Ok, been doing a bit of research on this and with the lack of computer techie understanding, havew come up with conflicting info both on here and on the interweb.

Basically, I need the communication cable and USB adapter to connect the V3 megajolt to the laptop. Where is my best place to get it - not necessarily looking for cheap, just making sure it will work

cheers

Rob

Go for trigger wheels rob. Mine worked perfectly as expected, also they are there with almost instant tech support through email. They are a top company

i had 3 ebay ones that wouldnt work then i forked out £20 for the maplins one, the maplins one worked just fine
then so did 2 out of the 3 cheap ones,
most of the time the cheap stuff is ok but the drivers dont work, i just had the same issue with my nissan consult ( early obd style diagnostic port )

You can if you know what chipset is in the adapter is it just a usb to serial adapter?

If it is try an RS232 driver

Just a standard serial to usb cable.

I Can't understand why they don't do it with usb. No one uses serial any more, I haven't had a laptop with a serial port for over 10 years.
