i have a problem logging my ecu to the laptop. i have the laptop adaptor but it keeps telling me com port #1 and #2 are not available. anyone know why this is?

88t2romad

have you configured your ports to COM#1 or COM#2?

Cowzzz

i have the same problem...what do you mean configure????

88t2romad

to assign a port plug in the 9-pin -to- USB(or whatever you have)
adapter, then:
1: go to the start menu, right click on my computer, click properties.
2: go to "hardware" tab, click device manager button
3: click the drop down menu next to "ports", right click on it and hit properties
4:click port settings tab, go to advanced.
5:you should see a COM port drop down menu, change it to com port number 1.

Now when you open the microtech software, you can press "F1" to connect to the ECU.

hey guys do you have to use the laptop adapter dongle to use the laptop with the microtech? I have the handset and was wonderng if i could hook up the serial cable to the laptop and it would work? I haven't been able to try it because i dont have serial port on my laptop.

is laptop tunning that much better than the hand controller?

It's nice because you can see the whole graph for each map.
but I still want a handset also..

Would a desk-top computer be the same thing as a lap-top? Do you still need the lap top adapter or could you use the cable for the hand controller?

If you have that little understanding of computers, then you should not even try to tune the car yourself, with or without a PC!

You can use the cable for the hand controller without the adapter, you need the adapter to hook it up to a computer....bottom line.
