I recently installed the FIC software on my laptop, but when doing the setup, it asks me to uninstall usb drivers for some reason I dont know why....

so i read the manual and i 'installed' the new usb drivers off the website the 2.02 or something like that...

only thing is that when i go to install them a black box pops up (kinda resembles DOS command prompt), and it stays on the screen for 1 second then goes away....nothing tellss me if it installed or not or if its an error.

i checked the AEM forums and a few ppl complained about this same problem, but nobody had answers

just wondering if anyone experienced this..

i have no way to test if it works yet since i didnt install my kit yet

but id like to have it up and running so i can install my base map when i install the kit and have no problems

thanks guys

 

Vista? XP?

for some reason it does ask you to uninstall the driver, but i think that might be a typo error on their part since it did install when i got that message.

Make sure it is disconnected when you run the installer, then connect it and if it "found new hardware" tell it to scan the install directory for the driver - and you will be fine. The F/IC must be powered on in the car to get to this point! You have to load your base map after installing the f/ic.

I would also suggest going on aempower.com forums and getting the newest version of the software.

 

oooooooooh ****

the fic has to be plugged in to load the software correctly?

i had no idea

 

vista btw

 

Vista gave me some problems, but it works. when you plug it in just have the add new hardware wizard search the directory for the driver. It will work.

btw dont go to ripp - they RIPPED me off... gave me my car back detonating, lean, and check engine lights! Perry said he will never tune a F/IC again. He didnt like it.. (mostly because he didnt understand it)

 

hey man, i see ur in NRG...u go to DPA sometimes?

i figure maybe we can meet up and shoot the ****, and u could help me out with the fic

maybe load a map or something for me and teach me the FIC

 

btw u know marc? with the rs3 turbo tc?

just wondering since ur from LI..lol hes sellin me his gauge pod

 

yes i do

Im down at DPA almost every week

 

This is incorrect...the F/IC can draw current from your USB port.
I had my f/ic on my lap and I was able to connect my laptop to it and load up a map before we ever installed it in my car.

 

yea man thats cool

im from the staten island chapter actually we have meets every wed night

lately i havent been to dpa, been busy with the chicks and other things lol

but ill def stop by one day n say hello, esp cause i need the gauge pod from marc!

 

werd.

i guess that makes sense tho

 

I tried to hook up my F/IC with USB and it didnt power up for me
