USB Issues with Nytro RB3

[Rx1M5]

I started playing around with my RB3 today and I can't get the USB connection to operate. I tried a bunch of different USB ports and I reloaded the software. I can download maps from the internet and look at them but I can't do anything at all with the box itself. I just keep getting a USB connection error. I don't have the RB3 installed on the sled but it is my understanding that you can load maps without having the unit on the sled. I just thought I'd start trying to learn the ins and outs of this thing before I install it but so far no luck. What am I doing wrong or what do I need to know/fix?

i believe you do need it connected to the sled. It gets some power from the battery

Pins 1 and 4 Red/Black provide +5v dc which I was led to believe was used for powering the RB3 or any other USB based device for that matter. Pins 2 and 3 are for data. My download cable is providing exactly 5 volts so?????????

I never had any luck with connecting it without it being hooked up

Mine will only work in one usb port on my laptop I not sure why but I suspect the program or drive names a port. Thats where you need to look.

Well I tried all my USB ports and lo and behold one of them worked, so for sure you don't need the box on the sled. Now I just need to improve my Englitalian. Manual could use some work. LOL

uninstall all rb3 software then leave key off in sled. plug in sled to usb port then follow steps for install. DONT TURN KEY ON
