Hey all, after pouring over the internet for several hours, i have found two guides on how this is done. I got a deal on an emanage blue with ignition and fuel harnesses, a greddy type-s bov and a 28x6x3 FMIC for $250 which i couldn't pass up. The only downside is that the emanage didn't come with the cable.

These are the two guides to make one I have found: The first one is good, shows the importance of finding the TX and RX, but doesn't explain how to use hyperterminal and exactly where each cable goes on the other end of the USB. The second one shows pictures and how the colors match up, but no cable is the same and I doubt I can find the exact same dku-5 cable with the exact same colors that I found in the guide. Can anyone shed some light on this? I keep finding references to mohdparts.com which seemed to have plenty of info. I have been all over the yahoo groups, i have searched on nicoclub, google, and just about everywhere else. I have had luck finding a write-up on yahoo groups, however all of the links and pictures are broken. There is a writeup in the Files section of the emanage yahoo group.

The link to the file is there, but an error gets returned that says 'file not accessible', which I don't understand because these files are hosted on yahoo's servers. It's not like they're hosted somewhere else that could be unreliable. Any help is much appreciated, thanks. Modified by airman86 at 1:29 PM 3/20/2009 Modified by airman86 at 6:09 AM 3/21/2009.

Find best value and selection for your Greddy Emanage Blue USB connectivity cable serial connector search on eBay. World's leading marketplace. Im using the v1.49 version of the support tool but have tried. Ive got an emanage blue, got an old laptop with a serial port. The usb to serial.

100% positive. With the pressure sensor and the ignition harness harness for the EM you can pull timing and add fuel based on boost pressure. It's a decent system but has all the same drawbacks of any other piggyback system.

The bad thing when I used it 4 or 5 years ago was price. By the time you purchased the box, harness, ignition harness, pressure sensor, software and cable. You were almost up to half the cost of a stand alone. I'm sure by finding used parts now you can get up and running much cheaper. I've got the cable wired up.

I know the cable is working because of a successful loopback test with hyperterminal (touch the tx and rx wires together). Model pembelajaran kooperatif pdf. However, something that has bothered me since i have gotten this unit is the 'interaction' light stays on, regardless of whether or not it's hooked up to a PC. I haven't found a -clear- answer if this is normal or not anywhere online. Anyways, i can make the interaction light blink when it's hooked to the computer. All that has to be done is connect to it using hyperterminal, and start mashing keys.

Blinky lights. Occasionally i'll get some strange acscii characters back from the emanage showing that it's supposedly working. However, support tool will not pick it up. I've tried every type of setting available (even tried changing com ports even though I know it's com1) with no dice.

The emanage is outside of the car, with only 12v and ground run to it. Perhaps it needs to be in the car first before it will talk to a emanage? Much help appreciated. The usb port on the emanage blue is technically a serial interface.

It has a TX, an RX, and a ground. It may work better with a usb to serial converter (as seen in the guides i made in the OP), because it looks like a straight through cable doesn't seem to work (either that or this unit is busted). The interaction light stays ON even though nothing is connected to it. I've found a few threads online talking about this case and i think their units are working fine. Anyways, i have a USB to serial converter in the mail (i found one on ebay that looks just like one i saw on someone's personal website who makes and sells these cables) and i'll be giving it a shot once it gets here. You are right about a plain 'usb to serial' won't work, as in flipping it around, plugging the usb end into the emanage and the serial end into a computer.

Not sure how familiar you are with the Emanage's history, but initially, when Greddy released it, they did not sell the cable and tool to retailers with the intent of resale to consumers end user). In fact, they were only released to authorized installers who would be capable of providing tuning services. They also limited the number of tools they would sell to a particular shop. This made getting your hands on the tool as a consumer difficult. Mohdparts.com was probably the best known website to be able to get the Greddy or cloned cables and the software from. They were very cheap when I got mine from them as well. It appears they are no longer operating the site.
