Ok great. I downloaded the exe file and clicked on it. Unfortunately mine is hanging up while trying to load the Visual C++ lib. It will start , hourglass will blink a few times and then just sit there I'm assuming this is the software client that they advise you to download before purchasing any subscriptions.
Software isn't my forte any suggestions?

Update it finally loaded on the third try after running all night.
Yeah I believe it attempts to load the Visual C++ libraries in the background if the computer doesn't have them installed already but doesn't give a good indication of what is happening.
 
Hello everyone, Have any of you already purchased one of these software packages? What did it do for you? I'd love to hear your feedback.
Welcome to LT Remi! LT is US centric with members from all over the world. The majority of our members using 20/20 would be using FED versions vs ROW and mostly for Evoras. Who knows maybe one of our ROW members might have used it and will chime in.

Those files are calibration and firmware for the engine control module (ECM). It is not software for your PC. You need them if you need to program a brand new, uncalibrated control unit.
 
So Lotus 20/20 works for clearing and reading codes, SimplyLotus has a wifi dongle that basically does the same thing, but doesn't fully work on older S1 lotus cars yet, and it sounds like reading, modifying, and flashing OEM ECU's isn't impossible.

One of my goals is a higher revving but still NA Evora. I really don't want to screw around with aftermarket ECU's, I've done that song and dance too many times already.

I'll dig more into @alcantor's flashing github with a friend who knows a lot more.

I think the 20/20 is more versatile than that. You would have to read up on it but one member recently used it to flash his ECU

From what I was told by one of the Tunners is the redline is hard coded and not adjustable on the stock ECU. That is the main reason I went the MoTec route. Maybe @shinoo can verify? If that is the case you are stuck with a piggy back or replacement.

I've confirmed that is not the case. How does your Motec handle the factory dash, or does it?

Runs the factory dash/systems no issues. You would not know there is a different ECU in the car. The 1 thing that is not working yet is the TPMS. This is with the coding provided by Calibrated Performance.
 
Hello,
I do not have any dealers (good ones) that can program a new cluster onto the 2013 Evora S and I need to get it programed as the new cluster does not have GSI and has not been configured to the LHD. Will this allow me to do it myself? I have a Tactrix I got on AliExpress, and it works flawlessly on my Subie. I might get one for Evora, plus whatever I might need. An updated list of what I need might help. Win10 laptop, Tactrix, program...
 
Looks like registration has closed, and any links related to 20/20 fail to open. So no chance to get anywhere, even for those wanting to pay.
 
They have made a real mess of it but the application has been rebuilt, moved to a different set of web addresses and uses a new way of logging in now.
I think it has all been brought under geely/link&co now
 
maybe it works for those already registered on the old page. when I click on create independent account, it just says "registrations closed" in huge letters.
I want to install 20/20, since my nearest dealer (JUBU) is 350km away and they are always very busy, it takes weeks to get an appointment in.

Odd. I see this when I click Register Independent

yup, that's the one... and I don't see emailing them would net much effect 😂
They might just have to manually register you via the details you provide via email. I do recall when they transitioned to this site, there was some sort of account conversion from the old 20/20 site, so maybe that whole process is being refactored.
