My order:

1. power laptop
2. start car
3. plug in Xcal2
4. plug in usb cable
5. start livelink
Should see the passthrough writing on xcal2 screen
6 select pids to monitor
7. display on gauges.

I think the key for me was to have the xcal2 plugged in to the obd2 port first, and then hook it up to the pc before starting livelink. Who knows how it works for everyone else.
