Thanks

The problem may be in the setup rather than the cable.

Does your computer recognize the green one?

Since you want GT1 and package from the link is not that expensive and many here have had success setting up and using that software, you may want to consider biting the bullet and purchase the whole package so you know you have what you need.

There are also smart phone apps that are very useful as more portable diagnostic and monitoring tools.

In retrospect, I should have purchased only the Rumanian package and the app for my iPhone/iPad. Other than a more involved set up procedure for the Rumanian software and a longer learning curve I would have all that I need for any scenario I can imagine.
