Mac with Bootcamp/Windows 10: USB connection to ECU failing


MartinS

Recommended Posts

My Windows laptop just crapped out.  Have installed Windows 10 on my MacBook using bootcamp.  Successful install, successful download of PC Link software, able to open file with latest tune, PC Link appears to work correctly, cannot connect to ECU.  Gives 'check com settings' or similar message.

Anyone have any experience getting this to work?  Not really finding anything that helps online....

Do the USB ports work if you plug in a mouse or something similar?  Assuming they do, with the ecu USB cable plugged in, go to windows device manager and check if there is a Link Electro Systems or similar in the com ports section.

Might have just solved it: one person posted on a help forum about USB device issues with Bootcamp that not all of the 4 USB-C ports can be used to emulate USB-A.  Not sure if his rationale is correct but on my my MacBook Pro 13", the 2 on the right side don't work, the 2 on the left do.  

So, actually working very nicely now.  Left the com port settings on 'auto'
