    I got iBeat working on my windows 7 64 bit laptop by installing it from DVD in virtual PC XP mode
    A good friend donated an ELM 372 interface to my cause and i will order the plugs i linked to further up to make an adapter.
    Also, thanks to all the people who contributed the information to this thread that im using

    I have a JD Tuner fitted so i will be going 100, 100, 100
    The plugs i ordered from China to make the adapter havent arrived yet so I havent plugged the bike up yet, so i probably have more problems in store.

    I have the adapter made.
    I cant get the USB ports to attach in virtual XP mode and iBeat wont run on Windows 7 64
    So it all depends on me getting these ports to attach.

    Took me a bit of mucking round on vm to get the drivers to connect.Manual install and search of ports in vm I think got it open.

    from you original post
    The software file is a .iso file which means you download it, burn file to cd, and then install from the cd. The computer needs to be a 32bit Windows machine so if you have an older laptop you're probably set.

    I obviously don't know what I am doing. I downloaded the iBeat & drivers files (from your page 5 post), got two .iso files. Burned them to a CD. All I ended up with was a CD with the exact same .iso files that were on the thumb drive. When I click on one of them it expects me to burn them to a disc. I must need to do something special when burning to a disk or something, what am I missing ???.

    OK, I will humour you, but you are struggling at this stage........and its only going to get worse
    Simply cut and paste the titles of the connectors I posted into your search function on ebay

    You need to burn iBeat to CD as an image or use winzip and simply install it from your HDD by opening the windows installer package file

    Yes, I will be the first to admit I struggle with ones and zeros. However I do use a lot of high end design software (cadd, FEA, magnetic analysis, etc) in fuel injector design, but once one of those ones or zeros get out of place, I'm done, call in IT.

    But thanks for humoring me :)

    thanks DB, I got it now. Not sure why I even needed to make a CD, I just unzipped what I downloaded from you and away I go. Not to imply that I am going away, I have complete confidence since losing my local dealer that I will be back with MANY stupid questions.

    TIA for everybodies help

    Download a freeware zip file program like 7zip http://www.7-zip.org/download.html It can extract and open the iso file in one shot without any cd. Open and install the file on a 32 bit windows computer and get tuning!

    Connect to another monitor that is full sized. It will show then.

    Or change the resolution of your current monitor, but then all your other stuff will be unreadable small until you change it back. You'll need to reboot the netbook after each change also.

    If I remember on mine it was only the dashboard page in iBeat that got cut off. All the info found there can be found on the individual tab pages so you're not really missing anything except the display convenience. You cannot make changes from the dashboard anyway.

    Is iBeat able to reflash an ECU or is that a different piece of software? And if so, is it available to the general public?
