When using PCMTec with a direct cable connection to a car you require a specific OBD Cable.
What cable/hardware do I need to connect PCMTec to the vehicle?
You require an OBD2 J2534 Cable.
Not all J2534 cables are the same and for Falcon and Copperhead PCM's you require a cable that supports FEPS on Pin 13.
We have tested, support and recommend the following J2534 Cables:
- Tactrix OpenPort
- Drewtech Mongoose (JLR and Ford only)
We do not support the use of eBay or Aliexpress clones
Other J2534 cables may work, but PCMTec cannot provide technical support for these
Where can I buy an appropriate cable for PCMTec?
There are many great retailers of our supported cables. Be sure to use reputable retailers to ensure genuine hardware.
