Driver Galletto 1260 Windows 7 6
Qiana Castagna
Solution: The galletto 1260 is aimed at the Bosch EDC16C31 ecu which stamped on the label outside the ECU. If you want to program other ECUs, this cable will not work. If galletto is able to program your ECU, then the driver is faulty or misconfigured or the cable is bad or user error.
Problem: Plug the galletto 1260 cable into the vehicle OBD port, the red light flashes, then connect the USB to a rather old laptop and configure the device. When try to read ECU, the system report an error after 4 minutes.
I'm going to try this on windows 98 with the no-longer-supported VAG cable drivers. My tuning laptop is an old thinkpad with a serial port that's needed for most other ecu and NO software on it that isn't for tuning, so it's pretty quick for what it is. If it doesn't work I will have to steal the wife's work laptop that runs vista. VAG cable has a USB connector on the end, not serial (I saw both on ebay).
EDIT: windows 98 drivers installed, VAG cable comes up as a USB controller in the device manager, not a COM port. When choosing "read ecu" in ecuflash 1.29a it does not connect, same errors as below. I will attempt to find a windows XP laptop and try again.
I ended up reading a bunch on on this website and romraider.com I downloaded the driver from the ftdichip website. After downloading the drivers (go here), I connected the cable & let device manager find it. I restarted my computer, reconnected the cable, and everything seems good to go. I think someone even mentioned windows update fixed it for them.
At first, my pc didnt detect the cable, after a lot of fiddling and many hours search the net. . . i unscrewed the casing on the 1260, disconnected the cable from the board and reconnected. now my pc detects the cable and it automatically searched and installed the drivers.
my pc is running vista, having searched the net ive discovered the software best works with xp, ive since uninstalled the drivers as windows had used existing drivers, not drivers that came with the disc. and ive selected the program (new serial) to run in XP compatability mode. ive not since tried it again but hoping to get onto it this afternoon. is there anything else that could be causing this issue? ive also massaged blacksmoke with the intention of buying a map file from them asking for helps and advice but ive had no response
