Hi guys,

today I had a weird problem. After a cold night with the tactrix cable in the car, I had problems connecting it to the laptop. I had USB port voltage power surge....

It took about 10 minutes to warm it up and then I was able to use it...

Have you guys seen this with a tactrix cable?

Phil

Tuns out some contact in the cable got flaky with the cold???

if I push back the cable into the obd casing, everything works :-(

isn't there a holder or a block inside the connector to prevent the cable from being pulled?

Could be a "cold" solder joint affected by temp.
