For the USB version, select “Serial (RS232 or Virtual COM Port Driver)” as the interface type and leave the port in autodetect mode. This allows the software to automatically identify the correct communication port for your ELM327 device.
If you’re unsure about your vehicle’s ECU communication protocol, setting it to automatic is recommended. However, specifying the protocol, if known, optimizes communication. You can find this information in the compatible vehicles database. Knowing the specific protocol ensures accurate data retrieval and interpretation.
