    There seems to be an issue with this quite often. Several things could be the issue. One is installing the cable as per instructions with drivers. I recently got a regular cable from ALDL cables .com for my son's laptop but decided to check it on my laptop I already have set up to use with the Moates AutoProm.

    I followed directions, installed drivers, installed cable and had connection to TunerPro first shot.

    Another issue is TunerPro has a few options for connecting to cable. Go to Tools, Preferences and tab on right says Data Aqc Emulation. In there for a regular cable you need to select Use Plug in. Other option is AutoProm. Apply and close TunerPro.

    Plug your cable in if you have already followed direction for the install. Should hear a sound it has been found if this option is set on your PC and volume is up. Windows 7 (others are similar) Go to start, Devices and printers and you should see the cable, mine says FTR232R USB Usart and click on it, then hardware and it will show which COM port mine says COM 8. Leave cable plugged in and open TunerPro. Go to Tools, Preferences and tab on right says Data Aqc Emulation Use plug in should show, click on Configure Plug in and it should say Standard Serial and the same COM that you found earlier, if not find it and change it. Then Test for Valid Interface used Setting and should pass. If so plug into your ALDL port and start your car and click connect in TunerPro

    Might want to try installing Tuner Pro V4 (you can install TP RT V4, without disturbing V5, by giving V4 it's own install folder, I usually just add "V4" to the folder name), since it seems to have an easier time connecting to the 160 baud ECMs. This way you can make sure everything is good on the hardware side.
    The man who says something is impossible, is usually interrupted by the man doing it.

    Thanks a lot guys. I got my hardware to work. It took a little while to figure it out. I had to uninstall winaldl. What I am trying to do is log data and use the excel spread sheet to tune my VE tables. I can log data with th 42.ads file converted to a adx file. My temp starts with a high number and when it warms up the temp number gets lower. So I changed the adx file to AO33.ads and my temperature reads normal but I can not find the histogram log to put in the spread sheet. Do I need a different adx file?

    I too am having problems connecting to Tuner pro. I get to this point and it doesn't find anything. Also says tested a 8912(I think those are the numbers)Baud. What do I need to do to get it to try at 160 Baud?

    Next step would obviously be to try what Six_Shooter said or try uninstalling winaldl like ninerscout.

    Don't worry about what it says when failed. Load up your ADX file and read below.

    I never could get TunerPro RT V5 to work on 2 laptops with WinALDL until I removed WinALDL. But other people have...

    I use my AutoProm, regular cable and TunerPro quite often on different vehicles, burning chips and my test bench and still sometimes have issues? First your cable needs to be installed properly with drivers, then TunerPro needs to have preferences set correctly under Tools, Preferences and Data Acq. Then plug your cable in and look in devices for it and open it to see what Com port it is on.

    Leave cable plugged into laptop and restart, open TunerPro and see if it then finds the cable, do this without cable hooked to car. If it does not find it, close TunerPro and move cable to another USB port, open TunerPro and check for cable. Rinse and repeat till you have tried all USB ports.

    My USB slot is set to Com 8 for my cable and Com 3 for my AutoProm. But move around to different USB slots on my laptop of which there are 4 but I can always now find them on 2 of the 4 USB slots. What I have said above is all I ever have to do now to make either work at worst case scenario.

    It is frustrating sometimes. But this technology was designed for Serial ports which are no longer available on newer laptops. Somewhere in the serial to USB to hardware conversion there is an issue.
