can anyone help please.. I downloaded the manual and installed the boost controller . When I turn the key on it comes on just fine and I can go through the functions. But once I turn the car on I get just a blue light and no parameter display. I can scroll the knob and it makes sound, also makes sound with the select and mode button but I cant see anything. I turn the car off and i can see everything fine again. Anyone ???

oh man... that's real weird... what wire are you tapping power from? 12v on that wire?

jsu1012 · 07-03-2014, 05:32 PM

Yes. Soooooo if i turn the car on, and unplug the power plug and plug it back in it works. If I turn the car off and start it back it doesn't . I have to unplug it and plug back in for it to display

Sounds like the timer has had better days. Good luck bro, I think you should open it up and see if any of the solders are gone.

MrMigs · 07-03-2014, 07:48 PM

By any chance did you buy this used?

Yes from a member on here.

Welp, I think I found the problem then.... jk

not jk

But in all seriousness... maybe the people over at Greddy can help. Possibly they've had customers call about this issue before. Have you tried phoning them? They've got pretty decent support. If possible, ask for a guy named Andrew

Good luck

Thanks man . I called them but the tech was busy so I sent him an email.

MrMigs · 07-04-2014, 12:29 PM

If you were able to send it to a person's direct email address, like [email protected] -- perfect. If they told you to send it to a general mailbox, like tech@greddy or info@greddy, you might not get a reply anytime soon, just a heads up. In which case, I'd try calling back until you can catch tech on the phone.

jsu1012 · 07-04-2014, 01:29 PM

you're probably right . Fml. Thanks man, I'll call them on Monday.

MrMigs · 07-04-2014, 01:45 PM

Most welcome sire

jsu1012 · 07-04-2014, 07:30 PM

It's a shame really, all i wanted to do was buy a good working boost controller. oh well , paypal dispute is open.

Hook ot up to a different 12v and ground. That thing only has 12v and ground if it works when the car off, then it should be fine. Hook it to a different power source. Different ground and diffrent 12 volts. Good luck

jsu1012 · 07-04-2014, 07:50 PM

I tried that.
