Yes, this is answered multiply times in this topic (and other topics).

As a few others have mentioned above...I was looking for the newest tunes, now that I have a laptop. I was hoping for a stage 2, 93 octane tune.

shiv@openflash, trying to update to the newest software and the my updater for my laptop keeps telling me the path is denied? I already tried disabling my antivirus and firewall but no luck. What am I missing?

Make sure your logged in as administrator.

If the auto update still fails manually delete the C:\openflash directory then download the openflash manager software ofm latest version from the openflashtablet.com website downloads page and manually install

also grab the latest template file and apply that to oft

something weird going on suggest you ring oft guys

does sound like a windows permissions problem if the error is " laptop keeps telling me the path is denied?"

Not sure if this is the right place to ask, but I got a right angle extension cable for my OFT. I ran it to the passenger side under the radio, but on the other side I can't figure out where to put the massive connector from the factory OFT cable. I thought about just splicing the low profile extension onto the OFT cable, but after opening up both cables, the OFT cable has a full 16 wires, while the extension has only 8. Plus the extension shorts the two long pins (4 and 5). Would I loose any OFT functionality by permanently splicing on the 8 pin cable?

Think this is why I've heard that extension cables may be fine for logging, not for tuning etc

I've got an extension cable that works fine for loading tunes.

I don't really feel like resetting my tune right now so I guess I'll try the logging and hold off on modding the cable until I try tuning with it.

Thanks for the input.
