AutoCal Black Bear Performance?

Hello everyone, I just signed up a few days ago after reading tons of posts and most recently about the BB tune. I went ahead and purchased the AutoCal with the free tune and just got it in today. I am not sure if I am posting in the right section so I apologize in advance. I am following the directions listed on the AutoCal website and I cant seem to power up the device once I plug it into my OBDII port, am I suppose to have a laptop plugged in as well? Thanks guys, oh and I already emailed them asking for some help but they are busy with a tune meet I think.

is it supposed to draw power from the truck to run?

I thought it was but after reading a little bit in some other forums I am guessing that I need to have my laptop in the Tahoe as well to provide power to the AutoCal unit. I'll see if anyone that has used it will chime in, thanks for the welcome.

you shure you dont have a blown XXXX fuse?

One of the fuses drops power to the OBDII port.. checkem...

Just checked all the fuses on the side panel and engine bay, all good. I also plugged in a regular OBII code reader and it worked fine. I'm a little lost but I'll keep trying the steps it shows on the AutoCal website as to how to get it ready to read/log. Thanks for the input...

I go to the login link on the top right and put in my email and serial number and then it takes me to the page with all the steps to set up the AutoCal.

here is the link to the actual page that it takes me to, not sure if it will show without the log in credentials...
