Did this Amazon Dongle work for you ?

Re: Austro Wizard - Don't Leave Home Without It
I think the Austro part is based on that part, but has a custom firmware to allow the Austro Engine Wizard software to decide which features to unlock in the software. It's not impossible to imagine someone patching the software to remove this check, but I am not aware of anyone having done it.wseidel wrote: Tue Aug 20, 2024 7:29 pm https://www.amazon.com/CAN-Adapter-PCAN ...

Does this also look like the part?

Re: Austro Wizard - Don't Leave Home Without It
Guys, sorry for the delay. Short answer is No, not yet. I couldn't get it to work, Wizard installed ok but doesn't see the adapter. I'm due to be at my DSC on the 10th Sept and was going to get them to have a look at the set up. As it is it seems we will be discussing bigger issues.nprasla wrote: Fri Aug 30, 2024 8:27 pmDonkadillapig,Donkadillapig wrote: Wed May 01, 2024 9:49 pm Indeed it seems these are pretty "common garden", I've bought one on Amazon for $289 and will report back.

I'm cynically hoping my plane is stolen and torched in the corner of the airfield by some joy riders before then.

Re: Austro Wizard - Don't Leave Home Without It
I took a peak and disassembly of \Austro Engine\AE 300 - Wizard\DataAbstraction.dll
There are 6 dongle codes it reads from the hardware,
21027,
21025,
21039,
21031,
21038
Which set the role and determine what features the Wizard will allow:
Lite,
Maintainance,
OEM,
Qualified_Maintainance,
WDAE,
Unknown,
Count,
It's probably easier just to get the real dongle to be supported correctly.
