Black Box

[TAQuickness]

No big deal, but I've had a couple of minor things with the black box.

1) From the tuning tool: If the black box is not hooked up via USB when I open the tuning tool, the tuning tool opens in demo mode. If I hook up the black box, close then reopen the tuning tool, everything is fine. At that point I can unplug the black box.

2) From the scan tool: I have 23 PID's selected and when I opt to download them to the Black Box, I get a message saying more than 24 PID's have been selected. I found if I select 22 or less PID's it will let me download with for high speed data logging.

Some pids will use up 2 spots probably putting you over the 24 byte requirement. Dynamic air and dynamic cyl air are two of them

Yea I was getting the same thing showed I only had 23 PID selected but showed I was using 28 channels. So I believe its not how many PIDS but how many channels you are using.

For the record, I have the number one problem as well some of the time. Not a big deal, just a bit annoying sometimes to have to unplug the USB device, close the software, and restart the software.

If it kicks back to demo mode without the FlashScan box, there is something amiss with your registration details.

Not sure if this has changed or not but in beta, we had to leave our contact/name information out. In the scanner, go to the registration screen and if you have anything in the name and contact fields, delete it.

I cleared my contact info and it didn't work. It's really not that big a deal. All I have to do is plug in the BB, start the program, then I can unplug the BB.

I've got one for the wish list. Can the tuning tool be given some sort of automatic revision history? Every time I make a change to my tune, I first make a copy of the file, then go straight to the comments page and note what I'm changing. I was thinking something like this:

PCM CALIBRATIONS
.|_ OPERATING SYSTEM
.|+ ENGINE CALIBRATION
.|+ EGNINE DIAGNOSTICS
.|+ TRANSMISSION CALIBRATION
.|+ TRANSMISSION DIAGNOSTICS
.|+ FUEL SYSTEM
.|+ SYSTEM
.|+ SPEEDOMETER
.|_REVISION HISTORY
.....|_21JAN2005
.....|..|_LIST
.....|..|_OF
.....|..|_CHANGES
.....|_20JAN2005
........|_MORE
........|_CHANGES

Or some sort of log file associated with the tune that keeps a history of the changes made.

Are you using the issue date on the blue card?

John - yes

John, I double checked one more time right after I posted just to be sure - and I had the day and month right, but the year was off by 1. Changed it and it works perfect now. :lol:
