Cannot Assign Port to Interface
Cannot Assign Port to Interface
Hi, just got the interfaces from iDiagnostics and followed the installation instructions (have a Dell laptop) downloaded the driver for the interface and installed it but there was no Port assigned to it and when I go into properties for the interface there is no option to assign a port. Consequently when I try to connect to my ECU (I have an Alfa 147 GTA) I get an error saying "Port 1 doesnt exist" How can I assign a port to the interface please? Thanks for any help
Re: Cannot Assign Port to Interface
Probably should add that I'm using windows 8 
Should I upgrade to 10, will that help?

No one? Is this forum still alive?

The only thing I can think of is that you have not downloaded correctly the driver *files*. The driver package should have a .INF *and* a .CAT file.
If you are using Windows 8 and above then you MUST have BOTH files as Windows 8 does not allow the use of unsigned drivers and the .cat is the driver's security catalog file!

Re: Cannot Assign Port to Interface
You supplier I-Diagnostics should have supplied the drivers. MES is software only.
If your interface is an ELM unit then you need the FTDI Chip Drivers. www.ftdichip.com

Re: Cannot Assign Port to Interface
Hi, thanks for the reply and sorry for the extremely delayed response as I have been overseas away from my car for a long time. I already had the ELM drivers installed as per the instructions that came with my cables. On the FTDI site there are 3 kinds of drivers, VCP, D2XX and D3XX. Which one do I need to install? It seems to be some kind of virtual com port driver. Thanks
Re: Cannot Assign Port to Interface
Use the VCP (Virtual COM Port) Driver. That will work.
