Pete Posted March 15, 2006 Share Posted March 15, 2006 I got my G5 software 2.2 and cable today and connected it up to my port on the intellistart (it seems to loop through). It's a Concept 600 system. After starting the software the welcome screen knows if the system is armed or not and also if the ignition is on or off - so there's some communication there. However, if I try to go any further a box saying Interrogating System Components appears and doesn't go away. I've left it for ages. The system is via a USB COM dongle as nothing has real com ports nowadays. This works for all my Cisco boxes etc, but as this software seems pretty old I'm wondering if that's the problem. Any other ideas anyone? Ta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 15, 2006 Author Share Posted March 15, 2006 I also seem to have lost the installer software if anyone knows where I can find a copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pete Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Yep - it was the dongle alright. Found a ropey old Sony under someones desk with a COM port Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
_Rob_ Posted March 16, 2006 Share Posted March 16, 2006 what does this software and cable actually do? iv been thinkin of getting one but was never sure why..! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Download the software then run it in offline mode and find out. Basically lets you control all aspects of the alarm more easily. I've managed to screw mine up with it though. It won't recognise I have Intellivoice and the Intellistart insist on trying to burn out my starter motor. I've given up for now.

Pete Posted March 16, 2006 Author Share Posted March 16, 2006 Intellistart insist on trying to burn out my starter motor. Sorted it. You have to reset the idle RPM using the installer instructions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
absz Posted March 20, 2006 Share Posted March 20, 2006 is it possible to buy the software and link cable so that i can re-program my own key fobs ? or is that too expensive:rolleyes: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pete Posted March 20, 2006 Author Share Posted March 20, 2006 is it possible to buy the software and link cable so that i can re-program my own key fobs ? or is that too expensive:rolleyes: Yup - the software lets you do this too. I think there's a way to do it without the software as well too. Installer manuals are in the downloads section.
