Tonyrodz's Tahoe Build Thread

I didn't get it.

You need it. The Autocal is no good to you if you can’t transfer the files to and from it to a computer so you can email them. The one cable you have is to transfer the files to and from your vehicle. You have to be able to transfer your datalog files to a folder on a computer for emailing, and you need to copy tune files from the email that Blackbear sends to you to a folder on a computer, and then copy them from there to the Autocal and then load the tune to your truck. I’m not sure if it’s proprietary, maybe Wes can look at the end and tell since it kind of looks like he’s into computer stuff. The other end is just USB. I’m sure BB has an extra cable you can get.

me too, but....you know what they say takes money to make money I have been buying from them for almost 10 years watched them grow from a little place to baller. The owner started going to china and having products made and shipped over here in containers, he started out making some Segway type products that didn't really take off but then he came up with bumpboxx which are old school styled boom boxes (now bluetooth instead of cassette) and part of his marketing strategy was to send free bumpboxx's to all the NFL teams and that has now really taken off, he doesn't even come to work anymore lol
https://bumpboxx.com/ some of those boom boxes are $895 !!!!

Wow. That’s awesome. Yeah I know about the bumpboxx pretty cool.

It’s a USB 2.0 / 2.1 (standard) on the PC end. The other end that plugs in to the autocal is also USB, but 1.0. Here’s an example: Monoprice 1.5-Feet USB 2.0 A Male to B Male 28/24AWG Cable (Gold Plated) (105436),Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009GUVZOK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_fabc_95eYFb297YWED

Printer cable is all that is? I’m sure you can find one of those around somewhere. Maybe @Doubeleive has one or ten in all of his stuff!

that's just a usb A cable, you can probably get one at walmart, target, bestbuy, walgreens, etc. if you have a old usb printer or scanner floating around it's the same cable
