when connected battery charger.
Apparently,
the power delivered to the modern battery chargers not prevent that.
It
works perfectly when a second 12-volt car battery is connected.
YES - The TuneBoy USB cable will work with TuneECU.
restriction:
The

The hardware id of TuneBoy
cable is different vs. a generic/TuneECU FTDI cable.
So even though both cables have same chip, TuneBoy cable needs the
matching driver.
