GOOD BUSINESS! for computer cable adapter

Great product! ) Condition of this product I was skeptical at first. There is so much information about him on the web that it makes one scratch one's head. I use this cable to connect my Diablosport "Predator" which is a portable auto tuner that connects to your OBD II port and your PC. You can do many things with this device, such as: B. Tuning, programming and data logging as well as updating the instrument via the Internet. With no way to connect the instrument to a computer, it's nothing more than a plastic paperweight. While it worked great for years with Windows XP and the old Prolific chipset, it is now obsolete and will NOT interact with PCs anymore. I was VERY frustrated and couldn't find any information about my specific issue after searching the internet and many forums for Diablosport Predator and the issues I was having. Support specialists even made mistakes on some issues. If you're having the same issues and getting a USB Code 10 error with that dreaded yellow triangle, or if you see a yellow triangle/exclamation point in Device Manager that says "Prolific USB-to-Serial Cable Comm Port (com6)" see. , You probably have a counterfeit cable, return it and buy Plugable Plugable Technologies makes a genuine Prolific-backed product that works!

Pros
  • USB TO RS232 SERIAL - connects legacy DB-9 serial devices to a modern computer with USB
Cons
  • Great price
