OBDII Laptop Software?

[Castle]

Hey guys, I bought a cable which is OBDII on one end and 9 Pin serial on the other. I have attempted to connect to my truck's EMC with no luck. The serial port on the laptop does work and in fact I've tried three different laptops. Any ideas?

Make sure you have the driver for the cable installed, although, if your hooking it up via an actual serial port you should be fine.

x2 me too, with extended data; paid for itself with the ABS sensors.
