Yes, this is something that has been plaguing me recently as well. It turns 
out that the problem lies within the 33.6 Sportsters having to do with error 
control/error correction. And, supposedly, one just needs to add in the 
correct command codes upon connection for it to work. I am awaiting a 
response from a friend of mine knowledgable in this area, will send you again 
after I find out. If you already know, pls let me know! Thanks alot!
