FiTech EFI system

My car is in hibernation. Tomorrow Ill go hunt up my handheld and see what happens when i plug it into my laptop. I used it only on my desktop and it was a matter of just plugging it in.

Does the screen light up at all for you when plugged in? Or can you charge a cell phone through the usb on the laptop (if you have one)?

Yep, powers up. With a laptop, W7 OS, and USB cable, thing lights, displays FItech logo, then goes to a menu says "Handheld Mode"

Three choices are:

OPEN USB Mass Storage

Change to K-Line Adapter

Offline Mode

The first is supposed to get the computer to open up into the handheld and does nothing except show a timeout error on the handheld

The second changes the screen to show "K-Line Adapter Mode" and only way I can get out of that is unplug the cable which powers it down. Does not do anything else

The last gets you into the menu you see when hooked to ECU, to change settings, etc
