Anyone in Phoenix with a OBD to Ethernet cable? - Got one

The brand new cable that came with my bootmod package doesn’t work, and I left my older spare back in New Mexico. Either will buy it off you or can borrow if you won’t sell it, I just need to try some of the stuff bootmod sent me and send datalogs while I’m here for a week. Staying in north Scottsdale.

Got one, works fine now!

I will give them a shot, I have one coming from Amazon, but if Best Buy has them then that makes it easy.
Thank you

Thank you
ENET cables are honestly dead simple to make, so I'm honestly kind of surprised your initial one didn't work. Was it plugged directly into the laptop?

Yep. I have an older one at home I got years ago for coding and worked fine doing flashes and datalogs last week, then grabbed the brand new one I just got with the bootmod package to go to Phoenix with me and it won’t connect. The computer sees the Ethernet cable, but bootmod just won’t connect. Considering they are all made in China, it doesn’t surprise me that here and there someone likely missed a solder joint and it’s dead on arrival.
