Hi, i've just managed to get my laptop working and the "Consult Diagnostic OBD USB Interface 14 Pins Scanner Tool For Nissan" arrived today, Took a while but got there in the end, however the tool in the device manager has no drivers installed, has anyone got any idea where i can download them, the cd that came with it just had the free version of conzult on it..

Do i need the drivers for the tool to work, any help would be gratefully received.

 

Thanks

Connect to the internet while you have the consult interface plugged in, it should find new hardware and download a driver from the net.

 

Or unplug interface first, connect to the net, then plug in again

Graham, thanks, that worked, once it was sorted i took it out to the car and plugged it in, com 3 seemed to be the best, but i just couldn't get it to work as i thought it would, picture shows the screen . am i right in thinking that the "Disconnected" should read "connected" the black dot should be green and the comm port should be shown. Any ideas on how to give it a kick start?

When everything is connected and you click to connect, do you get any error notification?

Also, when all connected, dose the device port show up in device manager?

Is the port showing any errors?

Thereby lies the problem. the connect button is greyed out at all times.

You need to make sure that the com port on the software matches the device manager, normally your pc does this automatically, i would imagine com port 3 is already in use on your laptop, normally com1 or higher up the range say 10-15 may be available.

Go to your device manager in windows and see what com ports are free and try to change it on the consult.

Yeah!! got it working, think the key is making sure everyone is reading off the same page, ie using the same com port. Read somewhere that the programs dont like above 9 ports, so used 3 (old modem) It was probably a combination off all tweaks.

 

Big thanks to all, Sometimes raising a thread is a good sounding board,

Glad you got it sorted.

Can I borrow it?:lol:

Redwine, Sure. come on down and i'll hook you up. In fact that makes me think of another thread.
