As the title says:

Is Delta Dash a stand-alone or an add-on option to the basic EcuTek license?

The reason I ask: I currently don't have EM and I have an opportunity to buy a Delta Dash new from someone here for a good price. I'm not sure if I get it if I'll still need to get my ecu flashed or if I can just load the Delta Dash and go. I looked on their website but it didn't really answer my question. Will I still need to purchase a license above and beyond what comes with the new Delta Dash? If not, can I tune with it or will I still need to go to an EcuTek tuner and just use the Delta Dash for logging and real-time analyzing/diagnostics?

Get the new Ecutek system that comes with the Delta Dash license included in the package. /Thread


You can't really tune with it, it's primary purpose is for logging. Granted you can change a few values, but they are not saved once you turn off your car.
The Delta Dash is licensed by a USB or parallel dongle that plugs into your laptop (end-user supplied)

The Delta Dash is independent of an Ecutek tune.

There's no package of such for non-DBW cars. Only available for 04+STI or 06+WRX as of right now.

So how do I know what I am buying? Here is the FS thread:
http://wap.nasioc.com/GetThread.php?t=1054409&f=9&bat=&PHPSESSID=0da947a44de6e16e95c02bdc12c99b87

DeltaDash is not specific to any particular car - the same software works on all cars it supports.

HOWEVER, you should know that it can only be used with three different ECU types. For instance, if it was already used on a 2002WRX, a 2003RS, and a 2005 STI, that means that you will forever have to use it with those three types of ECUs and nothing else, unless you pay ECUTek to reset your license.

I can't read the FS thread cause it's a WAP link and it doesn't seem to work in my browser, but make sure you have it cleared up what you're buying.

It's dangerous buying a DeltaDash like that. You never know whether or not it's license for three different calibration IDs has been consumed.

Personally, I'd go for the $80 Tactrix (www.tactrix.com) and the free ecuExplorer software from Tari (www.tari.co.za). You get all the logging functionality minus the road dyno.

I'd also recommend just getting a tactrix cable and ecuexplorer for basic logging. Maybe not as fancy as DD, but it works and only costs $80 for the cable.

After buying this cable, I gotta say: I should be looking at getting into the cable-making business. At best, about $10 worth of connectors; $5 of wire.

Check out the lastest version of ecuEdit. With nice logging features.. Works with Innovate Widebands.

And a shed load of R&D. Feel free to make your own cable and get the drivers and protocols working.

p.s. There is also electronics inside the connector ensuring proper baud rates and voltage.
