19 XR25 software

[LH16v]

Hi, some years ago I got an XR25 to USB cable and downloaded some XR25 which allowed me to connect my computer to my R19.

It worked well but I have not used it for some years and I no longer have access to the software.

I downloaded it from this thread:

PC Based XR25 USB Cables

Any idea on when you'll be shipping? The connectors come from china and shipping from there seems to take an age at the minute. I would hope to have the cables in the post within two weeks What version of the application are you using? 1.83. It seems to be the most stable version...

Anyone know where I can get a copy of the sofrware? (I'm aware that it might not work with modern versions of windows)

Thanks in advance

Amazingly it worked....apart from the fonts. Will need to work out how to load the fonts but that is a problem for tomorrow.

Does this software have the capability to do ABS bleed?

Urrm, I have to confess it has been about 9 or 10 years since I last used it and I can’t really remember…. But I am 95% sure it is read only. Only get output from the engine.

I think Chet might still be a bit active on Facebook- he would be able to confirm.

Got it off Chet on the retro-Renault forum back in the day.

There are instructions floating around on how to make them. You can probably order the parts of somewhere like alibaba and put it together yourself.

Alternatively they do pop up on eBay every now and again.

Hi. Have you found a solution, please? Could you share it?

To fix the font issue, unpack and install them by hand from the desktop.
The install script fails on this.

Procedure:
After initial install:
Copy all files in the folder ``"C:\website\clip\fonts"`` to ``"C:\WINDOWS\Fonts"`` and confirm any messages with "OK".
In Windows XP: Install with Control Panel -> Fonts from ``"C:\website\clip\fonts"`` and restart!

The above is required due to a security change. Previously you could copy any font into c:\windows\fonts and it would work.

Sadly this was exploited

I personally use an AutoDia E327 K409 USB to ODB2 Cable (Originally intended for VAG/AUdi, but it needs a firmware patch to flip the K-Line logic. The prodedure is translated from my archive of the broken former german espace-freunde.net forum

...
In order for the diagnostic interface to establish a connection to the control unit together with XR25-PC, the following must be done once:

1. Install FTDI D2XX driver (available here: D2XX Drivers - FTDI
2. Install FT_PROG FTDI EEPROM Programming Utility (available here: Utilities - FTDI)
3. Use the FT_PROG program to establish a connection to the AutoDia interface (click on the magnifying glass) and change the values as follows: under

   FT-EEPROM > Hardware-Specific > Invert RS232 Signals > RXD

   , check the

   Invert RXD

   box (see picture) and reprogram the EEPROM (click on the lightning bolt symbol).
4. Unplug and replug the Adapter!

After that the diagnosis with the XR25-PC should work without any problems.

The original german author Daniel got the idea from this Russian site: http://www.drive2.ru/cars/renault/clio/clio_i/axlamon/journ (not available anymore)

Best regards and have fun diagnosing.

Sorry, missed replying to this.

To be honest I simply have not had time. I see 2 options:

-Try to install windows 7 on a virtual machine (something like Virtual Box) and hope that the USB drivers work.

-Try to find an old laptop that is running Windows 7 and use that.

My car has been off the road for the winter but I need to start thinking about it as we head towards the spring.

I built the cable myself, see my story here:

XR25PC Success

But I don't think it works well on twingo, data is wrong and you can't erase errors . I have a YouTube video about it too. I switched to clip and it's better. I also posted on YouTube.
