PCM bench programming cable Does such a thing exist that allows a PC to be directly connected to a PCM and be reprogrammed? So it doesn't need to be in the car?
Ed, Steve, and the other big-name tuners must have something they use for mailorder PCM's.

Re: PCM bench programming cable yep, not any ready-made units out there I am aware of - AKM cables would be the only place I could think of, but you would probably have to bribe andrew with lots of money <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" /> as he is pretty busy with other stuff I believe.
You can definitely make your own and it isn't that difficult - the hardest part is probably getting the proper connectors for the pcm (alternatively you could just manually insert the pins each time).

It's a nice cable, but i built my own 6 months ago before i found these guys. Hope this helps.

Re: PCM bench programming cable I don't make them anymore, but here's a picture of the last one I made:

FYI, the LS1 connector can be purchased as GM part number 12167308 - that contains the metal shell, white inserts, and a pair of the blue, black, red, and clear connectors. To cover both the blue and the red connectors, you have to buy 2 of these kits.
Edit: You may wonder why all the switches. One is for power, one is for ignition, and the two in the middle allow the user to toggle between 97-98 PCMs and 99-02 PCMs (which puts power / ground on different pins).
