Cable has arrived, bloody COM ports grrr! :evil: Its all set on port 1 but "lite" wont find interface unless its set to port 3! :roll: Suprisingly on these settings, i get "no response from controller" have kept the device manager port settings the same as on lite, tried each usb port in turn " port ok, interface not found"
Getting a bit mad, they need to be the same for it to connect, dont they? :(

You installed the drivers for it?

Not sure if you've tried it, but if Lite wants it on port 3, have you changed it to port 3 in device manager?

Aaaaah yeah! :D Gave up for a while, but sorted the COM port thang. Have to say 80% of the controllers give " no response" but the engine returned 18048 - Internal Control Module: EEPROM Error. No chips or maps, cleared code, and the rev blip has all but dissapeared, and also that smelly "check" light has gone out! :D 1 down, 1 to go (ABS) Cheers!
