make sure j12 is cut. Check in device manager which port your datalogging uses.(don't plug in your ostrich). Now that you have the right comm port open settings->datalogging Disable auto-scan Select correct comm port Baud 38400 And press test

yup, did you turn your key on when you were trying to connect?

tried with key on and car running, both no go. I'll check j12 to make sure its cut, that may be the problem. I'll keep you posted.

If you have uploaded a basemap when you put the key in the on position your CEL will light then go out, this is where you need to pay attention, the CEL will flash again shortly after the CEL goes out.
