I just got my Holley Terminator x installed on my 1990 gt. I Used the handheld for start up and basic but I have been having trouble trying to connect the ecu to my laptop, it just says offline in the toolbar when I have it connected. I have a Mac but am using parallels to run windows. This computer only has usb-c ports so I am using a usb to usb-c adapter. Could this cause it not to connect? Is my Cable bad? Has anybody else used a usb-c adapter to tune? Should I just get a cheap windows computer to run it?

Any help is appreciated, Thanks

I use a MacBook as well and only has USB-C. The question I have is this a MacBook with a M series processor? If so it won’t work, needs to be Intel based. I’ve gotten some of the M series to work but it’s hit and miss.

Mine has had issues staying connected too. It's just very finicky it seems like.
