    Unplug both ends again and just plug tactrix into obd2. Lights up with ignition on?

    Do you have aftermarket head unit? If you do and it provides obd2 readings, disable obd2 on the head unit and try again.

    I hate to say this, but look at the instructions. Should show the verbage. I'm at work otherwise I'd find it.

    Should say tactrix open port. Typically that means you haven’t installed the drivers

    SAWEET!!! Thanks! I'll give it a try! I do really like the GL though. But if the shift points are right, GL may not be needed.

    Just in case, a few computers with USB 3.0 ports do not like OVT / vF. Are you using a 3.0 port? Do you have a USB hub to try or other USB 2.0 ports?

    I’m not sure sorry new to this. I’m using what @OVTune sent me and a adapter to plug in my Samsung tablet/laptop. I get lights to light up with OB2 to laptop and get lights when OB2 to truck and I also get a Audible sound when I plug into the computer.
