I got the FTDI cable, so once I get my bike back I'll give it another shot.  When I was trying it before my boo-boo I was using a cable from best-buy.  I didn't know if ECMspy was specifically written for the FTDI cable.


I was originally going to try a bestbuy cable as well since I have a brand new serial to usb cable sitting at home, but remembered how picky my Autronic was on getting the right voltages and figured the FTDI would be best.  Substitutions may work, just not work correctly.....

You can't use generic Best Buy USB cables for the ECMSPY laptop software.  The FTDI cable is required to convert the ECM RS232 voltages to TTL that the USB port requires.  Palm devices like the TX already have TTL interfaces, so all you need to do is get a Palm TX serial cable from eBay, hack off the USB connector and wire up the Deutsch connector.  The Palm is useful for on-the-road datalogging, keeping you from having to lug a laptop around.

Tork;
I should have been clearer.  It wasn't a generic serial cable, it was a best-buy USB to Serial cable.
