Recovery of Chip Tune in Hondata S200

Post by TurboTeg332 »

Really I having two issues first is it possible to extract a chipped tune onto your PC in order to save fuel and ignition timing and then upgrade to S300.

I want to be able to make adjustments myself but without having it tuned again by these parasitic dealers.

The other issue is I think the Ribbon cable may have failed on my unit as it seemed to be intermittently causing shuttering and random shut offs for years.
Does anyone know where I can find such a Ribbon cable (connect blue Hondata box to main ECU)

Do you have a chip programmer?

We no longer sell replacement parts for the s200. You would be best off upgrading to the s300: https://www.hondata.com/downloads/s300_ ... pgrade.pdf

If you upgrade you must go through a dealer and they should be able to read out the chip for you.

Spunkster,

Thanks for the reply. Sorry for such a late reply, no I do not have a chip burner/programmer but I guess will need one as it is the only way to read the tune and save it to bin file on PC correct? I am exploring just buying my own chip burner/reader although I would only be using it once just to get tune off chip if I upgraded to S300 version.

Is there any significance to this ?

Someone posted this on another forum relating to transferring tune.

I see several option options on this form Hondata tech line said it was 395 to upgrade to S300 but never mentioned if I have boost capabilities now that I'd need boost control (425) also.
I have spoken with several dealers they all say the software is different (car would need be re-tuned they claim) but I have found several instances of people transferring their tunes to S300 themselves. All dealers say they cannot read the tune off chip and transfer it to S300.
If I buy chip burner would I use ROmeditor4 to read the chip or what would I use?

Thanks

A .re4 file can be opened in Smanager. The read binary file must be converted to RE4 in romeditor 4 and then the .re4 file can be opened in Smanger.

So getting the bin file into RE4 and onto SManager sounds fairly easily but is there not still adjustments you must make within SManager to make sure the S200 tune is the same in the SManager platfrom?
Also is it possible to use datalogging cable in order to read the S200 tune to save onto computer or you have to use a chip reader/burner?

Thanks

You cannot use datalogging to do this. It can only be done with a chip programmer.

Read the chip and this is what it saved as. Does anyone know where the fuel table starts?

If I put this binary code into SManager will it know its from an S200 tune?

I tried adding a word and excel file but this keeps saying its an invalid file. Below is first to two pages of code.

Thanks

You will have to open the binary file in Romeditor4 and then save the file as an RE4 file and then import that into SManager.

Do they sell licenses for the software? I'm only using this once and then never again because i will upgrade to S300 once I get this software mess taken care of.
There's a older thread posted on this and it sounds like the Demo of Romeditor4 worked for someone, so did they change something that Demo Romeditor 4 will not work now?

No, this is software that is no longer sold or supported. You will have to find either a dealer or someone sell that still has the software and can do this for you.

Every dealer I have talked to will not do this they always say it needs to be retuned even though it does not need to.

Are there any dealers you know of I could email this binary to and have them do it?

Or perhaps is there someone else that could tell me where fuel table starts the rest I can figure out.
