Hey when you load a rom into ecuflash it comes up with all of the parameters on the left side. How come when you click on a map it will say (The current map description is invalid or incomplete. Please edit the map description to fix the problem and the map will be viewable again.)
I don't want to edit the map I just want to see the map. Do I need to see the map? I can see some of the maps with the OSECU stage map but I can't see any of the map with the xpt stage maps.

Ecuflash doesn't have XML files (descriptors) for all ECU revisions. Try Enguinity.

So thats ok if you can't see them.

Thanks

Open the appropriate OSECU stage map for your ECU in Enginutity. Go to the ROM properties view using View -> filename Properties. Note the Internal ID value and its storage address. Open a copy of your xpt stage ROM using a hex editor (I use the free one at http://www.chmaas.handshake.de/). Change the value at the storage address noted above to match the Internal ID value noted above. Now you can open your modified xpt ROM copy in Enginuity and be able to see and compare its maps with stock ROM maps and OSECU stage maps.

I'm sorry I think you just went way over my head with the hexeditor thing.
I was all good until I loaded the xpt map to the hexeditor. then all I saw was code. Was I supose to load the map into the program? Was I in the wrong program? I did'nt see anywhere I could change the address or ID.

It's not at all straight forward... You really need to know what you're doing to use a hexeditor.

Since you paid for it, I'd ask the vendor for support.

well I gess I'll have to start doing my homework then.
Thanks for all your guys help.
