Yeah that looks like the same cable I have. It's just a standard hotsync cable, you dont need a usb adapter. Also palmnstein is really a horrible piece of software, if you can save up some cash and get pocketlogger it would be worth it

look at getting MMCD its a good loggin program. i really need to sell that logger cable i have.

 

[jameswemm]

whats the difference between the pocket logger and what i got.(palm m125 -palmenstein and looking into the mmcd.)jott5555 is that your ebay listing.

mmcd kicks ass its totally user freindly and very reputiable. do a search on it, a lot of 1g guys use it, they need a version for 2g and ill be happy

I purchased the same thing as well...and have a question on getting it hooked up on my DSM.

about 3 years ago I had the TMO logger and it was real easy to install and use. One connection to the fuse box, then the othre just plugged into the diagnostic port.

This cable however has 3 plugs, and I know one goes to the fuse box like my TMO cable...but where do the other two connect to the diagnostic port at? Any help anyone!?

if your lookin at the obd port the two black wires go to on the pins 1 and 3 on the bottom right of th port. the red wire goes on the top left pin.

Nope, unlike the logger cable you got from TMO, the new one is passive and has no power connection. Ask the seller which pin goes where. The really cheap cables will have two connectors that are common and those go to pins 10 and 12 (bottom right) with the left over connector going to pin 1 (top left) on the DLC.
