I had the same experience before. Did you try a different computer? My firewall was blocking updates so I just loaded the Superchips software on another PC and it worked on the first try.

 

Also, you could try a different USB port. I think I remember reading somewhere (maybe the manual) that using a USB port on a keyboard or monitor may not provide enough power to run the Flashpaq properly.

 

I haven't tried a different computer but I did try a different USB port. I'll give it a go on my wife's laptop. Thanks for the help!

 

I run 87 with the 87 tune.

 

I'm a computer tech and even I had quite a few problems getting it to update. The only thing I got to work was to directly hookup my computer to my cable modem. I normally have a server and separate firewall, no matter what I disabled firewall wise it would not work. Forwarded all kinds of ports, setup my computer as a dmz host. Still no go. As soon as I directly connected it to my modem all went well. I tried at my office also and had the same problem.

Worth a try...

Instructions if you have a modem and a router:

Unplug both your cable or dsl modem from power.
Turn off your computer.
Unplug the Ethernet cable from the router that runs from your modem and hook it up to your computer directly, replacing the spot where the Ethernet cable is currently plugged in from your router.
Power back on your modem and let it boot all the way up, about 60 seconds.
Then turn back on your computer.
If all goes well your computer should pull an ip address from your provider.
Open your Internet browser and make sure you have Internet.
If you do, try the superchips software and see if it works.
If you don't have internet when you test with your browser, your provider may have special settings that you'd have to contact them about.
To set it back how it was just power everything back down and replace all the cables to the original locations, power on the modem, wait 60seconds, then power back on the router, wait 60 seconds, then power back on the computer.

 

im not trying to be a jerk, but that is pretty funny

 

I experienced this same exact thing tonight. It took me 6 tries before I got it to update.

 

It's a valid question, but yes somewhat humorous. I'm not at altitude so I don't have lower octane to choose from and I don't have any preignition issues so no need to bump octane.

 

PC TECH as well. I think there update software doesn't like Windows7 64 bit. I hooked it up to my wifes laptop running XP 32 bit and it worked fine. Thanks for everyones help on this.

 

I have the opportunity to buy a superchips locally through kijiji but had a question. The seller has it advertised as a flashpaq for Chrysler gasoline engines. Would this be what I'm looking for for the jk or is there a specific jeep wrangler flashpaq?

Thanks!
