I can't help but think though, exactly how complicated is this thing? I would have guessed a microcontroller, some supporting componants, and maybe an OBD-II interface chip.
This also re-enforces my apprehension about killing my PCM, what happens if it dies during programming? (I wish I had a way to save the *entire* flash ram before programming so I could restore it manually with a programmer if anything happens)

Don't mean to flame, but before you start bad mouthing a product it's best to take it up w/the manufacturer...

horror or whatever, dave responded my email and i'll have to mail the cable back to them so they can repair it, i'd just said it "looks" like common problem because I'd also remember someone else posted on LS1.com about the cable not working LOL by no mean am I trying to bad mouth carputing, common or not... i guess time will tell, was just trying to figure out exactly why is this happening, if this is a QC issue then I'm sure they will address it, so chill out and get your fact straight before you accuse me of bad mouthing carputing based solely on my questions, food for thought... <img border="0" title="" alt="[Roll Eyes]" src="images/icons/rolleyes.gif" />
