Fired up the elm today and now have BT streaming! Cheers brendan

Did have to debond and rebond phone to get it working afterwards though if anyone has trouble getting it to work.

I don't get what you are enabling with the BT streaming... Mine has always streamed music from my phone to the head unit via blue tooth..

Or am I missing something here...?

Having problems getting the drivers working. Its windows 8 and the software installed no problem but when I connect it up there is nothing to select in the port option therefore I cannot get it to open.

I have downloaded numerous drivers but nothing seems to work.

Try running it with Admin rights.

The laptop has called it "Prolific USB to Serial Comm Port" and that the best drivers are installed and when I tried to direct it to any other folder it says drivers are up to date.

When i go into it through device manager it says Error Code 10?

I initially struggled to get my ELM327 cable recognised, but eventually used these cable drivers - and it works for me on both Win XP and Win 7.

Worth a try maybe?

Still not working on mine. How did you install it on windows 7 and what does it call it?

Cheers

Just to explain, I run it using a 'Virtual PC' on a Macbook Air (this won't make a difference to the drivers or the setup procedure). I discarded the Windows 7 version, because it runs happily on XP and it takes up less space.

So...first I checked to see what it reports the hardware (ELM cable) as on XP - in Device Manager under Ports (COM & LPT) it says: Silicon Labs CP201x USB to UART Bridge (COM3)

Then I started up a Windows 7 Virtual PC - the cable has not been plugged into it before.

I installed the cable drivers (BEFORE plugging the cable in).

Then I plugged the cable in and got the usual 'installing device drivers' message in the system tray (lower right corner) - and then an 'installed successfully' message.

A quick check in Device Manager reveals exactly the same as it did for XP - like this:

Next I installed the Runtime.exe to load all of the DLLs.

Then I ran the ELMConfig.exe and got this:

Switch it to English, press Offline to try it out - and Bob's your uncle. It works. After that you have to do the programming thing with Putty (assuming that's still applicable - I did it and got on fine) and then it will work with your car.

If you've got any related entries in Device Manager under Ports, I'd try deleting them, installing the cable drivers and then plug in the cable as detailed above.

Just for the record, I modded my cable with the small toggle switch - and had to cut out the plastic screw 'tower' (by melting it with a hot cutter). Otherwise the lid won't fit back on.

But it does end up looking quite slick:
