leon36 Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Is there any chance that someone may be kind and generous enough to help me with some guidance on how to get some data to display on a racepak IQ3 non logger from a post 10000 ser no G4/V88 (actually v88 but i was told they are the same as G4). To be honest i dont really understand the settings on either software and i find the Racepak datalink especially confusing. I have a module from Racepak that says for G4+ and i have been told that this is correct, i also have a Vipec module but had no success with that either. I must have wasted days on this so far and i'm nearly ready to throw the Racepak away. Thanks in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted June 12, 2019 Report Share Posted June 12, 2019 Hi Leon The G4+ module is geared to work on CAN from the ECU, The Vi-pec module was serial based. Using the G4+ adapter you would follow the following steps on the ECU Go to ECU controls > CAN Configuration Select 1 MBPS for the data rate select ECU Transmit Load the Generic Dash.lcc file Set transmit rate to 50Hz Apply and then Store Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon36 Posted June 13, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 13, 2019 Hi Simon Thanks for that, i have set as suggested, i the transmit format available as well and have set that to sequential. Now that i look at it the module i have is 230-VM-EFILINKC SN:501520 LINK G4 CAN INTERFACE No luck yet Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That setting should be greyed out just like Simons picture above if the correct stream was loaded. Can you attach a copy of your map (.pcl) so I can take a look. Also have you done the "read Vnet config" thing in datalink? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon36 Posted June 14, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 H Adam Had a guy around today that thought he could fix it, still not working. we have done read vnet thing still no data. Im happy to just use the vipec cable at this stage as it is currently installed. I have heard stories of cutting wires inside the control unit to make something work so today i slid the board out to check and no wires have been cut or removed. ill have a go at attaching my file now. bmw83e85.pcl I cant be 100% sure that the link cable is functional as it has been modified at some stage as there is a dtm 2pin connector inline.

Adamw Posted June 14, 2019 Report Share Posted June 14, 2019 The CAN set up was a bit wrong but the serial set up is ok. I have fixed the CAN setting. So either of your Vnet devices should work now. Note for the serial to work you cant have a laptop/VTS connected to the ECU and you must power cycle the ECU with the Vnet module connected/no laptop connected. Then do the Read Vnet config again. bmw83e85 CAN Fixed.pcl Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

leon36 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Went and bought a new serial to usb adapter, this has solved the blue screen issue. Still no data. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted June 15, 2019 Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 So if you do the "read Vnet config", do all the ECU channels/buttons show up? Its been a long time since I touched a IQ3 but im pretty sure it should find all those channels regardless of whether the ecu is connected/sending data or not. It is basically just reading the config from the adapter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon36 Posted June 15, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2019 Yes, i get all the channels, just no actual info. i can change the information or parameter that is displayed, but everything is just 0. If that makes sense. I can have the engine running and see oil pressure on VTS, however the dash display is 0 with both cables/modules even when strictly following your instructions for the vipec module. I have personally seen this control unit display info on a motec dash so i am sure the vipec is outputting info. Im almost positive this is operator error so i really appreciate your assistance.

leon36 Posted June 16, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2019 Could we possibly do that team viewer thing so you can have a quick look? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adamw Posted June 17, 2019 Report Share Posted June 17, 2019 Yep, my normal hours are 1PM - 9PM NZ time. You can usually get me via the live chat widget on the Linkecu.com webpage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leon36 Posted June 18, 2019 Author Report Share Posted June 18, 2019 Hi Adam, Managed to get them to talk to each other. Used the link cable. After cutting it open I found different wires in number and colour on either end. After a fair bit of measuring I located the can h/l (which were opposite to the help file) connected them up, reread vnet and now I have data. Now to start what looks like a long and laborious task of configuring each channel. One of the new link dash's is still on the agenda. Thankyou very much for your assistance with this, I will be nominating you for a nobel prize. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
