** The items highlighted in blue are direct links to the referenced items, you may click on them to perform the listed action.

This tutorial is also available on our channel HERE

The first step will be to download the needed software from the TwEECer website. You will need to download the following items:

• Borland Database Engine (BDE)• CE132 (TwEECer software) Name has been changed from RT132, so substitute CE132 anywhere

you may see RT132 referenced in images.

Make sure to note where these files are saved, normally this would be your Download folder or Desktop, but depends on your Web Browsers settings. Some versions of Windows have security settings that will not allow for unsigned/unknown software to be downloaded. The driver install will give the end user the most fits, as there is an important step required before it will allow the driver to be installed. Please visit our YouTube channel (link is above) for videos specific to Windows 7, 8.x and 10.

Driver Installation

At this point you should have the BDE and the latest CalEdit/CalCon installed to your PC and are ready to install the driver needed to communicate with the TwEECer.

The Driver MUST be installed before using CalEdit. This requires that you connect the TwEECer module to your PC, the EEC from the vehicle is NOT needed here. Just connect the TwEECer to the USB cable and then the USB cable to your PC.

64bit versions of Windows 7 and later will require that the end user manually install the driver for the TwEECer. Please see page 12 for details regaring this process.

Please locate and plug in the USB cable that shipped with the TwEECer and plug the cable into an available USB port on your PC. Next, connect the TwEECer to the cable.

Windows MIGHT notify you that it has “Found New Hardware” and will begin trying to install a driver

You may see a message that the driver software was not installed or the screen below

Click on the Locate and Install driver software (recommended) option

BDE Install Notes

In some instances, the BDE has problems with Vista & Windows 7 security and you may need to adjust a few parameters using the BDE Administration utility which installs with the BDE. This can be accessed from the control panel. If you are running a 64bit version of Windows, look for the View 32bitControl Panel Icon on in the list of icons in the Main Control Panel window.

Optionally, you can use the Start Search opton on the Start button, just type in BDE and it will show you the icon as a choice in the results list

Install Guide.odt - 13 - 5/11/2018

The primary issue is that the root of your boot drive, usually by default C:\, is not accessible to the BDE for writing and you need to change the NETDIR variable in the configuration. Create a TEMP folder on the root of C:\ and change the NETDIR variable to that folder.

You may also see an error message “An error occurred while attempting to initialize the Borland Database Engine (error $210D)”. If you get this error, change the SHAREDMEMORYLOCATION value to 5BDE.

*** The BDE is written circa 1997 when Hard disk drives (HDD) had just a fraction of the storage of todays HDD. The BDE will report that there is not enough space on most drives manufactured after 2000. You can ignore this and any other error reported during the install of BDE.
