So I had a gearbox clunk when braking, when taking off, when pressing the gas pedal or when I remove my foot from the accelerator. Axle ping I thought. I decided to try and torque the bolt a bit more. I couldn't - I had no driveshaft bolt. It was not installed and that was the reason for the clunks,...

Curious and following. Also, if you have timing issues with the pi, you will have to set GPU and SOC speeds in the config.txt. Some of the GPIO timing is affected by both. Pi4 is the most blatant "offender". I am using the older and slower Pi 3B 1.2 rev, it is generally slower, but I've o...

It's great, but only and only IF you don't buy HD bushing or anything with the name polyurethane in it.

Does anyone have a copy of the Vida without going out to MEGA? I hit the limit and it stopped and I can't get it to start without paying MEGA. Someone with it can put it on an FTP site and solve this issue for the group in a few minutes. Any takers? Here is the magnet link magnet:?xt=urn:btih:1B299...

Imagine the amount of money Volvo can make if they just...sold the parts as cheap as the aftermarket ones.

IO terminal can, and does in fact support all the things I wanted to do, write+read of CEM,ECM(basically anything with a SH7055 chip) as well as immobilizer stuff. Like I said, everything, all the bells and whistles. However as you might expect, it's paid and not cheap. I am not a fan of black boxes...

You don't need dice. You need a CAN controller(with transceiver), and using your favorite tool to send and receive CAN commands. I can share with you my Python tools but they use SocketCAN on Linux. In fact I am writing a fast dumper for exactly Denso(just the ECU). You can think of it as a custom S...

And I am happy to share news, the Dumper I wrote for Denso dumps 256kb of external maps in around 15s, but there is room for improvement and between 10 and 11 bytes could be sent per CAN message and thus save a few more seconds.

Spot on. I just checked with a multimeter, the 5v line does indeed drop to as low as 4.5v during the tranmissions. Luckily I have a little toy for just this occasion.

I have found that..Github repos are not indexed by google very well and all that information is "lost" there. I had to manually search Github to find a lot of interesting Volvo and CAN related repositories that google didnt yield.
