Ok, here is a sneak preview of the windows version of the new S8 software.

UNFORTUNATELY, you wont see much unless you are connected to an S8
and even then you need an upgrade to access all features but this
wont be released until I am ready in the very near future.

For existing users, this will NOT upgrade any software you have
or permit any changes to your ecu maps (deliberate lock out) but allows
you to go online to the ecu IF your software version currently allows it.

This is more of a data link test version as it allows connection to all
windows com ports however they are configured.
The com port issue is probally THE main technical complaint most people
has fed back to me about the existing PC software.

You should be able to log on and display live data at the very least !!!

If you try it on your S8, please lete me know how you got on
with all details of...

Windows version,
Com port set up (Should work on USB to serial converters now )


Here is the link...

This will need unzipping - No special installation requirements needed.

When the final upgrade is available, Most users will be able to perform
the new software installtion by themselves without even opening
up the ecu at all or the need to remove it from the car.


*** I should point out, this is all aimed at EXISTING users of this product.
The ecu is currently not available as a new manufacturer is in the
process of being set up. I cant give a date at this point in time as it
is out of my hands.
