when I got the software and tatrix cable I could connect to my Evo 8 no problem,
tried to connect to an EVO 7 this evening to read a fault code and kept getting FTDI error,
even tried to download the Rom from the ECU with Ecuflash and it would not connect,
I even tried to uninstall the drivers and downloaded the Versiuon 2 drivers still no luck,
When I go into my device manager the Laptop calls the open port cable Com 11 as this is a virtual port is this correct ???
its as if the software cannot see the cable????
anybody got any suggestions????

I changed mine to com port 3 and selected it in the scantech program to read the fault codes. EvoScan can do Evo4 fault codes.

ok I have changed the com port to 2 will Ecuflash automatically detect the cable even though I've changed the com port number????
when using scantech you select the jeff protocol converter is this correct???

yeah thats it you got it. and EcuFlash and EvoScan use a direct FTDI driver, so the virtual com port you can set to whatever you like because they have no effect on these programs.
