paulfurn Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi all Just a quicky for those with RLTC. Does anyone happen to know what type of cable/plug comes with the RLTC package? i.e the cable that connects to unit to a laptop in order to upload new .dat files, or to run the diagnostic program? Is it just (for e.g.) a serial cable, a parallel cable or something else totally different that Ill have to go to Racelogic to buy? I cant seem to find mine in the box, and if the peeps who installed it cant find it Ill probably need to buy another, so any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

paulfurn Posted September 15, 2004 Author Share Posted September 15, 2004 Thanks mate, So is it a serial to serial connection (as in a serial port on the unit to a serial port on the laptop?)... so Ill just need to buy a serial cable?

questionboy Posted September 15, 2004 Share Posted September 15, 2004 Hi Paul, Mark from sextons, How's the car? hope you are happy with the work. Just to let you know the racelogic data cable you mention is already pre-installed into your car. If you want to access the cable it is placed ontop of your ECU cover which is located in the passengers footwell. as mentioned it is a serial connection so will plug directly into you laptop/computer. Hope this helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im sorry for my ignorance in all of this, Im still just tenatively getting used to a lot of the bits, and as youve probably guessed I havent looked at the unit yet, I was going to call to ask where it was first! The work is amazing mate, very neat, and it sounds absolutely superb. The RLTC has already saved my bacon once as well..... Thanks again for your help Mark, very much appreciated mate Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
