Overview

This cable is a modified version of the neoVI-OBD-CAN-1 cable, which converts the DB-25M connector on Intrepid hardware devices to OBD-II and DB-9 connectors. The RAD-Star OBD-II Flashing/Power Cable includes CAN termination on the DB-9 connector to permit flashing the firmware on a connected RAD-Star (see main diagram above).

Details

Since the RAD-Star's DB-9 connection provides power to the device, this cable must be used with a powered OBD-II port (including power and ground lines) for the RAD-Star to function.

Once properly connected, you can flash the RAD-Star's firmware in Vehicle Spy by following these steps:

Open the CoreMini Console.
Click the neoECU (CAN) tab.
Select the HSCAN3 network in the dropdown box (see yellow highlighting in diagram below).
Click the Poll for neoECUs button. Your RAD-Star should appear in the white box to the left.
Select the RAD-Star and click the Flash Firmware button.

More details about updating the RAD-Star can be found in the RAD-Star User's Guide.
