Anyone with a ZD30 using Nissan Data Scan (NDS1) . . . can't connect??

[richNAV]

Hello there,

After a fair bit of reading/research I purchased an OBD2 / Nissan Consult cable for my ZD30 and downloaded NDS1 on a Windows Laptop. So sitting in the car with the program open, the cable plugged in with light indicating power, ignition on but not started, and I can't connect. After hitting the connect button it appears as if its loading slowly but nothing happens. Any ideas?

Ta,
Rich

Hey Bro...thanks for your help. I’ve followed the steps but it still won’t connect. Not sure what that troubleshooting step is suggesting...uninstall and reinstall the software?
