OBDII conection help!!
Hey everyone,
I'm looking for some much needed help in connecting my laptop to my crossfire. I just purchased a;
ELM327 V1.5 OBD2 OBDII CAN-BUS Diagnostic Interface Scanner USB
I need a detailed tutorial on the steps to connect my crossfire and good software to use. I have head the Xentry software is good to use however I cannot source it from anywhere? I've tried using the software that was provided with the cable, however I cannot connect? I'm fairly proficient with computers so this has really got me stumped Any help would be greatly appreciated as I have had some issues occurring with my baby (no ignition, BAS/ESP light).
Chrysler Crossfire 2006
Help is greatly appreciated!

I actually just started messing with torque, which is an android app that connects to OBDII through bluetooth. I bought the pro version of the app so together everything cost me $30 and it works great!
Here's the adapter I found:
I haven't had any faults so I can't vouch for how well you can clear codes with the app on the xfire but I took care of my friend's truck and it took 30 seconds. Hope this helps a bit.

OP.. guessing it came with the usb driver.. you should at least be able to hook up to OBD.. turn on ignition..plug usb in.. and computer recognize new device installed.. otherwise I'd have to wonder about a bad cable...
Re: OBDII conection help!!
The cable is brand new, however the drivers that came with the cable are not ones that auto start and are registry files? I guess that's what you get from buying from China? Do you guys have any suggestions as to what kind of program to use? I cant find a legitimate source for the Xentry software?
If anyone HAS CONNECTED VIA A USB CABLE and can take the time to write me a tutorial that would be greatly apprecited.

Re: OBDII conection help!!
Brand new from China you say? $100 dollar cables for flash tune by Eurocharged (Brand new from China) were bad for several users recently. Just saying...
Let's clarify.. does it say "new device found.. looking for drivers" if not .. you aren't connecting..
