| Some folks were interested a while back (maybe a month?) and I hadn't tried out the cable I got off ebay. It is USB.  I connected it to my laptop (windows auto installed the drivers necessary, but the ebay seller did send me a mini cd) and launched ECUTalk.  I had to switch to a few different COM channels before it was found.  I am happy to report that it worked like a charm.  I will be donating $ to ECUTalk's developer. ebay link (for some reason it is showing Canada...shrug)
