Okay, i have been trying to use my datascan for a few days now and have zero results. I am currently using the unregistered version bc i wanted to make sure it worked before i registered.
I am using the track consult bluetooth and when i hit connect it starts showing its connected (solid blue light on dongle) then after a second or two it just freezes. Never actually connects.

I have uninstalled, reinstalled etc etc
I have used a different usb port for my bluetooth on my laptop.
I have checked my bluetooth drivers and it says they r uo to date.
Im using windows 10 on an hp compaq notebook. Is it just a shitty bluetooth connection or is my laptop a P.O.S. or us something wrong with my datscan.....need some input.
Have bought datascan liscenses twice now if i recall and have never had any sucess actually using it on a laptop. Whats the deal?? Help would be greatly appreciated

Also im running a z32 ecu with rs enthalpy tune for my rb25det neo. Dont know if it helps.

it may be that youre using Windows 10. ive used it in the past with my WindowsXP netbook and it worked fine... but i was also using a USB based consult port plug, not a bluetooth version. bluetooth may also be causing the issues.

i believe Datascan was written for software based on Windows 7 and below.

honestly your best bet is to invest in NISTune... its made specifically for Nissan hardware. Its helped me tackle all kinds of stupid little problems with my SR over the years with zero issues. it runs just fine on Windows 7 as well (laptop i was using was Windows 7 home edition)
