Default Power Comander software help

I put the CD in computer and the window comes up with the install Software button on the upper left corner but I cant click on it. I can click on the middle part that says Power comander but that takes me to the PCV user guide and Im suposed to click on my model but I cant click on that either.

Please help

I had that problem when I got mine too. You can download the software from Dynojet's website though.

if you download it, you will be sure to have the latest version. what is on the disk may be 2 or more versions old.

I don't know, what is your goal? Is the PCV already installed on your bike, and if so does it already have a map in it?

Go back to the DYNOJET web site and put in the year and make of your bike on the download page and it will come up with a list of available maps for your bike. You can download individual maps or all of the maps for your bike

PCV Is on the bike. It says it comes with a Map for a stock bike. I did what you mentioned above but the file came in zipped up . I checked and its not in the software.

Still working on it . I have installed a Fat Cat 2 into 1 and have a Arlen Ness big sucker in the mail. I found a map that should be close to what I need. I just cant figure out how to get it in the software I downloaded.

Unzip the file and remember where it is saved. After you open the software on the bottom left there is a "Open Map" button. Click on that find the map you saved and open it. After the map opens in the software you can send it to the PCV with the "Send Map" button that is next to the Open Map button you just used.
