Help; MSD Dashhawk

Hey guys;

Is anyone here running an MSD Dashhawk? I just got mine form Gravana and its not working on my car. The car is an '07 Cobalt SS/SC

The problem is that it hooks up and works great on the computer, but once I plug it into my Cobalt, it dosen't work (no information or backlight, the unit remains off). I double checked the MSD website to make sure my car is CAN compliant, and it is, but I'm sure you all know that.

Any help would be great, Gravana Tuning is a pain in the ass to get a hold of.

Thanks guys

*Edit* Its a dashhawk Gen. II

The ss-sc is not can compliant. Only the 2.2 and 2.4 are as they use a newer computer.

Here is a quote from the MSD forums.

Quote:

The SC cars do not have the newer E67 PCM (yet) and does NOT have CAN (except module to module). Still about a year away on those.
The non-SC and DI turbo cars do have the newer PCM and thus CAN.

I love using mine in my SS N/A for performance testing. But GM decided not to update the S/C so no dice there.
