![]() I didn't want to deal with trying to keep XP running after all these years and the VM is a great alternative as it won't go obsolete. ![]() I'm running it as a VM using Oracle's Virtual Box (free download) and have had no issues at all. Two items not documented there are to 1) enable virtualization in the BIOS and 2) add your username to the virtual box user group if using Linux. If anyone is considering this the link up in comment #7 is what I followed and it worked great. It did not seem to get overly hot when I used it today and hopefully that issue has been resolved. There have been a few reports of these units overheating so I may add a small 40mm fan to the box or perhaps a heatsink to the processor. The ability to read the "actual values" rather than just fault codes should be a huge help in troubleshooting. I read back the PDK real time sensor data, confirmed the maintenance capabilities (fluid change, calibration), found an old stored fault code, and read the over rev report (70 stage 1 and 6 stage 2, seems typical for a PDK). ![]() After I got through a few configuration issues (my fault not the unit's) it was communicating with my car and working beautifully. First impressions are that it's solidly built, the box is heavy duty with a brushed aluminum case and high quality cables.
