This is not yet connected to my car, i am just going through the instrustion on how to get to know my megajolt. I have done a search though their is similar issues, i am still not sure. I have gone through the process and my screen which is the configurator V3.2.1 - no file loaded has no numbers and still says could not open port. i have bought a serial - usb cable. I have gone into device manager/serial ports which states prolific usb-serial com port (Com9). still says could not open port. Any suggestions gratefully recieved. thanks

Hi,
Your usb to serial is set to com9, so the MJ software needs to be set to com9 also.
It's probably set to com1 or 2 out of the box *wink*
I'm sure you need to use the same version of sofware as firmware in the MJ.
Cheers,
Gavin :)

In configurator V3.2.1 select tools then configuration options and try a few different values for the com port, mine changes depending which USB port I plug my adaptor into.

If you go to the device manager you can see what port it's chosen to assign it's self too. I created a short cut to the device manager on the desktop to make this easier (I can't remember how but I googled "device manager shortcut")
