This adapter won't connect to my ECU any ideas? 2002 nissan altima everything else connects fine.

I had some issues with the first time connection as well. I am assuming that all lights on the adaptor come on normally. If not the unit itself may be defective. If the lights are good plug in the transmitter and while the car was running and the transmitter on do a full restart of your phone. On restart turn on bluetooth, attempt pair, and then start the app. After the first connection I did not have any problem reconnecting. This is the only one that worked for me, I had others that I had to return because they wouldn't pair so good luck!

I'm using this reader in a 2002 NISSAN ALTIMA compliance with OBDII and is working great with app TORQUE. For the truck you are describing please make sure is OBDII compliance and also you have to download the app.

This could be a security or safety feature of the car itself. If the adapter works fine after you start the car then I don't see a reason why you should return it. In any case it is your call.

I connected using 4.1 and the Torque app. Worked great. Never any issues as far as connection. Only time I had to repair was when I unplugged from the dash. The only issue I ever had was when I parked the car for a week and a half and accidentally left the adapter plugged in. I'm pretty sure it drained the battery. It wasnt a lot but after a week and a half it added up.

Actually, i got it confused with Tune ECU !!!! I have that too but Dealer Tool came with it's own jumper. I have both.Dealer tool is better because it works to bleed the abs system and tune ecu doesn't. Looking at the write up it says it doesn't work on all models, I'd suggest you contact the maker. I prefer Dealer tool over tune ecu.

You need to connect a Serial cable to your computer. I have a Serial/USB adapter which works although you don't need it because if you check the web site there are currently no updates for it. The thing works with OBDII to present and CAN. Does that help? The most current software versions are 40EEH and 361AH

I had the same issue with my first set of adapters. You need to pick up di electric grease from the auto parts store, you only need a small amount and place it on all connections on both ends of the adapter as well as on the bulb connections. This should take care of it and give you a better contact and should solve the problem. Good luck

Return it would be my best suggestion, get your money back now while you still can. According to the user manual the closest issue that it covers to the one you are describing is: 2. What to do if it can't start up? Answer: Please check whether you have installed the OBD II connector correctly, and whether you have turned on the power supply. So try it on another OBDII car if you can and verify it is not something wrong with your vehicle, then return it when you are certain it is a piece of junk.

I can't find the connection either. Checked the schematic and I did not see any socket. So I have an adapter collecting dust!

I really don't know if it's any help to you, but I've got a radio panel, auto pilot panel, switch panel, & a throttle control, all plugged into a 7 usb holder, I do have a spare 7 usb holder, if I need it, the altimeter panel goes straight to my PC.Hope this might be of some help to you.Chas

I bought my adaptor a few years ago and it came with a CD. Since then I have updated drivers from the web.malcolmm

It should work since your car was manufactured street 1995 (most cars since then use OBD II). You need the right software/app though--this is only the adapter to communicate with the car's computer

Hey John, it uses the same BMW cable, connection wise it should hook up but not sure if there could be a software comparability issue.

You need to order a 'wire harness' for your specific car. That has the adapter
