i would just uninstall the old version and download the newest one the cable you will get will have the correct drivers in it when you plug it in it will say found new hardware and go through all that

I just purchased my cable a couple of days ago and have been reading as much as i can but i have a question, when you speak of the Flash Block do you mean the white connector that is also disconected under the dash or the kick panel? If so you use the other clip that is comming with the tactix cable, right? or do i not need it for the 04 rex ### that would be cool...

Kudos

Hey do you have any info on wastegate adjustment with the xpt stage 2 maps? I flashed mine and im just wondering about adjusting my wastegate to get the right boost for the map/stockturbo

Maybe this stuff could be added to the thread start(1st post).This is a link of info that NEEDS to be fulley read before you start flashing/logging your car.One because it will answer ALOT of questions and two because it will save you from alot of heartache and a broken car or dead ecu....

Nice write up. Wish I would have read it before I flashed my Stage 4 limp map in. Had to have some way to get the car to Indiana safely, wasn't about to put my baby on a trailer.

My Tactrix wouldn't connect for anything, then I found the problem. Wasn't hitting ok fast enough. Figured out I could hit ok, THEN put the car in the ON position. Yeah, my car's a freak.

I guess I'm an idiot, but I can't find any free maps at all.

dumdum · 10-25-2008, 09:47 PM

You have to register and log in........

ratfink · 10-26-2008, 07:42 PM

Yeah, I did. No maps for an 08 that I could see.

dumdum · 10-27-2008, 10:04 AM

That because they just started flashing the newer CAN bus OBDII cars just this month.......and you never mentioned you had an 08.Fill out your profile.

ratfink · 10-27-2008, 05:47 PM

There's no 08 in the options in the profile.
