Allow me the ignorance
I have a map installed on my PC III and want to change it to a newer version. The PC III is jammed between the frame and the rear mudguard, but I was careful enough to connect the USB wire which I now keep under my seat.
My question is, having a Laptop with the software installed, how can I change the map on the PC III? If I have to have the engine running I will suffocate before I end the mod, having my bike in a garage and thats about my only option. How do I save the map I had just in case my new one does not work?

First, smart thinking on making the USB cable available.
If you're just uploading a map, it only takes a few seconds to update the PCIII. Literally, by the time you release the Enter key on your laptop, it's done. You can hold your breath that long.

You do notneed to have the motor running to change the map if you have the 9 volt battrey connector for the power commander.You need to have the PCIII software installed on your laptop. last thing.... if you have a laptop why can't you run the bike outside while you do what you need with the bike and computer?
You only need the bike running if you are adjusting the fuel and air mixtures or don't have the battrey connector.
