TVR to laptop

[DanTVR]

Hi all,

I wonder if anyone can help me, I've tried searching but haven't found anything and I need to find what cable is required to connect a laptop to my cerbie to check all the sensors. It has no faults or anything but just want to make sure

If anyone could provide me with a link that would be great as I'm not very good with computers and technical things so if you say "you need a X27-44436DG5 lead" it wont really mean alot. Its worth mentioning I wont be the one touching it, leaving that to a computer literate friend, I just thought I had better get the connection lead to save him buying it.

Thanks in advance to the kind folk of pistonheads

Depending on wether you have a ECU with serail or three pin conetion you need a lead and this is the three pin one HERE
The software can be downloaded from HERE

Hope this helps.

If your laptop only has a USB connection, you can still use a R232-to-USB cable - just need to configure the appropriate usb port to com 1 and then do a google search for the PL -2303 usb to serial driver by Prolific technology Inc and install that.

Surely that driver will only work with one type of USB device, not all usb serial devices.

Cheers for your help guys. Im sure my computer friend can get the lead working. Didn't know there was different types of ecu connector. Will have to see what mine is. Thanks again!
