I had problems like this with my Visor deluxe.  It seems that because 
the device does not exist (the visor) until you press the sync, because 
of USB hot-plug, the get-id does not work correctly.  It was a case (for 
me) of repeated  "press the visor button, dash to the mouse and click 
next" until it somehow worked.
