ecmlink evo 1-3

[CYBORG-X]

hey guys
i got an ecm link,but it fails to connect to my laptop.
now i can normally get all programable ecus to link up (haltech, link, adapt, emanage, ect) but this ecm link is just giving me static.
would anybody who runs one in their car be able to share any words of wisdom, or better try using their laptop and lead on my ecu to try get it to connect, i would be willing to travel to you, even bearing refreshing beverages =)
i live in smithfield nsw, so hopefully somebody is near by...
many thanks, josh

At risk of sounding daft, you do have the ignition turned to 'on', don't you? The program won't communicate at all if the ECU is powered down.

Failing that, have you tried assigning a different COM port on the computer?

Josh, what looms are you running?

if your car is a series two CC gsr then your diagnostic plug needs to be rewired
