Pig Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Anyone know how to get it working with a USB to serial connection? I can get it to connect. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 First find out what COM port the usb-> serial convertor is using (device manager will tell you this), then in the AEM software there will be some kind of setup / connection menu (I've not used AEM software so don't know where exactly) where you can choose the COM port to use when communicating with the ECU, usually a drop down box. Hope this helps! Cheers, Brian. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 USB to serial converter? Is so it will be mapped to com5 or something simular rather than com1 or 2. It will be listed in device manager exactly what it is mapped to. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Do i need to install the USB - it picks it up but i cant find an AEMUSB.DLL file anywhere. Not options for ports as the computer has no serial connection Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MaveriK Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 The USB to Serial device should have come with a CD, if not you have the make and model so get the drivers off the net. Once thats installed correctly the device will be listed under ports in device manager. Then tackle the connection to the AEM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Prolific USB is one of the more common ones - try this driver attached.USB_serial_WinXP.zip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tDR Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Actually if the driver name is AEMUSB.dll it sounds like it's AEM supplied so check their website for a driver. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tDR Posted July 19, 2007 Share Posted July 19, 2007 Try the driver I posted then try AEM website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pig Posted July 19, 2007 Author Share Posted July 19, 2007 Try the driver I posted then try AEM website. Tried that but seems to just be an uninstaller. Also looked on the website but couldnt seem to find anything. App. the installer need to match the USB to serial perfectly for it to work. Think i may be low on luck No supra for me at JAE :( Thanks for your quick response though guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is this viable? I had no problem with this and couldnt get an immediate connection to the ecu Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
