Got a message from Eric saying he has a fix for connection settings using the usb cable in lieu of the wifi.  Mine connected both ways but ok.  Also, something about the cooling fan coming on with the the a/c going.  Wanted me to send the box back if I had time, said it would only take a day.  I said ok and pulled the box out.  Should be there Friday and then back by Monday-Tuesday.  Fine with me.  I have to go back to St Louis tomorrow for corporate bs and won't be back till Sunday anyway 


And this is why I paid what I paid for his product.


Are you having issues connecting your laptop to the ECU over the supplied wifi?




When I was first looking into the MS3 units and the ShadowDash application, I found out that Android tablets (or phones) have more difficulty connecting to the ECMs using Wifi than using the Bluetooth connection.


For whatever reason, the Android tablets that were using the Shadowdash app could connect much easier and more consistently with the Bluetooth, than the wifi. The Bluetooth had barely any delay, and I mean so little that if you were using it as your dash/gauge cluster, I would have no concerns about how quickly it was able to receive and display the information.


Food for thought- if you run the ShadowDash on an Android tablet, you can use the application MSDroid for Android devices, and actually make tuning adjustments on the fly with your tablet and have it saved to your ECM! So not only could you have your own custom dash with the Shadowdash, but you wouldn't need a laptop because the MSDroid application allowed you to make tuning changes with the tablet!


Just sharing some info that I found helpful at the time.

Tyler...rememb er the talk we had on how Erics a genius...but understands most aren't.

Interesting thread. Amazing people are still coming out with Buick stuff with such a limited market. Me...?? I am still a die hard chip guy  :rock: .  Russ did a motor for a customer in Austraila. Eric did a chip for it an we ran the motor at the drags . Out of the box no "tuning" it ran a 9.95. Left it alone an shipped it to him. Had to keep it simple. He wanted to get in the car turn on the key an go. Hey thats what I do to  :cool; Like Brad said lots of people should just keep it simple an stupid !!  Oh Russ just did a Fast system in the Mazda to try a few things.Of course I am keeping my old set up if I don't like it. BUT I figure Ill only have the car a few more years before I piece it out and move on.

  Now a little cheap advice . I like simple an stupid . You guys start goin faster an faster (it's a disease!!) everything better be up to snuff. Stuff IS goin to break !! It's only a matter of time. My cheap advice run high 10s an leave it alone !!! Do as I say NOT as I do  :rofl:
  Enjoy all the new technology !!! See ya in BG  :cool;

A lot of broken parts does not make you a racer; it makes you a slow learner.

I've followed Team Keep It Simple Stupid from day 1...and RM is quietly one of the absolute best in the business. Outside of their own family, I'm fairly certain myself, Scoob and my transmission builder buddy are their biggest fans. And the little lady is one helluva driver!


Dan...what was the reason for TAI going to 1/8th mile? Less stress on the engines?

Thats what guys "thought" :icon_redface: Lot of us are still breaking crap. Part of the game!  We are the die hards that want 1/4mile. We got voted out. Oh well  :rolleyes; :O   I am sure she will drive it out a few times in BG. Forgot it isn't till the end of August... Gonna be COLD I think. Should be interesting. Bottom line ya have to be running at the end . Lots of the guys are flying !!! Good paying class  :rock: Few more weeks then we start getting ready for BG. Racing a lot locally. Good practice for her  :cheers:

Going to run the TAI class this year myself.  No expectations. Just out to have some fun and see how the car does.
