Just order Ktuner v1.2 off ebay (15% off)

Can I use an Apple Mac book to connect to download the software to the ecu?

Only if you install Windows on it. I have a macbook Pro and it is a pain in the ass using bootcamp for tuning devices. I say this as an owner of both a Hondata Flashpro and Ktuner v1.2. Pick up a cheap windows laptop or borrow one to setup your tuning device and marry to the ecu.

Android is supported as well but iOS is not. Apple makes slick looking devices which are a pleasure to use and hold their value quite well but for home brew and development type stuff they are nearly useless due to a lack of support and compatibility issues.

You need Windows. XP or 7 will work. Buy a cheap older laptop.

A Windows tablet will work, if you're talking about one of the Windows 8 or 10 tablets. As long as it's a standard Windows version.
Ok I'm thinking a family member has a windows tablet. If not I'll have to go get one. May have some questions once I get it flashed, if so best for me to contact you on here Ktuner?

I've been spending the last 3-4 days trying to get Boot Camp to work on my Mac with no luck... Just went to VirtualBox and have Windows 10 up and running with Ktuner, but am now hitting issues with my USB and am unsure if its the Ktuner itself or my setup?

Once I connect the device to my car, it keeps jumping between Authenticating and Disconnected every 2-3 seconds, non-stop. I've tried multiple ports, and still the same. Could this be a malfunctioning unit, or do I need to go spend a few hundred on a new computer just to run this?

Just buy a cheap laptop from a pawnshop. I got one for $35 to keep in my car and it has been working for nearly 3 years.

Don't forget CL, or facebook marketplace too. If you have an office job, see if IT has any ancient computers they're about to throw away.

KTuner is great in that it supports really old PCs.

I experienced the same thing on multiple Macs(mbp late 2013, mba 2011, mb 2018). The solution is to continue reseating the USB. After several dozen unplugging it finally would connect. That is not an exaggeration. When it would finally work I was nervous as hell expecting the connection to crap out, though it never did. I eventually started using my dell gaming laptop (Inspiron 7567) for hondata and Ktuner, and it has always worked flawlessly.

I still like my MBPr15, but it is lousy for tuning.

My tuning laptop is a MBP with Parallels, no issues with connectivity. I'm unsure why you'd have any trouble there. Make sure the drivers are installed and it shows up in device manager properly.

I used bootcamp for all of them .maybe the USB support is better with parallels. Strikes me as odd but good to know.

I figure bootcamp would be the best option since it's native, but maybe not. I've just been using Parallels since before it was Parallels. :)

Thanks for the advice guys. I've now downloaded Parallels, but am hitting the exact same issue - This time it's flashing "Authenticating" for a millisecond, and then back to Disconnected. I've tried a few different cords, and unplugging 100+ times to no avail. I'll reach out to Ktuner and see if they know of anything else.
