looking for info or a picture on where the 4 pin connector plugs in on a ex200-2. I ordered the ebay version of dr.zx pc version for less than 60 bucks free shipping so im going to give it a try, but I cant seem to find where it plugs in. the only 4 pin I could see is currently plugged in to another connector. a pic would be great. thanks

I bought the Dr ZX for PC from China and have yet to find someone capable of installing it. I am getting almost no response from the seller. If anyone here could help it would be greatly appreciated.

I don't know if it will work on the zaxis-3 series will it? I thought they were for the older systems. I may be wrong but that's how I thought it worked.

Dan, drzx will not talk to the heater controller all it will connect to is engine and hydraulic controller. Most likely you need a heater controller, they fail all the time but usually they lose the use of the mode button first.

Double check your connections and fuse but I think you will need a new controller. The controller has its own way of displaying codes on its little screen and talks to no other controller in the machine.

I know it sucks since those controllers are so damn expensive but they to fail quite often. I've replaced them in every one of our 2004-2008 machines at least once. You can try http://www.brikers.com/ he may have a used one but I would hate to spend half of new and have it fail soon after install. Make sure you get the right one also, there are more than one option.
