No, you don't. But, I would get an SD card for memory storage. Also,
You need a laptop to configure the data you want to log, then view the data.

You can do BB logging with V2... you just need to setup the V2 first.

Thanks guys, I might need a little direction now and then.....

[joecar]

The first step is to navigate the V2 LCD menu to find the versions of the Bootloader and the Firmware...

start at F4 and go down into the licenses... scroll down and you will see the versions for Bootloader and Firmware.

Welcome to the forum Gameover. V2 BBL is very nice. At this stage it still takes a bit of manual setup, but it's well worth the effort.

Paul is working at giving it a more ease-of-use gui.

OK, the blackbox data logging without the laptop is working perfectly and I actually logged (2)WOT runs and played them back on my PC. Now, 1 more(yeah right) Newbie question!!! I finally fixed my laptop so in order to read a stock tune in any efi live supported vehicle, Does the vehicle have to be ON and running? Or OFF and Ignition in ON position? OR?

Thanks in Advance

OFF and in KEY ON position.

For Roadrunner, either way.
