Does anyone use/have APR's "ECU Explorer"? It seems similar to VAG COM...
I don't see it on their website, but I remember seeing it a while ago. It looks like a really cool program. I was just wondering if anyone had any experience with it.

Its MUCH better for datalogging.
You can log up to 40 parameters at ~14 samples/second (no slowdown).
It doesn't function as a general purpose scan tool like VAG-COM does though.
IMO, having both is key.

One other thing...
Since ECU Explorer reads directly from the ECU rather than over the VAG connection protocols (which is why its so fast), it requires a profile specific to the ECU that you are datalogging.
You have to check with APR and see if they have a profile for your ECU. Last I knew they handn't created any B5 A4 profiles, but that may have changed.
