question re: updating a powercommander
« on: April 05, 2012, 15:59:54 »
can you update the PC with the bike running. as you need the power to the unit and the power is only on when the bike is running (power not on when only ignition is on)

want to upload one of the maps of the dynojet website that is set up for the o2 sensor eliminated. going to save my custom map first then upload the new map.

Which type of PC? PC-III or PC-III-usb?
Doesn't the PC-III-usb get the power from the usb cable during an update? I think so.
Ignition off(!!!) and wait a minimum of 1 minute before changing anything or disconnect a cable!! Otherwise you may damage your ECU or PC!!! (...according to the manual PC-III-usb)

PIII 3 usb, says on the website it needs to be powered. either via 9volt power up adapter or when the unit is connected to the bike. the unit only lights up when bike is going,
