Nice, where abouts did you pick this up?
-
here's how to DIY the connector to the back of the headunit...

This might be handy too, if you want to DIY

Oh, I was meaning a connector for the ecu etc to run something like that btssm thing or the torque apps. Like the tactrix thing, never looked into it until now
Just noticed this is in I.C.E haha oh well
I'm using something similar to this with BTSSM...
also have this ODBII adapter to relocate the vagcom/obd2 connector under the dash...

Karl, if you continue to have no luck, the below is what fixed my hard 2nd -> 3rd shift... $10 for the cable and borrowed a laptop. Hook it up, run the program, go into the Transmission section, clear the memory, done.
You can also do this yourself with a TCU reset using FreeSSM and a simple USB vagcom cable. Not a new PAK file, but your TCU will relearn shifts hopefully clearing any hard shifts.

Awesome, for anyone running an android tablet in their Subaru, I've gotta recommend the app BTSSM (you'll need a $10 USB vagcom cable to connect to your OBDII port). It's fantastic for monitoring/logging/gauges.

Good video for this thread:
(note: he gets light speed travelling through different mediums around the wrong way, fast vs slow)

Yeah, what updates do these PAK files include? Are they solely for the TCU?

I haven't read too much about it but these might be interesting...
Tuning line pressure?

i'm going to get the btssm app, but having issues finding an otg cable in nz that wont charge like $20 for shipping
NZ$3 from these guys (I've tested this one, works ok):
Or $4:
Also, depending on your device, this will allow both OTG devices and charging at the same time. I also have this, works fine with Nexus 7 and Nexus 5:
Search on ebay for something like 'Charging Data Cable USB Type A Female to Micro USB Male OTG + Micro USB Female Y'. It cost me NZ$1.11

Like kwi_fozze said, they won't flash the ECU but the one I have can perform ECU/TCU resets as well as read data/log. RomRaider/FreeSSM work but for really fast updating monitoring, BTSSM is the only way (Android app - www.btssm.com).
My cable is like this one, I bought it years ago though so I have no idea if anything has changed in the way they're made etc.

1. Connect cable to car
2. Configure cable with FreeSSM
3. Select Transmission
4. Select "Clear Memory 2"
5. Drive car, car relearns shift points.

Pharnos, did you do the Nexus 7 tablet install into your car? Is this documented anywhere?
Yeah I'm working on a post about it here:

This is a diagram of how I've connected everything.

Anyone know where to grab this stuff these days online?
I've bought it from Winger Greenlane and North Shore in Auckland before, they'll most probably ship it?

That's an ok price to save pissing about with the wiring yourself _b

I didn't want to pay for an adapter like:
http://www.world-beatsonic.com/audiovideo_cables/avc9-subaru-aux-input/
Audio input cable to provide 2 x RCA external inputs to the factory sound system.
Connect MP3, Smartphone, iPod etc. to factory audio.
Connects via 8-pin plug behind audio head unit.
“T-harness” with 50cm cable length.
Suitable for McIntosh and Premium Sound systems.
Made in Japan.
Compatible with Subaru vehicles:
Legacy (May 2006 – May 2009)
Outback (May 2006 – May 2009)
So I looked at making this connection myself.
This is for a non-McIntosh headunit - I'm not sure if the McIntosh has a similar setup? Also it's for a facelift BP/BL model so there may be some differences (I guess at least you need an AUX button on your headunit). Anyway, I got this installed last night so thought I'd put together this how-to for anyone else looking at embarking on this without shelling out for expensive adapters.
I think the greatest discovery was finding the rainbow ribbon cable wires fit directly into the factory i85 connector!

Another BP5 find...
I noticed this small grate in the centre armrest console/storage box. Sliding it back and forth opens a vent to the rear ducted aircon! This is now a little cooler box, rad.

Its more the target boost thats an eye opener... targeting 25 psi at 1000 rpm... thats where the td will be going mental because of the boost error. Target boost map should be scaled to take in to account boost threshold....
True, although would it ever target 25psi at 1000rpm? Looking at the Target Boost table it'd only target 25psi at 1000rpm if the requested torque value is 425+
The most aggressive RequestedTorque table (Sport#) has a RequestedTorque value of 425+ at the RPM of 2800+ with an Accelerator Pedal Angle of 80%+
So going by that it'd only attempt to target 25psi if RPM is 2800+ and pedal angle is 80%+?
It does seem a bit basic to me, gotta be more to it to tune the 3 Si-Drive modes better?
