Hey guys, I need a new cable for my EMS so I can upload/download from my laptop. It is for an Evo 8 and since I know the old connectors were all serial port, is there a USB available yet? Any vendors on here sell them?

 

If you don't have a db9 serial port on your laptop you'll need a serial-usb converter and a DB9 serial cable. The Keyspan USB converter is supposed to be one of the best.

 

Yeah, no serial port, Ill pick up the converter off new egg then. But where do I get a cable? AEM doesnt list it nor do the vendors!

 

Best buy or your fav computer store

 

dynoflash also sells them
but +1 for best buy

 

Got it thanks guys!

 

Walmart

 

so its a "DB9 serial cable", or is it a "Null serial cable"???

Ive heard both!

 

got mines from radio shack....

 

got mine off ebay it works perfect and didn't cost much at all, just type in 9 pin to usb

 

you could also find a pcmcia to serial adapter as well.. depends how old your pc is..

 

PCMIA Serial card works best but if the Serial to USB adapter works for you then keep it

 

i picked up a serial to usb adapter today, loaded the driver but the aem program still says cannot connect to ECU? any suggestions!

 

you have to use the belkin one
there the only ones i had luck with & worked everytime

 

I've been using the keyspan usb to serial.. To date it has worked perfectly for every serial device I have connected to including the AEM and at least five other ems types.
