Caveat: I apologize if this question has already been answered. I read JPop's extensive review of the Flashpaq and didn't see this referrenced anywhere. Nor was the search function useful in this case.

I understand that the superchips update software is only compatible with Windows OS's. Does anyone have a Mac running bootcamp or parallels and a Flashpaq? If so, have you had success updating your tuner? Were any other programs necessary?

I appreciate any help you can provide!

 

No problems running it through either parallels 4 or 5. Both worked without any problems.

I had issues with the Superchips software in XP under Parallels (might have been network/settings related), but luck with the newest Windows.

One note, don't plug the tuner in to the USB plug until your windows is finished booting, and you've got the Superchips software running. The updater can be quite slow; but do not under any circumstances unplug it until it says to. Mine locked up on me once while updating (I thought it was stalled/crashed anyway) and locked the tuner when I unplugged it. A Windows reboot solved the problem thankfully.

No issues at all with the Tuner and my '10 JKU. I'm not sure I could live without the 91 Tune.

 

Thank someone (APPLE) for a smart computer. Yes, I run VM Fusion and have infected my MAC with windows to run the Flashpac. Works fine. I think SC purposely didn't put any OS info on the box as to not discourage MAC users from buying. I do have to say the interface software SC uses fits windows perfectly as it allows for no user interaction and it is on par with windows 95 visually and all intents functionality. No interaction just updates.

Tuner works good, just the software and interface is not so hot.

 

If you don't want to buy Parallels or VM Fusion, you can use the free Boot Camp Program from Apple. I used this without a hitch.

 

I appreciate everyone's input. Now to wait for my tuner which should be here any minute.
