying repair kit

What do you mean with july 2008 updates, changed date 24 jan 2008 in july 2008 :-), sorry the latest Diga updates are from october 2007, the chinese cloners called it 24 jan 2008, and to sell more unit they changed it into july 2008. Looks better on the startup screen.

Correct me when I am wrong by showing me the car list of july 2008 :-).

tacho, diga etc are copies of an original maufacturer who stopped updating this machine in late 2007.....

instead they manufactured a new machine which uses new hadware and software...

so the tacho universal has no more updates...........
