Problems with dsmlink


I got my dsmlink In the mail that I bought off someone on here, I downloaded the software on the computer, hooked up the new ecu up plugged the key span in the port in the car, and plugged the USB into the computer, when I go to turn the car on it just died out immediately and the fuel pump keeps turning on and off, and when I try to do something on the computer it says the action times out and I can't do anything on it, does anyone know what's wrong? I'm a complete beginner at this I was just going to upload a 2 step until I get the car tuned

Was it running before? Make sure your injectors are set correctly. Set them with the key in the ON postion without the car running. Then start her up again.

Sometimes the chip is burned for a certain injector size...if you are not getting the proper amount of fuel your car will not run. Head over to ECMLink and watch all the videos I guarantee all the info to get you started is easily accessed.

The chip probably has the settings from the previous owner, which I am 99.9% sure are wrong for your car.

Can you turn the key to ON, fire up link, and have it connect successfully? If v3, have you installed the drivers for the cable? That sounds like where your issue lies with the time out responses.

Did you download the v3 software to use (hopefully you did)? If so, when you go to "Configure connection..." on the main screen, did you configure it for "DSMlink v2 - 1g DSM"?

Download the V3 software as Brian mentioned, and see if you can get a connection. You'll also need to update the firmware.

Not possible with v2.


Download the v3 software and try what I suggested. It's got to be a config issue if you can't connect.

Oh crap. For some reason I was thinking he was trying to upgrade to V3. (I must still be jet lagged from the drive).

Nevermind.

Yes, you need to do the complete install first and then the update only version after that.
