LC-1: No real time data link? HELP
Ok heres the deal. Got the LC-1 all connected and calibrated over the weekend, I think anyway (Led went through the blinking conditions stated in the manual and then remainded steady).
I thought all was good, buttoned up the car and then later plugged the serial cable into my laptop. Started up Logworks and I get the error "no real time data" use LM programmer or something. Not certain but it seems like the serial cable is not being recognized by the laptop.
What should I trouble shoot. I have been reading about several grouding issues with the LC-1. Is this the first place I should start? Would a bad ground give me this error or is it simple a driver issue on the laptop and how can I diagnosis it if it is?

almost certain your problem is the serial connection with the laptop.
first try re cycling the key, turn off on a couple of times, remember to open the door so power is completely off.
make absolutely certain the plugs into and out of your innovate is a good connection,
they need to be push in as far as they can go.
what usually works for me is, unplugging and replugging the usb on the laptop, although I did read some one had good effect by unplugging the serial usb connection. this is generally the fix for the problem you have.
if your laptop has a serial connection, try cycling the key and check your connections.

NEVER plug the 2.5mm serial IN OR OUT when the LC1 is powered on...
I do have a serial connection on my laptop which I am using to directly connect to the LC-1
The problem for me has not been intermittent. I has not worked once in several trys. Is the connection really this tempermental? I am now thinking I should have just stayed with my Tuner Pro from Turboxs (never had these types of issues).

I think that I may have solved my own problem. Are the LED and Switch wired in parallel or series? The instructs were alittle vauge on this point. I think that I wired them in parallel which thinking about it now would not work as desired.

yeah the 2.5mm serial connector actually shorts out when inserting/removing.
this causes a loop and puts the LC1 into programming mode, usually overwriting all your settings/calibration.
best bet is to frack off the serial connector and use the analogue output wired into the ECU.
I have been doing that for a week and have had ZERO problems with the LC1..
/touch wood!

Just got finished reading the complete instructions for routing the analog output through the ECU. Does anyone have the code for modding ROM 94170015?
