Hi Doblmutijet,
Your second question first. Before you go anywhere near the van with the
multiecuscan,
you have to set the settings of
multiecuscan to your cable/interface.
Open your
multiecuscan program.
Click Settings ( lower left hand corner).
On Settings window. Open Interfaces.
On Interface window, enter the type of interface cable you have in Interface Type 1.
When you have this done. Next, press scan for interfaces (located at bottom right hand corner)
(Some say you should be connected to the car at this stage, but I never did, and still worked out)
It will start to scan for the interface info you entered early. A result should reveal the COM
number to use.Lets say the scan said com9. Then go back to your port numbers via device
manager as explained earlier, and enter com9 in the drop down window. Now your connection
is set. Now you go to your van, and connect up, open up
multiecuscan, go to settings, go to
interfaces, and click TEST ( beside the interface details you entered earlier). This should confirm
the connection has been astablished.
Your third question. Once you purchased your interface I'm assuming you ran the CD
on your pc. This will download all necessary drivers and all the info that comes with it
to operate the interface on your pc. Once you plug the cable in, it should be ready for use,
and this will be confirmed if you open up via device manager and see Port (com &lpt) as
explained earlier.
Your First question is answered if you process with the second and third solutions.
