I have a mac. I want to have my car tuned, but be able to datalog and stuff. Is the UTEC software compatible? Are any of the EM choices compatible?

Currently, the UTEC has no "software". You use a generic terminal program (e.g. the HyperTerminal program that comes with Windows) to connect to the UTEC through a serial port.

People have connected to UTEC with a Mac without issues.

I use a mac compatible serial -> usb adapter, and a program called ZTerm.

I also boot windows XP with Parallels to run UTI so that I can log with my AEM UEGO wideband o2 sensor.

Just logging with a mac terminal program is easy, running it through windows under OSX is a bit more challenging... let me know if I can help.

Upgrading the UTEC firmware may be difficult. I think the flashing program is PC specific. Of course, this is not an issue if all you want to do is log.

Hey Chris, so if I get the serial/usb connector, how do you set this up in OS X? Does Zterm just recognise the usb com port and allow you to connect?

Another option might be to buy a cheap handheld/laptop PC (with a com port), but does anyone know of a good option on this front?

Thanks in advance

Openecu.org.... you can get the Enginuity software to work on the Mac w/the Tactrix cable..... just a thought.
