Steps to make the software and adapter work
Step 1 – Plug in your SUBARU OBDII cable, let your computer find the drivers automatically.
If not the cables usually come with a CD with the drivers, use this.

On the drop down: Serial Port
Select which COM port your adapter is on

On your keyboard hold the windows button and push Pause/Break
Click Device Manager
Select Ports (COM & LPT)
Your adapter should be listed here
Right click the adapter, select Properties
Under Port Settings, Advanced you can see which port it is on, you can change this to another # if you want.
This path may be different depending on which OS you use.

Step 3 – Plug into the OBD II connector with the key on and “Test Diagnostic Interface” under Preferences.
If it all checks out you are good to go.
