Oh the dreaded waiting on emails,huh. That stinks man, keep bothering them till they send you what you want. Your missing all the fun here, bike week is in full effect, cant move at all. But good luck to you.

Did you get an email from Greddy because I have the same device but intructions in Japanese, it does say in there that it works with the Toyota bB, so it should work - when I connect it says read error unable to communicate with vehicle.... I select Toyota in the menu but it still doesn't find the xB.

I Called Them Asked For Tech Support ..Havent Gotten Very Good Results...It Still Sits In A Box On The Counter..Let Me Know If You Get Yours Working....Beginning To Think I Got Ripped Off

Well I called Greddy also, they have no idea why it isn't working on the xB - it is listded as working on the Toyota bB. I tried everything yesterday to get the thing to work; as I understand it the unit only has one signal wire which is white this connects to the SIL pin on the OBD as this is a K-LINE does the Scion xB require WFSE pin to turn on the ECU (L-LINE) ? wish I new what all the other color wires on the informeter were for then I could install the device straight off the ECU. Any ideas guys?????

Looks much better than the scangauge, nice little color screen with loads of settings, changable face plates comes with loads of them - but looks an't everything because the thing doesn't work, it hooks up but it can't connect to the xB's ecu, so it has no use..... so no I haven't taken any pictures, if it ever works I will be sure to.

Sure thing because the company I purchased it from istoreparts won't refund my money, Greddy have a warrenty lets see if they stand by it. Number to call I'm sure you know alreadyt is CA 92618
Tel: (949) 588-830 the other number on their website is no use they don't provide as much tech support. Still don't understand why this device works for the bB and not our xB, makes no sense they really need to provide a firmware update or something.

I know that on the Scangage you have to plug it in while the motor is running.
I dont know if any of you are trying it that way or not I dont know if this will help but worth a shot.
Good luck,Scott

Yes I heard that some units need the engine to be running BEFORE plugging the unit in, this is for vehicles that require a connection to the L-Line to turn the ECU on so they can communicate with each other - but the newer units only have a connection to the K-Line they use the K-Line to turn on the ECU if the car requires it. But the Greddy unit reads communication error wether the car is running, in start or anything it just can't communicate - I even rewired the Greddy Informeter as I have the wiring manual for the xB, still nothing.
