How to modify your existing K-Line interface to use

with Galletto 1260?

Galletto 1260 is some handy software to read and write the

mapping related parts of your ecu. It has a broad variety of
supported makes and models, of course it will read and write
Siemens MS42/43, too.

What do you need:

- Supported ecu (obviously!)
- K-Line interface, based on FTDI chipset
- Galletto 1260 software
- MProg3.5
- Hex-Editor
- PC/Notebook
- Windows, best case would be Win XP 32

Modding is pretty easy and straightforward. Galletto 1260 is

normally checking if the interface is supported or not and is
limiting access if you don´t have the original hardware.
With some little modding of either the hardware (interface)
or even better, by modifying the software, we easily can trick
Galletto into believing we are using the original interface.
At first, we need to make shure our K-Line interface is
properly installed. Check this by going into system properties
of your windows machine and make shure you see something
similar as shown below:

If that’s the case, go on and install/open “MProg3.5”. It’s a

pretty nasty software which is possible to modify FTDI based
hardware.
Hit the executable file in the “MProg3.5” folder. It´ll start a
session, under “Tools”, choose “Read&Parse”:
It will now read your connected interface, did I already
mention you should have your interface already connected,
and show some interesting stuff.
By checking “Use Fixed Serial Number”, we are able to set a
new serial number, if we choose to mod the hardware
instead of the software, the latter should be preferred.
Instead of changing that serial, we are going to copy that 8
signs and install Galletto 1260 software.
We need a hex-editor to modify the executable in your
Galletto folder.
Open the “EOBD1260.exe” with your hex-editor and browse
to offset 0x249E90 or search for text string “marca”.

That’s the point to remember the serial number of your

interface and write it into place. Keep in mind i already
modded mine, so you will see something different in the
executable file and you will need to fill some different string.
Final step, save the file after modding and you´re done.
Galletto will now work with your cheapo interface 
