hi ppl ive just got consult for my car and a usb cable, put all the software and drivers on and i cant get the consult software to find my ecu gettin p***ed off now cant anyone help me

 

regards andy

Is the ignition on? More than likely the usb-serial adapter you're using...

This might sound stupid, but well worth checking.....

 

Are you phisically looking underneth when you are pluging the lead into the cars loom plug?

I say this because it's caught me out a couple of times doing it by feel, I've though it's in (as it'll hold there) but in fact was not actually plugged in properly!

ive got the ignition on and its a blazt usb cable and theres no adapter, well ive checked the plug and its feels and looks like its in the plug, i might hav to phone them up in the morning

So its free conzult?

Silly question, but have you installed the USB driver (http://www.blazt.biz/downloads/usbdrivers.php)?? Yes I know you said you've installed all the drivers, but it seems a common problem (after doing a search)

no full working version of conzult, engine, a/c, auto, hicas etc test can be done using it if i can get it work lol

yea thats the drivers i installed

Thats why it won't work - to use full conZult you must hae the official conZult interface. Now delete this thread before Danny or Eric see it or they'll be after your balls on a stick lol

i brought it offically so cant see a problem, i aint done nothin wrong

So its not the blatz cable then?

?? im well confused now, blazt are selling the software and this cable is what they say will work with the software, but i dont know if its the cable or software problems im having

Ok thats were the confusion is - consult and blatz are 2 different things ;)

so where do i buy a cable that work withs the consult software?

Danny @ DTA. Blatz software should work fine with the blatz cable...

 

Or afaik there is a limitted functionality free version of consult software that will work with it...

thanks andy ill give it a try

OK - just tuning in after a long day's work.

 

Andy (Meeson): the reason why your "ConZult" software isn't working with your "Blatz" cable is because the two are incompatible.

 

You either need to buy the full ConZult from us or contact David [Legrath] for the proper software that accompanies the Blatz hardware.

 

We [DTA] can supply a software only version of the ConZult but that will only work with the DIY version of the interface (links can be found on this Forum or via google).

 

Andy (Duff): thanks for your efforts in explaining why the two are different things and why they don't work together ... appreciate it.

 

HTH
