I see that I cant keep the thread that I started asking for help. Mine got merged with an old thread.

I didn't see the need for yet another Rostra testing thread when one was just active a few weeks ago...  please don't take offense (I am not sure why you would in any case) it is just standard housekeeping as what I perceive to be part of my mandate.

Don't mean to fob brag, but not only does it glow, mine also goes to eleven.

I am not offended,  but look at the help that was offered by merging my need for advice with a thread that has been active for weeks. 
Generally housekeeping is fine after the party, not right after invites are sent out.

OK, enough about glowing fobs.

sailor_chic, I see from the other thread that you got your Rostra working. Congrats, you are going to love it I'm sure. However, enquiring minds want to know...

Did the candles and waving fob work...or did you just give up on diagnostic mode and go out and test it....or did you find the problem that was preventing the diagnostic mode from working the way you expected it....or did I not see the post explaining all of this....or what?

Marty, Thank you! It was a very time consuming install and for some reason still unknown, I was having problems with the diagnostic mode. I had a  phone call or two with Brian, and he walked me through my connections and tested some things, and he said I was good to go, regardless of what the test lights on unit showed. So I took the bike for a little ride with half of the fairing removed and the unit engaged as it should. Today will be a 300+ mile test.
Many thanks to Brian for his time and expertice

+1 I've done 2 installs and both times I didn't get the diagnostic mode to work but the Rostra works fine on both bikes.

Glad to help if I can. And you really should post those photos of the install- they may embarrass some of us to do better work in the future (seriously).

I think you will really like the CC on that bike- finally you will be free to read, knit or even take a little nap while still making good time toward your destination. :-)

Yeah, they can be finicky to get into diagnostic mode and I have no idea why. Electronics in general are not 'finicky' either so not sure what is going on there. The Rostra is a fine, robust unit that serves very well but I do not think it was designed by Steve Wozniak, if you know what I mean....  ;)

I have a Audiovox C100 that's I never got around to installing on my C10.  I'd like a cruise the C14, should I get a Rostra or install the C100?

Rostra! Totally electronic and no vacuum canister. Easy to connect to the speed sensor.
