Well it made the connection the first time I ran it, I then tried to move to rich view and it wouldn't connect (when I've found this problem I stopped carman and when restarted it found it straight away ... not sure if this is an issue with changing to rich view when normal view is already open).

I have had only one disconnect whilst in use. Using Diablo, so hoping that "new" version of carman will have have some better connection software.
