Well, the included USB cable - whenever I plugged it in, 1 time out of 5, it would not even connect/device be seen. Just grabbed a USB cord from a device I had nearby and everytime I connected it to the OBD adapter, it recognized it. Eh, so baby steps.

Maybe it's not pin 7/8 and it's driver. Dunno. I had like 3 FtDI driver packages....each would not see hardware. Use the one with the package, and it finally got past Hardware Ready. However, it initial scan, it's coming up with cannot read ike or ews. I dunno if it's still driver related at this point..

Don't believe everything u read on the internet. Ha. Some say soldering 1/2 7/8 did not do squat. Others say it did the trick. It's like rolling the dice, and if one don't work, use the next google answer
