Link EMX programmer anyone?

Post by **zorruno** » Fri Jun 15, 2007 12:43 pm

I'm in need of a loan of a handheld programmer or similar for a Link Electrosystems EMX model ECU.

I don't know much about the various Link ECU types, but I believe this was one of their very early models.

Any other leads or info such as whether it hook to a PC etc would be useful too...

Thanks to anyone who can help
cheers

I have the handheld programmer you can borrow as well as a laptop,
datalog lab and the bits to connect them.

C - thanks muchly. What does the EMX mean do you know? Will the
handheld suit this model?

Sorry Howard - have been offline for a couple of days.

Im unsure what the EMX stands for (but Ill do some googling) - the handheld is the standard link unit that is used by all the ECU's. The pins on the connector are something like 1.5cms wide and two pins high.

I also have the standard Link controller that connects to a laptop via the same connectors.

Anyway I have it here and you are welcome to borrow it.

Give me a call if you like 021461330 - would be nice to catch up anyway.

ahh - just found it on wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Link_ElectroSystems Im not sure if it will use the handheld as it looks like it would pre-date most of the features. Either way you are welcome to have a play and see if its fits anywhere.

I dont know if you have it in the car at the moment or not. If not - Im thinking that this could be A LOT of work - you may get a better result with a emanage bule with a lot less trouble and more importantly less exposure to a bad tune.

Thanks C - it is not in my MX5, it is in a custom built 4WD (a friend's
offroad beast). I should have googled first... it looks like the
handheld won't work on the EMX as it was their first model.

Thanks anyway - still have to catch up sometime though...!

Cheers
