You need to read on Hondata's forum all the locked S200 threads.
You would need an emulator, and chip burner to tune an S200.
And a rom editing software from Hondata.( not sure if available anymore)
Not to mention the cable(s)
A Keyspan usb/serial converter is recommended to interface with the box, and I remember something about a special cable they used to sell, but nothing S200 is supported anymore.
You could try Ebay for the parts. (push button and clutch switch)
I have them and mine won't work, cant set two step or vtec changeover.
I think tuner locked it or something.
They want us to upgrade.

You can upgrade from hondata s100 or s200 to s300:

the registration platform for RE4 isnot supported anymore,
Hondata will let you send in your s200 and $399 to upgrade to a basic s300 -_-
you can still download it though, i know here in the midwest KING wants $350 just to setup s200 to your specific vehicle, because its a pain in the *** i havent even gotten datalog to work on my own if i can find the disc s200 came with i would be able to write up a huge thread for everyone to learn how to do the setup themselves if there semi tech savi.

for both my vehicles i picked up a burn2 and read PGMFI.Org for a few hours jacked up on coffee and came across wiki bin dump files for CROME with preset user created maps and went through and edited them to my preferences and have 2 reliable vehicles off custom basemaps, it definetly isnt for everyone but it sure was time consuming and fun learning new tricks of the trade.

i put over 8000miles on my boosted d16 last year even driving 2 hours to WIR for RSD running some passes and drove it back home with no issues

Heh. Young people and your "Phones". Thinking they can do everything, until they can't. You've really never owned anything like a desktop or laptop? You're the next generation of technology, right?
(Just giving you ****, my friend )

Just head to Newegg and get a refurbished Business laptop. In many cases, they even have an operating system already installed with a usable limited warranty. Pawn shops are never a place to get a laptop that actually functions

BAM! Didn't even take 20 seconds, player..

Refurbished: DELL C Grade Laptop E6420 Intel Core i5 2410M (2.30 GHz) 4 GB Memory 250 GB HDD 14.0" Windows 7 Home Premium 64-Bit - Newegg.com

Even if you have a laptop with no Optical Drive, it's not hard to get a slim drive that is USB compatible and plug it in.

Phone /Tablet or "Phablet". Still won't have the capability and RAM capacity a good laptop will (for the next couple of years, at least, unless it's a Surface Pro).
The Tablet getting wet so that you can't use the tablet with the keyboard was the Car Gods' way of telling you to use something more practical for your solution so you have less headache later.



Listen to the Car Gods... they know more than we ever will.
