If you can capture a Comm Debug log of TS trying to connect.

- Close TunerStudio.
- Using File Explorer, navigate to your TunerStudioProjects folder
- Delete the file "TunerStudioAppDebug.txt"
- Open TunerStudio, but not the project.
- On the main menu check "Communications --> Comm Debug"
- Open your project and let it try to connect
- Close TunerStudio

TunerStudio will now have recreated the TunerStudioAppDebug.txt with the needed information.

Post that here.

I do see an issue. I will set up a box with this older firmware to try reproducing.
I will investigate and have more for you tomorrow.

I have updated the firmware now to the 1.5 and this seems to have cured the issue. Thanks for the reply
