I tried an old ELM327 (old firmware version) with no success... perhaps it does not do the 5-baud init, but I must confess that I did not tried too hard :) The ABS unit is a TRW, I think that common with other Fiat/Alfas, so it should be feasible to communicate with it, although I've not tried

Excellent guide, thanks for taking the time to put it all together :) Regards, Javier

I will hijack the thread only to let you know that yesterday my seat lost the memory (battery too low when I entered the car and tilted the seat... once restored battery, easy-entry no longer working) and the tilt reset procedure worked :) Regards, Javier

I'm not too familiar with iPhone, buth ELM327 bluetooth uses the seria port profile, that I think that it is supported (it is one of the more basic and old), but of course you would need the application to talk to the ELM327 and encode/decode the protocol and provide an user i/f :)

Yes, I suffered this one. In my case, CEL appeared from time to time, and usually went off after stoping and restarting the car. The error code, however, gets stored so it can be read even if the cause is no longer there. If you have cleared the error, and CEL comes again, you can check if it is...

Forgot to add: this does not implicate that the brakes does not function, simply that the switch has two sections, routed to several subsystems: brake lights, ECU, ABS, transmission... if the system detects a malfunction in the swtich (i.e. sees one section as pressed and the other section as...

Hello, P1665 is a failure in the brake pedal switch. The brake pedal switch is unexpensive and very easy to replace (you even do not need a tool for that purpose). You can also remove it and try to clean the contacts. I can confirm it, I suffered this one ;) Regards, Javier

Yes, it sounds more like a deffective batch. But the description of the effects sounds scary :)

Will work, but if no started, revs will stay at 0 ;)

lol I was spooled by the idea of paying 3000 EUR for a turbo, that was something I was finding not acceptable. And my google is one of the best in the world! ;)

Conaero, the rear light conversion will not provide the turbo's boost ;)

I did experienced a fatal failure in one of the turbos... (someday I will post the pictures of the post-mortem), however the price of the repair with an original IHI turbo replacement, same to those at Formula Dynamics, was less than the replacement of a turbo in a Audi A4 2.5TDI (I have a...

They are the same IHI part number I posted there, some months ago. The unit that I purchased is the original part (it has also the Maserati p/n engraved in). Price is almost the same :) although I purchased it from a German company

I see... but I've found that this is a Nissan description, and since it is a manufacturer-specific code, is it also the same for the Maser? (I'm referring to the P1226)

Nothing to sorry, I did understood that the Leonardo includes all! It is also priced accordingly, as per their web page :) I've not checked the price for reading the codes at a dealer... but I get the idea :)
