If unable to connect still, send the following below to support@obd2australia.com.au in order for us to diagnose the problem:

1. A screenshot of the FORSCAN Log or the Log file itself.
2. A screenshot of Connection Settings of FORSCAN.
3. A screenshot of your Device Manager, with COM Ports and or Other Devices Expanded.

Note that this device requires the set-up to be executed correctly in order for it to work. Just because the set-up was done incorrectly, causing the device not to work, does not immediately mean it’s faulty.
