I wound up with some extra ECM connectors and thought I would see if there was interest in working USB to ECM cables? I was thinking probably around $40 to $45 each and I'm open to custom configurations for the USB end. Pretty much any of the FTDI adapters that Mouser or Digikey stock, would be nice to find a weather proof USB "B" chassis mounted connector for permanent install on the instrument cluster, but I haven't found one yet.

If there is interest, I have 3 extra ECM ends, no money due until I actually make your cable, or maybe 50% before ordering the FTDI device (haven't decided yet).

Paypal preferred. Please post interest in this thread so that we can get a tally on the number interested. If there is enough interest I can order more ECM connectors and make more than 3 cables. Thanks.

OK. I'll let things ride until the weekend is over and then make a parts order on Sunday night. I have one but I'm not happy with the FTDI module that I have, it was for another project and isn't ideal for this type of thing (but it works). If I find something that I really like I'll update this thread, otherwise it will be the plain old boring USB A cable that everyone uses.

Friday bump to check for interest before I order the FTDI cables on Sunday night.

Let me double check, I think a friend of mine scored a copy of the ECMspy program.
If so I'm in.

If you google for it, it can be found, but I wouldn't worry too much about trying to find it. I'll count you in.

That leaves one connector left.

That's all the connectors unless Vortec backs out, and I doubt he will.

I can keep a list and make orders every few weeks if there is interest, the connectors seem to be used on some MSD equipment, so they are not that hard to get anymore.

The connectors were never that hard to get:

I'm sure that my cable is working properly, but I'm putting this project on temporary hold until I am certain I can access all the data in my 03 XB9R. My intent was to check each cable before I sent them out, and I can't be certain that my first cable is working correctly right now, so it is on hold for the moment. Some things look like they are working fine, others not so well.

OK, with some help found that my problems were a user error and everything works, so I'll order cables tonight, but they probably won't ship until Tuesday (seems there is something called a holiday on Monday??? I have to work.).

Andy- yes, the X1 uses the same connector and ECMSpy that the XBs use.
