    They will be greyed out until you hit the connect button. Once you hit the connect button are they still greyed out?

    same problem using 2.1.6 on my 99 buick century...histograms come up as "vehicle unsupported" when I click on the table to see if its just a table error...it with gather the parameters & even scan then but it would need all custom histos to work and the bi directional controls are all grayed...works fine on my 00 gtp & 98 v6 camaro though. I got the info txt file saved if you need it.
    It doesn't have to be perfect, it just needs to be done in two weeks...

    viper, use the latest 2.1.6 and that should fix your problem.

    For us to support the vcm controls on the 99 buick centruy, we'd need you to read the vehicle and send it to us (which requires a license).

    VCM Controls are Operating system specific, so we can only support them on the operating systems we have obtained.
