lc-1 hookup headache

[joecar]

I just got EFIL Flashscan v2 and an LC-1 setup (same 6-wire as the OP). I've been reading about the best way to wire it all into my '08 C6, but this thread has me a bit confused.

So I SHOULD wire the analog ground (A1-) inline with a batt. ground? And the yellow/black wires are for the LED?

Thanks. Sorry, first post.

Filmjay, welcome to the forum...

So you have FlashScan V1 or V2...?

If it's V2 hook up the power, ground and LED circuits and then use the serial connection, lot more accurate then using AD inputs and no fuss to calibrate.

+1.

Thanks. Feel like I should start my own thread, but I thought putting it here might be appropriate. I have FlashScan V2. I'm not one to do thing half-a**ed!

My LC-1's serial out adapter terminates with a female 9-pin serial connector So I'm guessing I need an adapter to connect the female serial -> RS232 cable included in EFIL?

Glad I checked the forums. If I'd followed the instructions within the program, or even the Innovate instructions, I'd have spent a lot of time and effort to be screwed. LOL!

Ugh. Well that sucks. Wish I'd known that beforehand.
Any more surprises on items I'll need that aren't included in either box?

Thanks for the link.

[Filmjay]

Oh, it's like that.....

Thanks for the link. Got one of the cables en route. I'm not one for unnecessary adapters on something so signal-sensitive.

[joecar]

Some people like to make their own cable, others like to use the cables that came with (requires the $2.45 null-modem-adapter), while others like a unitized ready made cable...

I did all 3.

[Filmjay]

I'm intending it to be a semi-permanent install, so the full unbroken cable is the only option for me.

Thanks again. I'm sure I'll be back w/ a plethora of more questions.
