Is it direct, mini USB or the Moates made cable?

I believe the moates cable the round 4 pin cable end plugs to the ECM and then USB on the laptop end
Sadly I'm just going to buy a normal ECM to enablee to tune this truck if this happens again
however I would love to get the road runner working as it certainly speeds up the process
Thanks for the assistance

Don't know how many times I have to say it guys...GET RID OF THE SUPPLIED USB connector!!!
Man..this is a MAJOR cause of issues for the RR.
Hook up a USB-b plug straight to the 'on board' socket, REMOVE the ribbon cable (unplug it and pull it out) and be done with it!

YOU ONLY NEED TWO TOOLS IN LIFE - WD-40 AND DUCT TAPE. IF IT DOESN'T
MOVE AND SHOULD, USE THE WD-40. IF IT SHOULDN'T MOVE AND DOES, USE THE
DUCT TAPE.
IF YOU CAN'T FIX IT WITH A HAMMER, YOU'VE GOT AN ELECTRICAL PROBLEM.

Does the computer make a ding dong sound when you plug in the RR?
Mine did but didn't show up under ports it showed up under USB devices as USB Serial Device in Device Manager..
So I had to go to that device and right click or double click and update driver and then manually navigate to the folder where the .inf is from the driver you downloaded from efilive or better yet from FDTI.com. the VCxx drivers IIRC.
Once done should switch it over to show under comm ports. If not reboot.
If you hear a ding dong dong dong dong sound that is a driver that failed.
And always be suspect of the supplied usb cable. The bulkhead connector is crap. And going to ribbon I don't think helps either. Mine when I unscrew only 1 turn of the threads disconnects from the computer. Meaning very little pin engagement.

I will try what u said but don't know why it would work fine and then not? I never changed anything

In hindsight....I'd just remove the supplied USB socket and cable, buy a small gland to fit in the same hole and install the USB-b cable/plug through there!
Man....I had CONSTANT issues with the RR dropping out, having to reload drivers, not recognising the RR....etc...etc.
NEVER had an isue since doing this.....and I've used the RR 100's/1000's of times!!!

I sent a connector idea to craig but he never go around to messing with it. It is a chassis mount usb connector from molex. Go to molex.com and look up usb. You'll find it.
I have some will have to get around to modding up mine to show it.
