It's a long time since laptops came with a serial coms connection. USB to serial works fine even on my tablet computer, just the problem of sorting out the driver.

I've ordered a new serial adaptor A dedicated FTDI with the driver on a disk , so if this doesn't work then Ive got issues with the car.
