Questions About Viewing BMW Bosch DME Data

Post by Tjabo »

Hi guys, long time no see!

Lately I have been using a cool little program called Test-O written by a member of the bimmerforums, "pheno" to log some data from the Bosch DME M5.2 ECU in my 540i. It is working well for logging, and MLV HD does an excellent job of showing the data. I've uploaded/attached a datalog, and I'll also include a screen shot at the bottom.

The two problems I'm having are:

1) The time code at the bottom of the viewer needs to be divided by 1000, and I can't seem to find where to add that factor...

2) The log contains a Vehicle Speed trace in KPH, but when I enter the rest of the required info to calculate HP, Accel HP, or HP KPH, and reload the log, I still don't see those options popping up for me to choose to view.

I'm pretty sure this is user error on my part as usual, so if anyone can push me in the right direction I appreciate it immensely! :)

Thanks!!!

MLV HD will need to have proper mapping for that file format set up.

Ok, thanks Phil, will do!

I do hope to get back in the MS3 fold here sometime fairly soon with this car, maybe shortly after the DIY BOB comes out for the 88pin connector to the DME. For now though, I'm dog paddling around through the murky waters of Boschness... Lol. Maybe I'll learn something? :lol:

Email sent. Thanks Phil!
