Does anyone have and Ostrich Stand-Alone???
 
I just got my Ostrich today, and so far this thing is Sweet! I was wondering if anyone else has one? I was wondering what Files I should open up on the CD that comes with it, to get it set up for my car. There's alot of GM and Ford stuff on there, but I was wondering mainly what to do with the Driver stuff. If anyone else has an Ostrich, then they will know what I am talking about. Thanks alot guys

i myself dont have one. but will buy one eventually. i would imagine you would just install the drivers. update the drivers with the most recent ones on his website. hook it up to the ecu. open up crome on the laptop and connect with the ecu and go to town :P

if i remember right that cd is useless...go to his website and email him if you need a hand, he is quick to respond. And stop calling it a standalone...the ostrich is basically just something to save your .bin to without burning a chip

YAAAAR!! Ostrich is a change-on-the-fly chip, more or less. Saves you having to pull over, remove chip, burn it, reinstall, etc, 20-40 times during the tuning process. You just pointy clicky and the program updates in a couple seconds, while you drive, with no glitches. Can you say 450% faster for 780% less effort?

You only need to use the drivers if your computer doesnt recognize the USB drivers automatically...then you just install them like any USB drivers for a computer device. Point the installer to the proper folder and install.
