VS Commodore 'S' pack.
I was looking at getting a ALDL cable when a mate into electronics said build one and got me some parts. I did what he said but I'm not getting it working and old mate is away working for a few weeks.

He got me the following chip which is also available on ebay:

New 5V/3.3V FT232RL FTDI USB to TTL Serial Converter Adapter Module for Arduino.

Said join the RXD/TXD together to go to pin 9 of the aldl interface.
Then said connect the GND to pin 5 to the aldl interface.

I've go the chip set up correctly on my laptop, drivers all good, COM port all good. Efilive v4 not speaking with car.


Is there anything I'm not doing right?


Thanks in advance guys.
