    Considering selling Tunercat OBDII license...

    I have two licenses for TC OBDII and I'm considering selling one. I purchased a copy of TCOBDII not too long after the software was released and the buyer will get the original installation disk. Updates can be obtained from TC. I will work with TC to ensure registration is transferred properly. The interface cable is not CAN compatible and IMO is not worth including. I bought the software with a definition for the black box C/K truck pcm that works from 96-99 and I purchased a second definition for an '09 Malibu with 3100. These could be included or omitted. I believe I paid $350 for the original package and $80 for the Malibu license. As I have no idea of the current value of the license, I am entertaining offers.

    I am interested. No idea what it is worth, but I am doing a lot of Black Box PCMs and 0411s.

    I'm interested as well, so I can get my hands dirty with some OBDII stuff.

    Cool deal! Value could be exponential, LOL.

    Side question. Do you suffer compatibility issue with yours, Windows wise? I get random crashing unless I hit 'er buttons just right.

    Remember, you gotta buy a road runner to get that. So add the value of that.

    For Win 7 OS, I run RTOBD2 in Win XP service pack 3 compatibility mode. What I do to reduce or eliminate Win compatibility crashes is load the .cal file from the drop down menu; see attached screen shot. I still tend to get crashes when comparing cal files. I often have to load / browse to a .cal file, save the loaded .cal file, exit RTOBD2 then reopen RTOBD2 to select the .cal file I want to edit from the drop down menu.

    Using Win7 I was having a lot of crashes without any apparent cause or pattern. Tried everything and couldn't get it to be reliable enough to flash, crashed twice while flashing and got 2 corrupted PCMs (fixed them already but still a hassle).
    Then I emailed both Moates and Tunercats about the issue, I was told the tuner program was not designed to run in Windows 7 or newer, I was advised to use a Virtual XP Machine to avoid crashes since it was a known issue and there was no ETA for a fix. I did it and haven't had a problem since.
