Greetings - First Post.
I use an Actron 9175 for diagnostics on my 2001 Subaru Forester. I'd like to do some gentle tweaking of the parameters and see if I can improve performance.
IS IT POSSIBLE to use the Actron as an interface box between ECUFlash and the on-board ECU by connecting to the 9175's serial port and using an approved USB adapter ?
It makes sense that, since the Actron reads and resets, it has a direct line to the Subaru ECU - but it lacks the sophistication of the ECUFlash software to do much else.
Am I out in left field here ?
Thanks in advance
