Title: Revo Select Plus help and confusion
Post by: muckipup on December 24, 2010, 03:58:24 pm: Hi,

I have purchased a Select Plus switch from another forum member and have a couple of question for which I would be grateful for any help and advice.

I can conect to the switch from the USB on my laptop no problem and read the current settings. The problem that I have is that even when the selector is set at '0' and I connect to the car via the switch/laptop link to read the current Revo settings from the ECU, I get this after I click 'Acquire'.....

(https://www.mk5golfgti.co.uk/forum/proxy.php?request=http%3A%2F%2Flh5.ggpht.com%2F_DJyvoGGMXM8%2FTRTAOx71oCI%2FAAAAAAAAAfM%2FIFjm_v-w8A0%2Fs800%2Frevo%2520pic.jpg&hash=a155c1893f871fec08cc7b5c8e5b71117fd27ef7)

Anyone know if this is something I am doing wrong or an incompatibility with my TFSI (Mk2 Octavia)? I have wiggled and checked the connections.

Also the switch has settings of 0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, A, B, C and 9. I get 0 (communication) and A, B, C for the user defined settings but what do Performance 1 & 2 map to and what are the rest of the settings?

I have the user manual but it doesn't really explain this very well imho

Marry Christmas :santa:

Ignition on?

Thanks Chaps,

Yes, the ignition was on and I have been following the most recent user guide and connecting everything in order. I heard about the sticker on the back of the unit but, alas, mine doesn't have one :confused:

Ian - I have software version 1.05 which may suggest older firmware. I'll google it to see how I update the firmware

I hate to be a pain but could someone let me know what that sticker says so I can make up my own.

Thanks :happy2:

I had a similar issue to you when I bought a select plus switch. You will have to send it back to REVO for them to update.

The settings are

0 - Communication
1 - REVO Stock
2 - Generic performance settings. (B6 T2 F9 iirc)
3 - Anti-Theft on (disables accelerator)
4 - Anti-Theft off
A,B,C - user presets

I am in no rush as I won't be disconnecting the battery or losing the settings any time in the near future. JKM let me know the current settings even if I did lose it. In fact, that K04 is a bit of a handful in this weather...probably be a good thing if I had tame settings!!

I'll send it back to Revo and see if some nice person can help.

Have a great Christmas and New Year! :xmassmiley: :santa:
