Scrotus Member 156 Member For: 18y 1m 12d Gender: Male Location: Adelaide Posted 27/09/08 12:36 PM Author Posted 27/09/08 12:36 PM I set it to Xcal2 and entered code HACCE, though it does say you dont need code if it is connect to car. I changed the program run in Compatable XP mode, and turned user auth accounts off. Once I did this the Flash box now beeps when I push Start data logging and says ACTIVE, then drops out and the laptop says DEVICE LINK FAILED or something! ! !! BFHOON - Did you use windows Vista?

I followed all instructions to the letter and it still wouldn't work. I spoke to my tuner and he reckoned he might have to unlock something in the box itself.... I never bothered getting him to do it....Let us know if you get a definite answer.

Just ran in XP compatabile mode, User accounts ON ( was off - but should be off SCT site says) and Run AS admin. How do you work out Air fuel ratio? I also tried desired boost and says im boosting to 22lbs - think I have a leak somewhere. My BOV has been very loud the last week too.
