    Vessel view won't connect

    1b042681. Just purchased vessel view mobile and when I go to connect, it says cannot complete initial setup. I followed the instructions. Any input?

    I bought one and haven't tried it yet, so I'm interested too.

    I had to reload the App. And register again. Works great.

    I initially had the same error. Then realized I didn't follow the instructions exactly right. Double check all the connections directly from the manual

    What did you forget to do, hook up the terminator?

    I didn't have a yellow terminator on my engine. It only had a black weather cap

    I'm following all of the VVM threads to see how it pans out. I've downloaded the app and played with it a bit. I hope the functionality is better than it appears. The app seems to be poorly designed. For example: The checklist offers to way to edit entries or change the order. You have to delete the whole thing and start over. That may not be a big deal in itself, but could reflect the overall structure of the app.

    Anything lighting up on the module when you turn the key on?

    He didn't have the yellow cap re-installed on the pigtail.

    I think he actually didn't have a terminating resistor in the first place (missing from the engine).

    The terminator cap is on and it again seems to be installed according to manual.

    You really need to open a new topic for your engine and be sure to include your engine serial number.
