    Default AutoCal is not recognized via USB to my computer $0280

    I cannot get my computer to recognize the AutoCal V8. I keep getting an usb error message that nothing is detected .

    The AutoCal works fine when hooked up to my truck. I can do reads and change tunes etc..

    It has a DTC error $0280 that I can't clear.

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Are you using a USB3 port? Try using a USB2 port and seeing if you can connect to it. I've had issued with USB3 ports not recognizing my V2 properly.

    Go Start->EFILive->V8->EFILive V8 USB Manager, uninstall the driver, and install the older driver (2.02.04).

    where can the 2.02.04 driver be found? Or better yet, the 02.12.26 most recently recommended. Nevermind... loaded the Beta versions, thanks
