I bought a used rtek 2.1 ecu and handspring visor pda from a member on the board a few months ago but i just got my car running again so i tried to hood it up. I loaded the latest logger off the pocketlogger site and it loads into the pda fine but when i go to hook it up to the ecu there is a big x in the top right hand corner of the screen. I have tried to delete and completely reinstall this program 3 times with still no success. Any input would be appreciated.

 

What hotsync cable are you using? Does it have a "Y" in it? Did it come with the Rtek?

 

the hotsync cable im using is a handspring cable and one end is a com port that fits into the ecu cable and the other end is a Y and has a usb plug and a plug which fits into the pda

 

Y cables dont work. You need a straight serial hotsync cable.

Unfortunately I dont stock them.

The Visor cables can be a bit finicky. You can try this one but I can't guarantee it will work.

Another option is to get a handspring serial cradle which definitely works.

The problem is the PDA wont stay in it when you drive around.

 

thanks alot man i have the cradle but unfortunately it just has a usb cable end on it and not the com port

 

i ordered the cradle you recommended so hopefully it will be here in a few days. I am ready to tune this thing and see what itll do
