2013 Dodge Charger SRT8
I purchased an inTune2 about 4 months ago, plugged it up loaded tune and all was well. Took it off after two weeks and unmarried and sold it. I purchased this T1000 and connected it to the PC let it do all updates and go out to my car and as i'm trying to get into the performance tab, it will scan and fail with error: "unable to communicate with PCM..."
I checked my connection, checked the cable, checked the port on the vehicle and nothing appears off. I disconnected everything, turned on the car let it run for a few minutes. Then attempted again and same result.
I did a search and didn't find many results with solutions, someone mentioned the cigarette fuse?

Of course...
Re: Unable to communicate with PCM .... FML
I purchased a brand spanking new Trinity.
Popped out the cable from the new one and this time it didn't act funky (original attempts caused wipers to go crazy and left a CEL on)
This time it didn't give me the communication error, but instead a CAL update message (which I am now updating the tuner.)
I hope it is just a bad cable.
Will update the thread with confirmation after CAL update is done.

Re: Unable to communicate with PCM .... FML
Did the CAL update, reconnected the tuner with the new cable and was able to update calibration and install tune.
So verdict was the cable was damaged/bad and caused weird behaviors during being connected to OBD2 port on car and was unable to communicate with the car.
I assume the cable doesn't have warranty for a replacement?
