YOU WILL NEED TO INSERT EITHER 6.887 OR 6.952 MATE INTO YOUR BOX B4 YOU SCAN THEY WILL BE ON ONE OF THEM FREQ DEPENDING ON AREA

Look here regards cable/cables to use and comm port settings GUIDE: Cables Required for Flashing a Eurovox

[reddave]

I would recommend using a desktop with a serial port, unless you are happy to go into the settings of your laptop to change the com settings if using usb to serial cable. Are you using the correct cable?? It should be null modem cable RS232.

Like reddave says a null modem cable is what you need and a compatible computer
