I know this has been asked a million times. But i need the instructions to make my own ECM spy cable. I have looked and looked and cant find it anywhere. Anyone know how to do this? sorry for making a new post on this, but i just have looked for half an hour and cant find it anywhere? | ||

Another option is to see if someone will sell you one... | ||

http://www.mouser.com/search/ProductDetail.aspx?qs =sGAEpiMZZMtf8aSAtgR7DtM6b7hTwLVv Get one of these... http://www.deutschconnector.com/products/deutsch_d t_4-way_connectors.html Then one of these...second plug down. Pin 1...Orange Pin 2...Black Pin 3...Yellow I soldered mine, but you can easily use a pair of needle nose to crimp the ends. | ||

Just buy one pre-made & tested and save the hassle: http://www.xoptiinside.com/buell_store | ||

That's the easy way out. If you got any brains you can build it for almost half the cost. $23 and change to build mine. I've seen them got for almost $50 on Egay.... | ||

Yea, I dont mind trying to build my own. I'd like to save as much money as i can. | ||

It truly is very easy. Just strip the cable back a bit so the stranded end will slide into the pin and make connectivity. Like I said above, you can use a pair of needle nose and be fine. | ||

ok, do i have to use a TTy serial cable? or should any USB wire with send and recieve capabilities work? If i need the TTy cable, does anyone know where i might be able to purchase this without having to go online? i checked radioshack and best buy and neither had ever even heard of the type wire? | ||

The USB cable is not a normal off the shelf cable, there is a chip in the connector to convert it to a RS232 Serial connection. | ||

so if i go to radiosahck and just buy a usb to rs232 wire that should work right, then just cut off the end and mount the new connector to it? they couldnt find a tty serial cable but as soon as i said rs 232 they al knew what i was talking about. but i dont want to spend 35 dollars and it not workl | ||

I never ask a Radioshack employee anything. I've had to go buy something when we've been in a tight spot for work all over the U.S....90% of them don't know jack. It may take a couple days, but Mouser is a very good company. I deal with them at work when I need a special cable. I personally recommend to go with them. I doubt you'll find the deustch connector at a local store. Order the two on the same day and they should be received the same time. |
