My experience with a laptop GT1

[SlickGT1]

Success.

Ok so here is the sequence tried today.

Connected the laptop to car via the obd connector while car was running (and off but key in position 2), and laptop was on. Fail

Connected to car via lan wire, while car was running (and off but key in position 2) and gt1 on, FAIL

GT1 turned on nothing pressed on screen.
Connect gt1 to car via the OBD connector.
Put car key in, not in any position, just the hole, don't turn.
Click Diagnosis in DIS
Screen goes blank and takes about a min
Message pops up that the there is a low voltage problem.
Turn key to position 2 (ignition), pop up box goes away by itself in about 20 seconds.
Message pops up saying that the car has been AUTO-DETECTED.
Click OK.

DIS FULLY FUNCTIONAL NOW. Thank you all. I'll keep you all posted if there are any other issues.

P.S. After this process, the GT1 seems to know the car, and disconnecting and reconnecting seems to be no problem, but this could be because there is some sort of memory in the program. My parts should be here Tuesday, so hopefully next weekend I will get to try this all again.
