Shadow Dash MS no response

Post by allenreed »

Hello,

I have been trying for sometime now to connect this program to my car via bluetooth. I have tried two tablets Monster and a Samsung tablet also Android S 6 cell phone. Here is what happens it finds the bluetooth connection then I get "Open Connection but adaptor unable to get a response from controller." What am I doing wrong any suggestions.

Thanks,

Allen

I believe it is a mega squirt. My motor builder built this box out. This is for a 600 micro sprint. So I am trying to figure it out.

I don't see a Megasquirt in there.

Looks like the blue tooth adapter from your website http://tunerstudio.com/index.php/cablesandbluetooth.

I really didn't put a good picture for you guys to help. We race 600 micros my son is the driver. Originally we had carbs last year and had nothing but troubles a motor builder sold us on the idea of going to fuel injection using the Zeitronic zt-3 system. We have not had an issue since. The only issue I have not been able to use the software to get readings when we race. So this year the builder began using the blue tooth system. We installed it a month ago but I cannot get the blue tooth to communicate to the controller. Maybe there are configuration settings that I need to make this happen. Any suggestions?

Based on the picture that you posted it looks like the gender changer needs to be flipped around. What you want is to have the threaded studs on the gender changer facing the threaded studs on the Bluetooth adapter.

I would take that Bluetooth adapter out of the box then flip that around and if you make a connection re-glue the gender changer.
