Steps to make the software and adapter work
Step 1 – Plug in your SUBARU OBDII cable, let your computer find the drivers automatically.
If not the cables usually come with a CD with the drivers, use this.

It really depends on which cable you get.
Ps. The OBDII cable from uobd2 required no setup, plugged in, found, done. Works on Windows XP, Vista and 7 OS.

Step 2 – Install the software

On the drop down: Serial Port
Select which COM port your adapter is on
If you have no idea with I am talking about:
On your keyboard hold the windows button and push Pause/Break
Click Device Manager
Select Ports (COM & LPT)
Your adapter should be listed here
Right click the adapter, select Properties
Under Port Settings, Advanced you can see which port it is on, you can change this to another # if you want.
This path may be different depending on which OS you use.

Step 3 – Plug into the OBD II connector with the key on and “Test Diagnostic Interface” under Preferences.
If it all checks out you are good to go.
