Then go to megatune and select to connect to the same port. If you can't do it it ring me and I'll sit at my computer and talk you through it. 086 8463532

Cheers! Figured this out last night after posting actually after searching on miataturbo. We were using com 11,12 and 16. But I've since just found out that only TunerstudioMS will work with my ecu and firmware MSII/Extra firmware 3.1.0. I first thought this was a bad thing....but after checking it out its deadly compared to megatune. Gonna pay the 40 dollars to get the full version as you get all this cool stuff!:

A touch screen pc like you got and somehow mount it in the dash would be amazing. Can set it up anyway you want, whatever gauges, design etc that you can think of.

So heading back out at 5.30, and since I managed to get a signal back through tunerstudioMS yesterday anyway (using the mini terminal shite), I know the ecu and the serial connection is working. I just didnt setup tunerstudioMS correct as was only concentrating on megatune.

Fingers crossed we'll connect anyway, it doesnt solve anything really, but it will diagnose the problem hopefully......

Cheers Joe and Alan aswell, but I'm hopeful for this evening to work out better.
