I bought this cable off ebay which cost 71 dollars inc delivery and it took about 1 week to arrive, received it this morning, installed the software tried plugging it in and this is what happened: ERROR missing com.dat file and PLEASE CONNECT TO ECU plug. It's not a snug fit when I tried connecting it.... did I get ripped off, should I get a refund? Did I order the wrong one and should have ordered the cheap 14 dollar one? ARGH SO FRUSTRATING! Pics below of what happened.

Does the com port show up in Device manager when the cable is connected to your PC?

should be able to find the proper machine just as easy. other one is conzult. that comes as a package.

EDIT: thanks for the help, what I did was install the USB drive properly from the download and NOT windows update, changed into ECUTALK and went into run device manager and input the correct COM port then it was good

Sorry to hijack your thread, but I would just like to hear from those who have bought the below or similar from egay:

Is it an ok product or some cheap inferior product? Recommndations? I would rather not spend $90 on a genuine cable from PLMS that will possibly only be used once or twice..

[Chris Rogers]

genuine cable would be my pick.

If you're going to get a cable, at least get a decent one like: http://ecutalk.com/interface.aspx

I've read so many people having dramas with cheap/poorly made cables.
