Mac users who choose to upgrade (or already have upgraded) to Mac OS Catalina (10.15.x) will need to uninstall all 3rd Party CAC enablers per https://militarycac.com/macuninstall.htm AND reenable the built in smart card ability (very bottom of macuninstall link above)
If you purchased your Mac with OS Catalina (10.15.x) already installed, you can skip the uninstall part above and follow the instructions below.
6 'high level' steps needed, follow down the page to make this a painless systematic process
| 1. | Is your CAC reader 'Mac friendly'? |
| 2. | Can your Mac 'see' the reader? |
| 3. | Verify which version of Mac OS you have |
| 4. | Figure out which CAC (ID card) you have |
| 5. | Install the DoD certificates |
| 5a. | Additional DoD certificate installation instructions for Firefox users |
| 6. | Decide which CAC enabler you want to use (except for 10.12-.15) |
Step 1: Is your CAC reader Mac friendly?
Visit the USB Readers page to verify the CAC reader you have is Mac friendly.
Visit the USB-C Readers page to verify the CAC reader you have is Mac friendly.
'Some, not all' CAC readers may need to have a driver installed to make it work.
NOTE: Readers such as: SCR-331 & SCR-3500A may need a firmware update (NO OTHER Readers need firmware updates).
Information about these specific readers are in Step 2
Step 2: Can your Mac 'see' the reader?
Plug the CAC reader into an open USB port before proceeding, give it a few moments to install
Step 2a: Click the Apple Icon in the upper left corner of the desktop, select 'About This Mac'
Step 2b: Click 'System Report..' (button)
Step 2c: Verify the CAC reader shows in Hardware, USB, under USB Device Tree. Different readers will show differently, most readers have no problem in this step. See Step 2c1 for specific reader issues.
Step 2c1: Verify firmware version on your SCR-331 or GSR-202, 202V, 203 CAC, or SCR-3500a reader. If you have a reader other than these 5, Proceed directly to step 3
Step 2c1a-SCR-331 reader
If your reader does not look like this, go to the next step.
In the 'Hardware' drop down, click 'USB.' On the right side of the screen under 'USB Device Tree' the window will display all hardware plugged into the USB ports on your Mac. Look for “SCRx31 USB Smart Card Reader.” If the Smart Card reader is present, look at 'Version' in the lower right corner of this box: If you have a number below 5.18, you need to update your firmware to 5.25. If you are already at 5.18 or 5.25, your reader is installed on your system, and no further hardware changes are required. You can now Quit System Profiler and continue to Step 3.
Step 2c1b-SCR-3500A reader
If you have the SCR3500A P/N:905430-1 CAC reader,you may need to install this driver, as the one that installs automatically will not work on most Macs. Hold the control key [on your keyboard] when clicking the .pkg file [with your mouse], select [the word] Open
Step 3: Verify which version of MacOS do you have?
(You need to know this information for step 6)
Step 3a: Click the Apple Icon in the upper left corner of your desktop and select 'About This Mac'
Step 3b: Look below Mac OS X for: Example: Version 10.X.X.
Step 4: Figure out which CAC (ID Card) you have
(You need to know this information for step 6)
Look at the top back of your ID card for these card types. If you have any version other than the six shown below, you need to visit an ID card office and have it replaced. All CACs [other than these six] were supposed to be replaced prior to 1 October 2012.

RacerMate CompuTrainer Pro – MSRP $1629.00
CompuTrainer by Racermate is perhaps one of the longest running training products on the market. Originally making it’s debut in 1986, it’s the first electronic bicycle trainer/ergometer with interactive motivational software and course creation all in one bundle. Over the years, the product has been tweaked and improved and today, it’s still the most relied upon training tools for weekend warriors and International Pros alike. The CompuTrainer simulates real courses, pre-programmed or imported from GPS, measuring wattage, speed, cadence, and even pedal efficiency.
Manufactured by RacerMate in Seattle, WA, CompuTrainer is offered in a few different versions. All built on the same basic hardware and technology, you can chose from the basic trainer (solo), a 2 person system, or the multi-rider system that accommodates up to 8 riders (A popular option with many of the larger coaching companies like Carmichael Training).
