Alex L. Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Before I download one, which serial-to-USB drivers do you all recommend? I'm trying to connect to an AEM box with a serial-to-USB connector and my computer doesn't have a COM port listed. I believe I need to install a driver to do so. I've heard good things about the Prolific driver, but I can't get on their site to download it. Any other recommendations? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Did drivers not come with the USB to Serial Converter you have? KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 I didn't buy the converter, it came with the car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KillJoy Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 Well, go to the Website of who ever made the Converter, and download the Drivers. :thumbup: KillJoy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex L. Posted March 7, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 If there was a logo on the converter, I would have already. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gillbot Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 If there was a logo on the converter, I would have already. Plug it in and see what it says? Might even download automatically through windows update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rally Pat Posted March 7, 2011 Report Share Posted March 7, 2011 If you are using Windows 7, it has this thing where it will not always take its time and look for the drive for it online. You usually have to tell it to search windows update. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
