Has happened to me a lot. I just change ports and sometimes reboot to get it to connect. Just my experiences. I have two laptops so they may have got confused on ports.
 
Have you looked on Ecm's wiki page? I haven't but it has to be a normal problem. I have had it happen and then just play around and suddenly it will connect to a port. It particularly does NOT like me using the same port that I program the SmartShift 100.1 TCU for some reason.

Yes I looked for answers
And wasn’t able to resolve anything.
I tried by playing around in the port settings .
 
I assume you have tried updating the usb-to-serial driver via device manager? Sorry to hear that its fighting you. Just use a raspberry pi and touchscreen....

In the device manager I wasn’t able to replicate what ecm wiki suggest I should do to the COM ports.


Side note how did you accomplish your set up I have been wanting something similar for ages but finding a windows based tablet that fits in our din slot has been a pain.

I’m very unfamiliar with the raspberry hardware and I assume you use a android based tablet in junction ?
 
Also interested but not wanting to sidetrack.
 
Please pm questions, happy to help...

No tablet. 8" lcd, 5 finger touch driven by rpi 3b+ on OpenAuto Pro (Android Auto emulation like the fancy new 2019 cars). Includes 50Wx4 hi-fi amp, rotary encoder for volume/play/pause knob in place of cig lighter and "special functions" for the (unused) cruise control switches on the steering wheel. Also has google voice assistant using an Andrea Electronics noise cancelling microphone array for android functions such as gmaps, spotify, ytmusic etc.

Sorry for the long post, I am fairly proud of this setup. Please also forgive me, OP, for going off topic. I want to know what you figure out bc my thinkpad does the sh*t you are describing.

Yep I understood very little, makes me wonder what I’ve been learning for years For this long ..


But I don’t really know what else to do .
Doesn’t appear to be a lot of resolved threads on the topic ......
