Don't even attempt to plug it in to the vehicle until you get a "Found and functioning" result. You're just wasting time doing so.
You might want to try setting the com port to a lower com port. I know V4 had an issue if the com port was above COM9 for a while. I haven't experienced this issue with V5, but you never know. Yes, I know 7 is less than 9, but I find that a lower number com port seems to connect easier, not sure why, it just seems to.
There might also be something else (program) that uses that same com port and it may not be letting go of it completely, so assigning a different com port will also get around that.
