I don't know. I can't get it running because of EWS not aligned with DME. Which is why I bought the INPA and DIS software in the first place. Now you see my quandary. lol

I am not computer savvy enough to verify that software is loaded properly; but the dots on the screen did say connected. also the dots on the left side kept on blinking on and off. I have charger on it tonight and a guy bringing over a battery tester tomorrow night. Maybe the new battery is bad. And it has a dead cell and won't allow the charger to get it over 12 volts. and since I can't keep it over 12 volts; the INPA or DIS software dent wanna work. Also doesn't help that I don't know how to use either one of them . When it comes to the mechanics part of things like changing out a motor, tranny and transfer case; for me thats no problem. But when it comes to the computer stuff; Me not so good. And I don't have the patience for how slow INPA and DIS are; my god I think I can have another birthday before it gets done loading a page, or doing a scan.

If those dots are blinking then it sounds like at least it sees the cable.

DIS is incredibly slow and outdated

ISTA+ is the more recent software and is a little bit of a pain to install but nothing too bad. Just have to follow steps in the certain order and that's about it for the most part.
