    How to use Tactrix Openport 2.

    0 to tune vehicles

    Since heat discussion and confusion are hit over Tactrix then I have decided to write up
    a little tutorial guide of how to use the Tactrix Openport 2.0 cable with the ECU
    FLASH.
    I’ve got an OpenPort 2.0 recently purchased from obd365, a Toshiba laptop running
    Win XP mode, and a pair of Kingston 4GB micro SD cards. By the way, I have a 2007
    Subaru WRX running 289,000 miles.

    Here we go:
    1) Download and install the latest beta driver in this page:

    http://www.tactrix.com/index.php?opt…d=44&Itemid=65

    2) Plug the Tactrix Openport cable into the vehicle’s OBD2 16 pin socket
    3) Insert the software CD into the computer and run software. Select “Licensing” under
    “Help” item on the ECU Flash menu program.

    4) The new software will automatically update the firmware and logging capable
    software. Wait patiently until the upgrade process complete. Then disconnect the cable
    from the diagnostic socket.

    5) Reconnect the Tactrix cable with your vehicle and insert a Micro SD card to your
    computer. Make sure your SD has enough space for the log file and had better format
    the SD card. If the window pops out a message, close it.

    6) Move to the logging interface, paste C:\Program


    Files\OpenECU\EcuFlash\samples\logging onto the program after run the software.
    Copy all the related files to your Micro SD card and rename it. This file is similar to a
    definition file which allows the tactrix to communicate in the ECU’s native tongue. Since
    there are a few different types of ECU’s that are compatible; you do need to copy the
    appropriate one to it.

    7) Now run your vehicle and start logging.


    While the car is off plug it in. Run car and enjoy logging!

    I did a test reflash with the BRZbeta EcuFlash my stock .bin file and the Tactrix
    OpenPort 2.0 wrote to the ECU ok. Took about 98 seconds to write the ROM. Current
    ROM definitions look quite usable. I have not changed idle or DBW settings so I can
    assess former changes without having increased perceived acceleration by reducing
    pedal travel.
