Steps to make the software and adapter work
Step 1 – Plug in your SUBARU OBD2 Cable, let your computer find the drivers automatically.

If not the cables usually come with a CD with the drivers, use this.

If not do some searching on the internet.

It really depends on which cable you get.

Ps. The OBDII cable from uobd2 required no setup, plugged in, found, done. Works on Windows XP, Vista and 7 OS.

Step 2 – Install the software

On the drop down: Serial Port

Select which COM port your adapter is on

If you have no idea with I am talking about:

On your keyboard hold the windows button and push Pause/Break

Click Device Manager

Select Ports (COM & LPT)

Your adapter should be listed here

Right click the adapter, select Properties

Under Port Settings, Advanced you can see which port it is on, you can change this to another # if you want.

This path may be different depending on which OS you use.

Step 3 – Plug into the OBD II connector with the key on and “Test Diagnostic Interface” under Preferences.

If it all checks out you are good to go.
