I've recently bought a Apexi FC Commander Pro cable with software package, and I used the serials and download passwords to download the software but it won't let me activate the software. It only comes up with registration fails and "check your internet connection". I know I am on internet and I am not behind a firewill or have any port routing. Im suspecting that the Apexi activation server is down! Does anybody know how to contact Apexi via email? I can't get trough on telephone :rofl:

And does anybody know if you can use Datalogit with the apexi cable and box? or do I have to have the datalogit dongle?

datalogit i dont believe works with the apexi pro cable. i am pretty sure datalogit only works with their specific box.

fc tune should however. would be interested in letting me "borrow" the software so i can try and "make it work" >_<

hey i Actually did this recently. No Data Logic is totally Diff, requires their Hardware with 'Their' Software.

We had some issues getting it activated also. Found the link we were provided didnt work after 5pm.. ??? worked fine the next morning at 8am. strange i thought.

its the english software, i've tried to activate the software several times a day for a whole week now and still I cannot get trough and its annoying the shit out of me. I paid alot for the package and Im going to the dynos in a couple of days. It's a 12 hour drive to the nearest dyno shop so its important I have everything in order before I go =)

I'll try FC Tune beta from the rx7 forum today and see if I get contact with my pfc.

I finaly got a hold on Apexi USA via telefone, and they reset my serial number. They said it was a common bug but after a reset my activation worked after 15 minutes! So now I am a happy puppy :) FC Pro had a very extensive help file, I hope Paul makes good use on it on his excellent powerfc faq homepage :banana: thanks alot Paul33! :)

yeah the fc pro you brought is the same as the power excel fc pro, but the one you have is in english

the fc pro that got leaked is in japaense, but they both do the same thing. same as datalogit really

Finally did you succeed in the registration?

If not I can help you.

Have you done uninstall and installation again on different computer?

I can lend you the software. Which one you want? English or Japanese version.

Can you really make it work?

Can you do installation without registration?

also noticed the help for fc pro is in english

just unlocked some good info and some english translationn on some of the features

swoittttttttttttttttttt

To read the help is not enough. Can you run the program and read the help from inside?

    • Hi, is the HKS  Tower Bar still available ? negotiable ? 🤔
    • From there, it is really just test and assemble. Plug the adapter cables from the unit into the back of the screen, then the other side to the car harness. Don't forget all the other plugs too! Run the cables behind the unit and screw it back into place (4 screws) and you should now have 3 cables to run from the top screen to the android unit. I ran them along the DS of the other AV units in the gap between their backets and the console, and used some corrugated tubing on the sharp edges of the bracket so the wires were safe. Plug the centre console and lower screen in temporarily and turn the car to ACC, the AV should fire up as normal. Hold the back button for 3 sec and Android should appear on the top screen. You need to set the input to Aux for audio (more on that later). I put the unit under the AC duct in the centre console, with the wifi antenna on top of the AC duct near the shifter, the bluetooth antenna on the AC duct under the centre console The GPS unit on top of the DS to AC duct; they all seem to work OK there are are out of the way. Neat cable routing is a pain. For the drive recorder I mounted it near the rear view mirror and run the cable in the headlining, across the a pillar and then down the inside of the a pillar seal to the DS lower dash. From there it goes across and to one USB input for the unit. The second USB input is attached to the ECUtec OBD dongle and the 3rd goes to the USB bulkhead connected I added in the centre console. This is how the centre console looks "tidied" up Note I didn't install the provided speaker, didn't use the 2.5mm IPod in line or the piggyback loom for the Ipod or change any DIP switches; they seem to only be required if you need to use the Ipod input rather than the AUX input. That's it, install done, I'll follow up with a separate post on how the unit works, but in summary it retains all factory functions and inputs (so I still use my phone to the car for calls), reverse still works like factory etc.
    • Place the new daughterboard in the case and mount it using the 3 small black rivets provided, and reconnect the 3 factory ribbon cables to the new board Then, use the 3 piggyback cables from the daughterboard into the factory board on top (there are stand offs in the case to keep them apart. and remember to reconnect the antenna and rear cover fan wires. 1 screw to hold the motherboard in place. Before closing the case, make a hole in the sticker covering a hole in the case and run the cable for the android unit into the plug there. The video forgot this step, so did I, so will you probably. Then redo the 4 screws on back, 2 each top and bottom, 3 each side and put the 2 brackets back on.....all ready to go and not that tricky really.      
    • Onto the android unit. You need to remove the top screen because there is a daughterboard to put inside the case. Each side vent pops out from clips; start at the bottom and carefully remove upwards (use a trim remover tool to avoid breaking anything). Then the lower screen and controls come out, 4 screws, a couple of clips (including 3 flimsy ones at the top) and 3 plugs on the rear. Then the upper screen, 4 screws and a bunch of plugs and she is out. From there, remove the mounting brackets (2 screws each), 4 screws on the rear, 2 screws top and bottom and 3 screws holding in the small plates on each side. When you remove the back cover (tight fit), watch out for the power cable for the fan, I removed it so I could put the back aside. The mainboard is held in by 1 screw in the middle, 1 aerial at the top and 3 ribbon cables. If you've ever done any laptop stuff the ribbon cables are OK to work with, just pop up the retainer and they slide out. If you are not familiar just grab a 12 year old from an iphone factory, they will know how it works The case should now look like this:
    • Switching the console was tricky. First there were 6 screws to remove, and also the little adapter loom and its screws had to come out. Also don't forget to remove the 2 screws holding the central locking receiver. Then there are 4 clips on either side....these were very tight in this case and needed careful persuading with a long flat screw driver....some force required but not enough to break them...this was probably the fiddliest part of the whole job. In my case I needed both the wiring loom and the central locking receiver module to swap across to the new one. That was it for the console, so "assembly is the reverse of disassembly"
