ECUFix Has Been Updated to v6.2.1.0

ECUFix Has Been Updated to v6.2.1.0

ECUFix has been updated to Version 6.2.1.0
This version adds support for a SEAT Ibiza 1.8T 150HP and also adds a few changes to the way it searches for binary information behind the scenes. The code remains to be able to run reliably on Windows 10.

This new ECUFix features a new licensing wrapper so hopefully be free of any "false triggers" with most of the anti-virus scanners out there.

If this has whetted your appetite, the new version can be downloaded direct from ECUFix's product page or from the download directory HERE.

UK BT to RJ11 for Draytek VOIP modems

Got a VOIP modem with an RJ11 socket?

If you are lucky enough to have either a wireless or cable connection to the internet, you can almost undoubtedly save money on line-rental by getting rid of your landline and move over to VOIP instead.

However, in the UK we have BT 431A plugs and most modems/adapters have RJ11 sockets on them. Therefore an adapter is needed but which one?

STOP Press - I found this useful post here - It shows us that the middle two pins (3 and 4) are line 1 and the next two pins (2 and 5) are line 2.

Speaking from my experience with my Draytek 2820Vn router you need to choose a crossover type. The information about how to connect a BT designed device to these things is difficult to find, mainly because you don't know what to type into the Google search box!

Useful information I found is available to browse HERE, with the most important paragraph being the last one. It states that pins 2 and 3 of the RJ11 plug need to be crossed-over to connect to pins 3 and 2 of the BT plug/socket. Similarly, pins 4 and 5 need to be crossed-over and connected to pins 5 and 4 of the BT plug/socket.

To quote the web-site: "NORMALLY the center two pins on the RJ11 are connected to the outer two (2 and 5) at the BT end.  No matter what coloured wire is used the two wires always go to pins 2 and 5 at the BT end however it isn't safe to assume they ALWAYS go to the center two at the RJ11 end."




Just to test, I ordered this from eBay - search for a "BT Socket to RJ11 Plug 4 Pin UK Telecom Telephone Phone Cable Adaptor Converter" and you shouldn't go far wrong.

For some nice VOIP information, have a look at this article and this one too for Draytek related information.

ECUFix Has Been Updated to v6.1.0.0


ECUFix has been updated to Version 6.1.0.0



This version adds support for a SEAT Exeo 1.8T 150HP and also adds a few changes to the way it searches for binary information behind the scenes. The code also has been slightly modified to run reliably on Windows 10.

We are working behind the scenes on the next version of ECUFix and have back-ported some of the new code features into this v6.1.0.0 version. The new ECUFix will feature a new user-friendly licensing feature and also hopefully be free of any "false triggers" with most of the anti-virus scanners out there.

If this has whetted your appetite, the new version can be downloaded direct from ECUFix's product page or from the download directory HERE.

ECUFix has had a Small Problem with its Database....

Oh dear,

I am very careful in backing up my source-code and keeping it safe and secure. The same goes for the web-site code too..... However, guess who forgot to perform a backup on his MySQL database?!!!

Found a backup from August 2015 which has now been loaded but what a mess! AGH!

Oh dear, oh dear.....
