Unul dintre cele mai importante sisteme de monitorizare a parametrilor motorului este dezvoltat de cei de la MegaTunix. Se pare insa ca acest software poate fi folosit doar cu interfata MegaSquirt.
Iata descrierea software-ului de pe site-ul celor de la Megatunix:
“MegaTunix is the only tuning software for Unix (and now Win32) class operating systems that supports all existing megasquirt firmwares. It has been recently redesigned in such a way as to be extensible to support new firmware variants with little to no new code needing to be written. The new design permits the gui tabs that relate to MegaSquirt variables to be redesigned using the Glade GUI designer for windows or Glade gui designer for Unix to change or alter the gui look/feel to accomodate new controls on more advanced firmwares.
This tuning software is capable of the most complete and accurate interrogation of the ECU than any other tuning software out there currently (MegaTune for windows, MS-Palm, MegaSquirtPCC). This advanced interrogation is configurable and provides the most complete detection of the target firmware, (such to prevent mis-detection) and would even allow MegaTunix to work with non-MS hardware though this left up as an exercise for the user.
MegaTunix is developed on Linux (Ubuntu and Gentoo Linux specifically), but does work on all other Linux distros (Assuming the proper libraries are installed), FreeBSD and Mac OS-X (with macports/ darwinports and the necessary support libraries installed) and Win32 platforms.”

VAG-COM will work with most Volkswagen and Audi models sold worldwide from 1994 onwards. It will also work with most late-model SEAT and Skodas sold outside of N. America.See below for full list. It does not work with diesel engines.
If your VW or Audi has a 16pin OBD II style Data Link Connector then VAG-COM will work. If your car has the old 2×2 Data Link Connection check to see if there is a wire going to each pin - if there are 4 wires VAG-COM should work ¨C if there are only 3 it won¡¯t.

What System Requirements do I Need
A PC or laptop that is running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000 or XP. A Pentium 100 (or AMD equivalent) that has 16MB of RAM is recommended. VAG-COM only needs 1MB or less, so availability of disk-space is not a problem.
How to get Started
Download the shareware 409.1 for a free trial or purchase the registered version from the manufacturer¡¯s website:www.ross-tech.com
Run it, follow the prompts and let it install (on your PC or laptop¡¯s hard disk)
Plug one end of the interface into a serial (RS232) (or USB) port on your PC and the other into your car¡¯s OBD II port
Turn on the ignition without starting the engine
Start the VAG-COM programme, click ¡®options¡¯, select the correct communications port and run the test to confirm that the programme is working and can find the interface. Click ¡®save¡¯.
