.bin file Hex reading

Postby Flam89 » Sun May 29, 2022 2:36 pm

Hi,

After writing and saving my cluster files to my HD I wasn't sure how to interpret the information in revel-Prog's software. I have attached 4 cluster files, I have to adjust the odometer reading in each one. Can you advise where on the forum I can get assistance with this or where in RevelProg's literature I can educate myself?

It will be hard to guess where ODO information is stored and how it's encoded. The best solution is to find some software or calculator for your car. In this type of software you can import your file (which you have read from memory) and change it in easy way. There are also specialists on automotive forums where for small or higher fee (it depends on car and difficulty level) they will change your file to requested value (and then you can write back this modified file to chip). Please check e.g. Tacho soft, I know from customers that you can find this soft in internet and it has quite big database for cars.

Thanks for that information ArT,

While I am trying to learn how to do the job myself, I'll also try to find a contractor. I'm not that clever and my head is dizzy trying to figure everything out. I know this is all standard stuff for the experienced people, but your help is seriously appreciated.

If you have a recommendation for a contractor that'd be great, but no foul if not.

Thanks again

Flam

Thanks ArT for offering to put me in contact with somebody.

The car is a 2014 Toyota FJ Cruiser.

I have the correct dump file from a US mph cluster, and the dump file from my AU kph cluster
Both have the S93A86 eeprom

I can read and write to the US and AU clusters.

I have copied the US file into the AU cluster; The speedo, rev and distance travelled work, but some of the gear position lights are not coming on when the gear stick is in position (automatic) and some dash lights may not be working correctly, I can't tell becasue some are warning lights.

So the point is to reconfigure tacho from mph to kmh or to change mileage?
Could you share both files? Have you tried to compare both files? If you would like to change mph to kmh you need to find where information about units is stored, if there are not many differences you can try modyfing dump step by step as long as you observe that units have changed.
