The 12V is stepped down to 9V inside the PCIII.
The reason they don't want you to have the bike on is so you dont accidentially turn it off during the update.
Again, you can do it with the 12Volts... but like you said the Book does say have it off....
I've done it both ways.

I was reflashing mine and the laptop died mid-course. It was a total brick. Wouldn't light up or nothing. Jamie hooked me right up. Had it back with less than a week downtime (which wasn't downtime anyway, just put the stock airbox back on and rode it).

RE: KILLED my Power Commander today
Stopped by a dealer today and got into a long discussion with the service manager. he happens to ride an 06 Road Glide. He runs V&H ovals, SE AC, and PCIII with Stage 1 ECM downoad.
This is my NEW PLAN . . . Install my PCIII and ride the bike to the dealer. Hook the 02 sensors back up, remove the PCIII and have the Stage 1 download done. Then ride it. I will not install the PCIII again unless I feel it is necessary or I want to see what difference it makes. I am surious to see how the bike runs with the download compared to the PCIII.
There is another advantage to this. If the PCIII goes bad in the future I can simply remove it and take off without worries. If I tried that with the stock ECM, I would be running dangerously lean.
Yes, the new plan is costing me $150 for the download but I feel it is money well spent.
What do you think? Am I full of it or am I on the right track???
Thanks.

I killed my PCIII today. Hooked it up to my laptop to check if I needed a firmware upgrade. Found that I did have an older version so I want to upgrade the firmware. Here is where I screwed up. I powered it up WITH THE IGNITION....

RE: KILLED my Power Commander today
Go to the Dynojet site and spend some time looking at the files and instructions. All the info is there.