The CompuTrainer Pro, the basic stand alone unit, retails for $1649, and seems pretty expensive when compared to say a fluid trainer. But when you consider it’s comprable to an SRM or PowerTap in terms of it’s training usefulness it’s quite on par pricing wise. The CompuTrainer comes with a 1500 Watt electronic load generator, microprocessor handlebar controller with LCD display, Posilock rear mount stand, cadence sensor, Polar wireless HR receiver, front wheel support, and power supply. The Pro Load Generator is rated to give you 1500+ watts at peak load capacity, far more than most any other trainer available today. It’s a patented design that is not only quiet and smooth in operation, but it’ll simulate grades up to 15%. CompuTrainer is controlled by RacerMate One, a software suite that is included, and will require a windows based PC to run. The software simulates outdoor cycling indoors using real courses, either preprogrammed or imported from GPS data. Connecting the trainer to a Windows based PC is done via a USB cable. The software includes 3D Cycling, Real Course Video, Classic MultiRider. Power Training, and SpinScan.

The heart of the CompuTrainer is the 1500 watt electronic load generator. Combined with the software, it provides the resistance in sync with what you’re riding on screen. In 3D Cycling, you can race up to 8 riders or pacers (virtual riders) through a virtual 3D track, simulating real world conditions, even gravel roads and grades up to 15%. It also allows you to start any where on a course and end any place. This is in case you have some time constraints and don’t want to do the whole course. If you want, you can also purchase real course videos that are filmed in HD, and ride real race day videos of many courses. Giving you the sense that you are really on the course. Riding indoors on a trainer to some is pure misery, but this system really helps minimize the agony. Visual aspects will keep you engaged, with the constant terrain changes and chasing a virtual partners, even drafting a peloton or other rider are simulated quite well.
CompuTrainer also includes SpinScan. SpinScan allows you to view and analyze your pedal stroke. Correcting pedal stroke, will not only help your efficiency, your power output will go up as well. Power Training mode, is a time watts testing and measurement tool. It’s quite useful and proven to be pretty accurate. The wattage reading was reading a bit lower than our Garmin/Quark readings, but it was consistent and within ±2.5%. The newest module to the software is Time Trial Software, it’s an interactive race that will allow you race a course using real world courses preselected by RacerMate. At the end of the race, you upload your effort to be ranked with others who have uploaded their efforts. Just another option to keep that indoor training session interesting.
Back to the hardware, the Posilock rear mount stand can be hard to get setup correctly. A little more difficult than a standard trainer, but not impossible. Out of the box, all the parts included do make it seem overwhelming, but following the instructions, setup took less than an hour (hardware and software setup). Though it does make it so you may want to think twice about taking your bike on and off it regularly. The mount is extremely sturdy, being one of the only ones on the market that is capable of supporting a tandem bike with two riders. We felt quite confident on the bike while in the stand as we worked on steep efforts in and out of the saddle. The mechanism to lock the bike in place is different from other trainers we’ve tested, but we believe the extra precautions are so that you don’t accidentally over tighten your bike, which can happen with handle driven locking mechanisms.
Bottom Line
We’ve been using the CompuTrainer system for 2 years now and the system continues to perform flawlessly. Some of our testers swear their best workouts are on the CompuTrainer. Nothing beats the out doors, but when mother nature makes it impossible to ride outside, you can count on the CompuTrainer to give you an excellent workout. The ability to setup 2 trainers together to ride with a buddy or ride against a pacer is an added bonus. We’ve had some buddies bring their bikes over for a little throw down. Some seriously good workouts racing your buddy up some of these climbs can make those foul weather days, positive training days.
The price of admission will seem high, but you won’t be able to replicate the intensity and workouts on any other trainer as easily as you can with the CompuTrainer. Programming the power workout and riding at that intensity is just as easy as setting it and pedaling away, allowing you to just focus on form and spinning efficiency, rather than mashing to try to reach higher power. The interactiveness of the software with riders in the room or online just adds another very welcome distraction to having to pedal indoors. For extremely serious riders, looking to improve their form and performance, we have no problem suggesting you look at the CompuTrainer as your indoor trainer of choice.
