You might be able to access the Audi ECU, however I am not sure if there is anyone in your area that makes use of a CDR tool that would be willing to try this, you would need to find someone in your area that uses the CDR and ask them if they are willing to assist. In short, the answer is yes, a speed can be calculated or gleaned from either the crush or the on-board information, you just have to gather the necessary info, in particular you will need to find someone with a CDR and check and see if they can access the system. You will obviously need to have the necessary permission etc. 31646010-31918384 Fri, 30 Oct 2009 06:03:04 GMT http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=121527&p=3&topicID=31676870 I would like you to try Calc Zone. I have purschased this software and i liked the report section on it. You can take it for a spin for 15 days. The report section is what sold me on this software. http://calczonepro.com/ 31676870-31676870 Mon, 19 Oct 2009 22:17:37 GMT http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=121527&p=3&topicID=30920158 thanks! 30920158-31536757 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:57:23 GMT http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=121527&p=3&topicID=31032541 Noted, but im not willing to leave it at that, id rather incur the cost now and start using it to learn and grow, it will no doubt become accepted here and expand internationally as this information becomes accepted and as we all know, can be critical to determining various factors. We have to try stay in touch with development, Thanks anyhow. 31032541-31536678 Tue, 13 Oct 2009 16:54:56 GMT http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=121527&p=3&topicID=30699318 The program looks like it is very well done.  Anyone know how much it costs? 30699318-31203980 Mon, 28 Sep 2009 16:57:35 GMT http://www.activeboard.com/forum.spark?aBID=121527&p=3&topicID=30299498 Thanks for the input to all of you.
