1st does the key have to be on for the PC5 to accept a map?
Yes. Think of it as its own little computer. Computers work in a 0 to 5v range. The 12v is fed into an integrated chip. The chip's output coverts 12 to 5v, and to get the pc hot for 5v, you need the 9v connector that goes into the pc. That, or a laptop with a fairly long extension USB cord from pc to the laptop. That was my setup. It was a pain to pull pc's when I had them permanently mounted. I'd put the charger on if I was going to keep the key on and wear down the battery.
I am guessing no only because all it does is hook to the battery and plug into the harness so it probably has power with the key off.
No. It has to get power when the bike is running, so key off, that pc has to shutoff too, or it will drain the battery. Can't go directly off the battery. I used the horn wire that had power with key on and got the pc hot that way.

Same camp with Rook. I'm going by memory:
1. I'd go on their website and find every 14 map and just play with them as far as seat of the pants difference.
2. I'd start at the top of the list and if I recall, you can drag the map or whatever bar/radio button has the hot hand, I'd hold left mouse key, then drag the map onto the desktop. I'd see the pc icon on the desktop, which showed me it did bring all the files.
3. I'd now have the USB cord plugged into pc and laptop to bring that map up in the pc. This way, I didn't have to look up the map, it was on the desktop and I'd drag the map onto or over the other map(?) I think there were some radio buttons that may have said to 'lookup a map' or 'accept a map' button?
4. I'd first drag the current map back onto the desktop so I could drag that back in if need be.
5. I'd have to sign on to walk the steps on the website. I got as far as the 14 maps, w/many pages. So to the right of each map it had the radio button [call it] to 'login' to keep walking.

Computer savvy are you:
I don't think the pc has bluetooth to go that route. But from the cable the phone uses for charging? Can we plug that other end into the pc? I'd call dynojet on that cell phone to pc if possible question.
