loading a map

[Ben C]

hi there newbie alert
ive been sent a base map for my s40 ecu, can some one give me a guide on how to load it into the software so i can load it on to the ecu, i cant seem to work it out.
many thanks for any replys

It is pretty straightforward.

Have you actually managed to get a laptop connected to the ecu yet ? If you're online with the ecu, then it's just a case of selecting the file you want to load, and doing it really.

no not yet i was just trying to get it into the software first, do i have to delete the map thats onit already or will the one i want on it just overwrite it

It just gets overwritten.

click on "file" in the top left corner then click on "open (upload map from disc)" and make the route correct so the software looks in the correct location of your new map ( your new map might be stored on another drive or in a document folder, not necessarily in the DTASwin folder)
You can practice this first by working offline, you can save the map then in the correct location, ie MAPS folder within DTASwin, then when you're confident you can upload it to your ecu when you connect to it for real with the power applied.

Hope this helps,

Martin.
