red cable flashing red/green.

[LTturboguy]

Hey everyone i searched and i found solutions, but none seem to work.

So i purchased the basic tune a few months back, and i used my friends red cable to flash the car, everything worked out great! a couple of weeks later i received my own red cable and it sat in its packaging until today. i upgraded to the elite and got myself the k&n typhoon CAI, i got my new tune Friday and my intake today,installed (sounds so angry!) and went ahead and decided to flash my new tune.

I plugged in my red cable to my laptop and to the car, turned on trifecta ez flash, went tried to check for codes, got the could not communicated with vehicle error, restarted PC tried again, same error, read on WOT that the cable need to flash solid yellow from the LED, well as the title says its not.

uninstalled the drivers, restarted PC and reinstalled drivers, still the same. i'm running out of options guys, i have ezflash version 1.25 and the drivers off WOT as well as tried the ones off BNR.


anyone got a solution for this problem?

I had to use V1.15 to flash my elite update.

I've got a cable to troubleshoot it if need be

 

[LTturboguy]

Yeah might need to do that.

So I got an initial email from Michael at WOT and he thinks my cable was never flashed with their firmware which is what alternating red/green means! I really appreciate the quick response from those guys, I've seen a lot of bad publicity lately on here about Bnr and trifecta from a select few individuals, but from my experience they have been nothing but professional and very customer friendly.

I'm now waiting for him to confirm my issue and then I guess I have to get the cable sent to them so they can flash it with the required firmware.

They could just as easily send you another and you send that back. You'll get it sooner

Yeah either way works, I think they are in Washington (that might be trifecta) I could just drive there lol.

Trifecta is in Washington but WOT, per my memory, is in Texas.

That's what I thought, i sent them the cable, they're in snohomish which is 1 hour away from me, so I should be getting the new one sometime soon I hope.

Got my new cable today (yay!) but I still can't detect the vehicle when I run both versions of trifecta (1.15 and 1.25) im honesty starting to get a little irritated with this whole ordeal, anyone got any suggestions? I don't get a pop up to install new hardware when I plug the cable in, but it does has a solid yellow light.

Uninstall, reboot, reinstall, reboot.

Don't know about the lights, never noticed any on mine.

Done and done trying other steps with trifecta customer support, hopefully we can get this figured out.
