Laptop lead

[LazyRoss18]

Can anyone link me up to the correct lead so I can plug my laptop into my 3R to adjust the adaptive settings?

if your laptop has as comms port you just need a comms lead! if not get a usb to comms lead!

Pretty sure it's not that simple. I think there is something non standard about the correct lead in terms of voltage protection/management.

Thanks is it a 9 pin??

The correct lead needs a couple of resistors fitted to protect the ECU.



Some people have been able to get away with using a standard 9 pin serial cable but I didn't want to risk it so made one up from the above schematic which you can find on this link:

Think you can also buy ready made cables from SBD but its an easy and cheap job to make one up.

Cheers,
David.

I've got an SBD one with the USB to serial adapter that works fine, you can have it for £20!

If the OP doesn't want it then I'll have it.

Weird. I emailed you through your profile.

Zoobeef - it's yours if he changes his mind

Also, while I'm peddling my wares... I have a CTEK battery conditioner left over from the Nob days. Has the cigarette lighter adapter so you can charge it that way, or via the battery leads. £40 if anyone is interested! As new.
