I need some help with my WOT Box... I can't get my fkn computer to connect to it. I've downloaded both of the drivers from their website and I've tried their v3.0 and v3.2 software. Yet, the computer still won't connect.

The only "Port" that it shows available - whether the cable is connected or not - is COM3. No other ports show up in the drop box. Yes, I've turned the key to the on position. Also, when I go to SYSTEM -> Hardware -> Device Manager... no "Ports" option shows up. They show up on my desktop, but not on my Laptop.

Any help would be appreciated... I just wanna get this thing working.

 

Bump for any help?

 

Vista?

 

I emailed them because I was having the same issue. Apparently, if you placed your order from them up to a few weeks ago, the cable they sent isn't compatible with windows 7. So, you need the updated cable from them.

If you're on anything other than W7, then I am not sure.

I just manually set up my 2-step and NLS timing using the box for now. It makes the SC cobalt SO much more fun to drive. Best investment ever, and it makes the stock slipmaster clutch work when you are making higher than stock power levels.

 

Xp...

 

Anyone... anyone... anyone?

 

is the box plugged in and has power to it, on the car?

 

Yeah if its getting no power it wont read.. happend when i was installing my tune.. its attached to the cig lighter fuse.. mines was burnt

 

I'm not an idiot. The box has power. The Blue LED comes on... all that Jazz. I'm 99.9% positive that it is a problem with my Laptop and not the WOT Box. I need someone that is an expert with Windows XP... to explain to me how to either create a port... or something like that.

 

i wasnt saying you were an idiot it is just the first thing to check...
do you have anything else you plug into that port on your computer?

 

I underestand you aren't calling me one... I'm just saying that is the one of the first things that I made sure of. The WOT Box works... It just doesn't work right, yet (I haven't reversed the Clutch Switch or set the Ignition properly yet... because I haven't been able to connect to it).

And yes... the Laptop has 4 USB ports, I've tried them all on the WOT Box, and they all work fine with my Mouse, External Hard Drive, and Thumb Drives.

I'm about to just go to Wal-Mart and buy a really long USB Extension Cable, pull the car up to my front door, and use my Desktop.

 

i had problems with my xp laptop had to borrow my sister vista laptop worked mint after that

 

Alright... can someone hook up their laptop to their WOTbox... find the port name its running on (COM3, etc)... and then find out what the actual port number is? I'm hoping that it generally operates on the same port. I'm going to try and manually add the port.

I'll keep this in mind.

PROBLEM SOLVED...

...the problem was the shitty 6" USB Extension Cord that was provided with the **** Box. I replaced it and everything connected great. I'm actually heading out to try out my current settings right now.

 

Damn. Let us know how it feels!

 

She feels great! HD Videos are uploading now.

 

my favorite part is fireballs from the 2nd to 3rd nls
