Red Devil River OBD1 anyone using?

[brans87]

I just got my Cable and disc in the mail and wondering if anyone might be able to help me out with questions etc? Going to try to install tonight but no computer guy here so might have questions on that part.

I got it to mainly see how my truck is running,fix my rich problem and make sure things are working as designed with running best that I can.

Thanks Brandon

Have never used it, but is it just a cable? Did you get the bluetooth version?

Looks like they are using TunerPro/TunerPro RT, so I'm not thinking this is some sort of one-off oddity.

I have the BT version, had tons of issues with it, no help from them either. I ended up taking it apart, found some bad solder joints which fixed the issue.

It uses a knock-off Arduino clone, ULTRA cheap construction sealed with hot-snot glue. I've not researched alternatives, but would not buy one again unless nothing else is available.

Got to figure out what all I need to load to get tuner pro

I have the Bluetooth unit. I have it permanently installed in my Blazer and shoved up and ziptied under the dash.

It is cheap construction as mentioned above...but it's been there 2 years now and always works when I connect to it with my phone. I use the ALDLDroid app.

If you are using a laptop, then installing TunerPro RT is pretty straightforward. You can pretty much play with it without corrupting anything in it.

computers are not really straight forward to me when down loading stuff

Get it figured out? Only difficulty in the past for me was getting the ECM to talk to TunerPro, but it's not that bad.

not yet no time and transfer case is out right now waiting to be reinstalled.

So what all do I have to down load cause the cd and there main page has like 6 different downloads it shows.

Looks like this is it: http://www.tunerpro.net/download/SetupTunerProRT_v500_8944.exe

May need to get some of the downloads from here, for the definition file, etc. Don't know what the TunerPro download comes with.

I see that Mark is still turning out new versions of TunerPro, if you get use from it, would be nice to donate to him, as a suggestion.
