mini maxx problems

[matt081288]

I have a mini maxx on my truck, that i bought used. It has an issue of getting stuck at initializing communication with the truck. Anytime i want to update or change tunes i have to fiddle and adjust the cable in the back of the tuner for 20 minutes to get it to work. I cant even leave it hooked up for fear it will throw a code and diable my obd port. Is there any way i can get this fixed or seen about? please let me know.

try a different HDMI cable

I have tried 4 different ones from the cheap up to the 30 dollar monster cable all with the same results.

you can try a new OBD-II block. If that doesn't cure it, you're going to be out some money for a head unit repair/replacement

that sucks because i know it is the headunit itself. I was just hoping maybe the guys on here could help me out. Any idea what it would cost?

so you bought or borrowed another OBD-II block already? I thought you just tried different HDMI cables

[matt081288]

the only time the problem occurs is when the headunit itself is moved. If i am holding the end where the headunit goes the only time i can get it to work is if i fiddle with the headunit until it actually connects, thus i assume this is where the problem lies.

bad connection at the circuit board. I see it a lot with XRT Pros, but rarely with Mini Maxxes because Minis stay plugged in all the time. If the cable is in a bind and the connection is side-loaded, it will cause the problem you're having
