If you plugged in your X3/SF3/Livewire Tuner before you installed the software, you may need to manually install the drivers. A sign of this is if you get Errors coming up when trying to use the functions of the X3/Livewire Updater. Examples of the Errors are: “Failed to Write Data” "Connect Livewire" or others. If so, this is how you fix it:

  • Plug in the Tuner.

  • Click on Start/
  • Then Right Click on My Computer/
  • Then Hit Properties/
  • When the System Properties Window Opens Up Click on the Hardware Tab/
  • Then Click on the Device Manager Button.

  • Within the Device Manager list, we are looking for an item with a Yellow Exclamation Mark. It may say LIVEWIRE, UPGRADE LOADER, UNKNOWN DEVICE or others.

  • Right click on the item that has the Yellow Mark on it, and then click on Update Driver.

  • This will open the FOUND NEW HARDWARE WIZARD. Let it search automatically and install the drivers.

  • NOTE: This will only work if the software has been installed, if you have not installed the software yet. Do it by going to the Downloads page.
