Which PP2000??

Post by MrChips »

I've been checking out a few PP2000 systems...

I'm not really sure what I'm looking for, but the e-bay item no - 321281257524 seems to sound good to me...

Your input please?

I have one on order now, could I load up the information to an external hard drive for use with random laptops, or would I have to load onto the PC/Laptop directly?

I would not advise loading the software onto a removable drive. It is very 'fragile' for want of a better word. It took me two attempts of over two hours to install, as I had forgotten to turn off my anti-virus, and Windows Defender also likes to get involved. I also advise against allowing the computer to access the Internet whilst trying to run the program after install, as it seems to screw up after installing update.
I bought the same a couple of weeks ago and have been trying to work out why it would not talk to my Engine ECU. Everything else was fine. I have only so far installed the basic DigiBox with the PP2000 that comes by default, and have not yet tried to install the seperate PP2000 software.

Hi mate, hows you?
I'd you go on YouTube there are plenty of step by step guides on what to do. its a bit boring but you do really need to be watching it on seperate pc at the same time as installing yours on a laptop.
Good luck,
