Are you using a Tunercat Obd2 cable for automotive diagnostics and performance tuning? Finding the right logging software is crucial to get the most out of your setup. If you’ve been searching for effective and updated software to pair with your TunerCat OBD2 cable, especially if you are using an AVT 852 interface, your search ends here. We’re excited to announce the latest update to the ADX logging software, designed to enhance your TunerCat OBD2 experience.
This updated ADX software brings several key improvements, streamlining your logging process and adding valuable features. Let’s delve into what’s new and how these updates can benefit your car tuning and diagnostic endeavors.
What’s New in the Updated ADX Software?
This latest version of the ADX software is packed with enhancements designed to offer greater flexibility and functionality for TunerCat OBD2 users. Here’s a breakdown of the key updates:
- Combined 1X and 4X Connection: Forget about managing separate versions for different connection speeds. The updated software now allows you to seamlessly switch between 1X and 4X connection macros within a single version. This provides greater convenience and adaptability for various vehicle systems and diagnostic needs. Simply select your desired connection speed from the drop-down menu.
- Wideband Input Support for AVT 852: For users of the AVT 852 interface equipped with ADC, wideband input support has been integrated. This is a significant addition for those monitoring air-fuel ratios for performance tuning or diagnostics. If your AVT 852 already has ADC enabled, you can directly connect your wideband sensor to channel 1. For those who need to enable ADC, it might be possible to add the necessary components, although specific details can vary depending on your AVT 852 revision.
- Basic DTC Gathering Support: Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) gathering is now supported, allowing you to retrieve basic fault codes directly within the software. This feature, while in its early stages, provides a convenient way to check for and read DTCs, aiding in diagnosing vehicle issues.
Getting Started with the Latest Version
Utilizing the new features is straightforward. Here’s a quick guide to get you up and running:
Switching Between 1X and 4X Connection:
To alternate between 1X and 4X connection speeds, simply locate the “Connection Command” drop-down box within the software interface. From there, you can choose either “CONNECT 1X MACRO” or “CONNECT 4X MACRO” depending on your requirements. This flexibility ensures compatibility and optimal performance across different vehicle systems.
Setting Up Wideband Input:
If you’re leveraging the wideband support with your AVT 852 and ADC, connect your wideband sensor to channel 1. You may need to adjust the formula for the wideband value to match your sensor’s range. The default formula is set to: (((22.39-7.35)/255)*X)+7.35. You can customize the range numbers within this equation to accurately reflect your wideband sensor’s specifications.
Using DTC Gathering:
To use the DTC gathering feature, navigate to your FAULT CODES item list in the software. Then, execute the fault code macro from the send command toolbar. Be aware that due to the way TunerPro handles incoming packets, this feature is a basic implementation and may exhibit some quirks. It can read up to four DTCs at a time. If you clear codes, it’s important to close and reopen TunerPro before checking codes again to ensure accurate readings.

Explore the DPID Version for Enhanced Performance
For users seeking optimized data packet handling, a DPID version of the ADX software is also available. This version is designed to load PIDs into 3x 6-byte DPIDs and requests each DPID packet in turn. This method reduces the number of packets read per cycle, potentially improving logging efficiency, especially with tools like aldldroid on AVT-852 with an Android OTG cable.
