Actually, isn't that just because TX and RX were flipped? ISTR that the car plug is actually wired wrong. It's probably in the FAQ somewhere, but I can't find it ATM.


Yes. This is most likely the reason. The appropriate FAQ entry is this one:

I can't perform an upgrade, install a logo, or install a kernel when the player is in the docking sled..

Edit: Wait, he said he tried it both with and without the null modem adapter.

Maybe it's one of the other things listed in that FAQ entry. But the important thing to remember is this: When you plug straight into the back of the empeg, it must be a null-modem cable. When you plug into the docking sled, it must NOT be a null modem cable.

Another possibility is that Hijack is doing something special in DC mode that it's not doing in AC mode. But he said he tried "force DC"... Does it work indoors when you try Force DC?
