When I plug in the HW gen3 into the fan connector all I see is a dim blue light. BTW my batt is full charge, I have upgraded to the latest release on both RX8's(V272) and the hotwire works when it is physically connected to my PC.

Any ideas. A friend told me that my hotwire might need to be updated.
On your Gen3, make 100% sure your fan setting is set to "always on." If it's set to be thermally controlled it will not power the HW BE unit up properly. The Gen2 should be defaulted in alaways on, so should the Gen3; but I have seen guys switch it by accident.
