How do I get this connection to work? Picture - preacherboy24 - 08-19-2016
I was using the usb side and it doesnt work anymore.. Its broke. I want to use this side but I cant get it to work. Any ideas?

That is a serial port connection,9 pins? Mine is usb only. They have a slow data transfer rate and most newer laptops have phased them out.

Find your local chinaman shop and get them to fix the usb for a few bucks. in my city they do cell phone repair but can darn near do all electronics.

I used to use the Inline with Serial connections. it works, but is VERY VERY slow. Big risk in time-outs too, and not worth bricking someone's ECM.

It requires a USB to SERIAL adapter for most newer laptops -... or Wait!--- You said the USB is not working , Is it on the Laptop? or the Adapter USB?
If it is the Adapter USB,.. get another one -- It likely will have other failures to follow, and if it is on the Laptop,... well,.. you need USB either way!.
======
To make the Serial work on the Inline, You need a USB-to-SERIAL adapter, drivers for the adapter, and you need to re-assign all your engine software to use the COM port that you have assigned to the Serial adapter. You also need to set the serial adapter to com port 2 usually to prevent interference with other internal devices, such as your touchpad. Most touchpads are still PS2 driven, and usually take the the same IRQ as the old com 1 port did back in the day.

The actual plug where the cord plugs into the Inline box is bad on the female side. I wanted to somehow install a more hearty plug like the serial but work with usb. On the inline 6 at the shop there is a bigger female plug that looks more hearty and tough. Just wanted to check my options because if I have to repair this female side I want to plug in the cord and glue it in! I want my Inline back!

Now if I can find someone to solder it to my mother board. The inline 6 has this type of connection. I would like to just hardwire it in and have the cord coming out of the box. I am currently bidding on a nexiq on ebay......hope I win the bid.
