Toaf and Cowley cars?
Does Toaf work on early (1999) Rover 75 cars (V6). I got my old XP laptop out and the cable that I used to have for my 05 reg Rover 75 car. I downloaded Toaf. It connected to my lead on the COM port but when I asked it to"Scan Car" it didn't come back with anything. I seem to remember that the early cars don't communicare with Toaf. Is that correct? I don't actually need it as all is OK but just curious and bored in lockdown!

I've used it on early cars without problem, although never tried with any pre-launch as I've never seen one. Daughter had a mid-99 V6 and it worked on that.
The only problem I know of is the SRS one on cars after the introduction of Autoliv but there is a patch for that. Regards |

Many thanks.I'll try putting Toaf on my newer laptop as that one is better at installing USB connected hardware.

Tried it on a later laptop and it doesn't see the USB connection. No COM in the box at all. Doh.

My 99 Cowley V6 2.5 is fully OBD2 compliant. With an ELM 327 I can communicate via Bluetooth with my Android Torque Pro app. I can see error codes if any and lots of statistics about the engine even data may be even better & more numerous on later cars.
Even my 1994 214i cabby is MEMS 1.6 compliant and thanks to an existing 3 pin plug in the engine bay it can be connected to my android or my laptop.

I'm guessing that I have not done the correct procedure for extracting and loading the driver for the lead. I used 7 zip.

You might have to change the COM port in Device Manager... sadly can't remember which one I used, but Windows will enumerate them automatically, choosing the next available number, and this may not match the one in TOAF... anyway, make sure they're the same
