U7135 can't connect to win7 with USB serial cable

[unpredictable1]

I have the baud rate set on both ends to 115200, I used the driver from the downloads section, and the DSDownloader cycles back and forth between COM1 and COM3 looking for the tool. (It's on COM3)

It's a gigaware usb-serial cable, I have no errors in device manager either.

I used PL2303_Prolific_GPS_AllInOne_1013.exe for the driver.

I need to update the CALID on the Predator because in my 2005 300C, I get the "this vehicle needs an update" message.

Thanks!

what does the device manager show for that device?

Here is a screen cap, I'm going to try another cable

Another cable I have looks like this in the attached. Does the 7135 device itself have to be on a certain screen or anything?

you need to double click on them to see what the status is.

I will once I get home from work - never had much time at lunch today.

If memory serves me correct, when I went into properties it said it was functioning correctly. By the time I'm home you folks will probably be gone for the day, I'll update this thread though.

Cheers

Here it is with the second cable I tried, the first one says the same thing.

So one thing I didn't do is try the second cable I got a loan of, back onto my original Windows 10 machine. Did that, DS Downloader saw it right away and I was able to calibrate the tool and tune my car.

Thanks.

odd, must have been some bad cables.
