Yes....you're correct. But...Craig Moates has suggested that the ribbon setup causes interference within the unit and is working on a fix.
I've had no more issues since removing mine.
i dont really think its the connector cause it has worked in the past...but what do i know. I would really love to get this working right so i can actually tune my car....i think i blame my cheap laptop, i am gonna try to install everything on a friends laptop and see how that all goes.
JUST A NOTE FROM A NUBEE> RECEIVED MY ROAD RUNNER A MONTH AGO FOR USE IN A TRANSPLANT.. CRAIG SHIPPED MINE WITHOUT THE CONNECTOR / CASE INTERFACE. THE USB CABLE DOES DIRECTLY INTO THE CASE AND IS SEALED WITH SILICONE, SO I'M ASSUMING THIS CONNECTOR / RIBBON CABLE ISSUE WAS A CONTINUING PROBLEM. FOR WHAT ITS WORTH, I COULDN'T GET THE ROADRUNNER TO CONNECT TO MY DELL DESKTOP until I UPGRADED TO NEWEST 7.5 BUILD , BUT SONY LAP TOP WORKED FINE EVEN WITH 7.4 > GO FIGURE??
I cant connect to my RR with TC2, it works fine with EFILive, but when I try to connect to it with tunercat It just sits and waits, does it not work with both softwares or do I have to load different drivers for tunercat, I havnt used my RR on my new laptop only with efilive :help2:.
Check your ports, make sure TC2 has the right port setup. I think EFILive and TC2 use same drivers for the RR. So if one works so should the other.
I found that my RR and EFILive (RR on TC2) don't get along at all when they are on the same channel of USB. My Dell M65 has dual channels (4 ports) and works very well, but when I put them on the same, it drops often.
what OS are you running on the laptop?
I run the port speed max on TC2.
I have 2 dell laptops, an inspiron 8100 and 1525, both running XP, I tried the RR on my old 8100 and it connected with TC, it must be a port setting. I am messing with it now to try and get it to work.
