Driver Cable Usb Paralelo Win7

There are a number of Prolific Serial drivers and these have been listed below. There is also an explanation here (USB to RS232 Driver) which also uses a Prolific USB driver. If the Prolific USB to serial drivers below do not work then see the USB to RS232 driver for more information as it uses more than one option.

There is also an installation diagram ( FT232R USB UART Driver) which shows how to install and remove USB drivers on your computer. Note that we have updated the Prolific driver for the Prolific USB to serial driver which you now download below for Windows XP/7/8/10 listed below.

If you get an error that the Prolific USB to Serial Adapter is not working then you will need to uninstall the driver on your computer and remove the Prolific USB to Serial adpater from your computer. Report and connect the Prolific adapter again and then wait until it looks for the Prolific USB to Serial driver. Direct the software to where you extracted the driver to and install the Prolific driver from there.

Advanced Settings on the Prolific USB to Serial driver

You can change the port settings on the Prolific USB to Serial Adapter settings as shown below. You will need to click on the port options on the top of the menu and then click on the advanced options which holds the advanced port options on the Prolific adapter as shown below.

Note what each of these advanced port settings does as shown below:

  • USB Selective Suspend Idle Timer

This is the Idle Timer for the PL2303 chip to enter suspend mode and the default for this is 10 seconds. You can change this on the Prolific USB to serial adapter. Check your chip as this does not work on the PL2303SA chip. Also note that for the PL2303HXD/EA/RA, you need to write to OTPROM first.

  • Disable DTR/RTS INIT signal

By default this is enabled. This will disable the DTR/RTS pin initialisation signal during driver load to disable the serial mouse or modem from being detected. Check this setting if your Prolific USB driver is not detecting your serial modem or serial mouse. The Prolific USB to Serial Adapter normally has this enabled as stated before, however for troubleshooting it is always best to check the advanced settings.

  • Change DTR/RTS INIT Level Shift

The signal needs to be enabled as the default for this setting is TTL=HIGH as well as RS232=LOW.

  • Disable Device USB Serial Number in Windows Registry

This is very important if you have many devices. The default for this settings is enabled. If you check this it will ignore PL2303 device Serial Numbers. If you disabled this then each PL2303 device even with different USB serial numbers will be treated as same device. This is more for troubleshooting your serial devices.

  • Driver Buffer Size

This will set the buffer size of the serial device. The default settings for this is 4096.

(You can now CONNECT your ELM327 USB cable to any port on the laptop.)

Ok, we're almost ready to start scanning your vehicle.

First, let's ensure that everything is working fine!

Here's how..

Windows Vista/7/8/10: Control Panel » System » Device Manager

Windows XP: Control Panel » System » 'Hardware' tab » Device Manager

Step 2: Expand 'Other Devices' and 'Ports (COM & LPT)'

Notice any device with any one of the following names:

  1. FT232R USB UART
  2. Prolific USB-to-Serial..
  3. USB Serial Port
  4. USB2.0-Serial
  5. Silicon Labs CP210x USB to UART Bridge

NONE of above devices should have a yellow mark () next to them.

If none of the above has a yellow mark, then congratulations! You're ready to begin scanning your car(s). Click here on how to connect to your car in the next 5 minutes..

If any one of above devices has a yellow mark, then:

  1. Right-click on that device » Uninstall
  2. Unplug cable
  3. Restart PC
  4. Download and unextract DRIVER PACK 6
  5. Double-click on 'InstallUSB' to install
  6. Connect cable to laptop. Yellow mark should now be gone. Success!
    If yellow mark is STILL not gone after doing 1-6 above, then do this:

Troubleshooting: Solutions for ELM327 Connection Issues..

Common Solutions:

If you're unable to connect successfully to your car, then that's because of 2 reasons:

  1. Your vehicle is notOBD2 compatible. (This is reason in 99% of cases, which means you can only scan it at mechanic using their $2000 OBD1 scanners.)
  2. Random issues that can be fixed with below solutions..

Here are solutions in recommended order:

  1. First check that ELM327 is physically working (not defunct). When you plug in the cable into a USB port, all the lights on ELM327 interface/device should flash. And then it'll return to 1 red light (power).
    Condition of a defunct ELM327 interface: All lights will not initially flash, and only red light will be on.
  2. Restart computer (while keeping cable connected to laptop). Try again.
  3. Plug USB into different physical port of your computer. Try again.
  4. If all above solutions fail, then we will help you (only if you are Total Car Diagnostics customer). Here's all you need to do..

    Connect ELM327 USB cable into laptop. (Don't need to plug the other end to car)

    Step 1: Go to Control Panel.

    Windows Vista/7/8/10: Control Panel » System » Device Manager
    Windows XP: Control Panel » System » 'Hardware' tab » Device Manager

    Step 2: Expand 'Ports (COM & LPT)' and 'Other Devices'.

    Step 3: Take picture of the screen (Press 'Print Screen' key on the keyboard then paste into any graphics program. Or take shot with camera/phone.)

    Step 4:Contact us and attach the picture.
