I just ordered the same one, then ordered the USB BDM NT from Canada so I can play bdm too :shock: :shh:

Heads up for anyone getting an OBDX Pro for use with PCM Hammer: only use that combo for workbench flashing for now. I had great results that way, but my 2nd in-car reflash didn't go well and I had to pull the PCM and re-do it on my bench. The hardware is fine, but the app just needs some tuning to work well with it. I hope to have a new release in a week or so to fix this. 
Please don't PM me with technical questions - start a thread instead, and send me a link to it. That way I can answer in public, and help other people who have the same question. Thanks!

I installed PCM hammer onto my computer today, I first installed Version 009 but then saw this thread and installed 012. I am using OBDX Pro VT USB and a switched bench harness. When starting the program I go to the select device tab, but under the serial port drop down there are no options. Under the device select drop down OBDX Pro is an option. Did I not install it correctly?

AND, Thank you for all you folks have done!

Not a PcmHammer issue.

I would venture to guess it is a OBDX Pro VT installation issue. Divers didn't get installed or failed to install.

You are both correct, I did not have the driver installed for the OBDX Pro. I installed it successfully, but there was no change in version 012. I opened up version 009 since it was already installed and it seemed to let me do more. It wouldn't let me save the file from the pcm. I took a few screen shots. I will start a new thread so I am not cluttering up this one with unrelated info.

OK this is kinda strange. I just downloaded V.12 and when I test the comm link with the OBDLink LX on comm4 it tests successfully but then when I check "OK" under "Device" it shows "No device selected" and all the options are greyed out. I've attached the log file.
