Is there any way to get the PLMS USB Cable working in Linux?
I just want to use it as a normal consult cable.

I tried the keyspan module thinking it was a similar FTDI chip but no go.

modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x0403 product=0xc7d9

That did the trick.

I wrote some simple python code to send '0xff' '0xff' '0xef' to the ecu via the serial port device that was created when I loaded the ftdi module.
I get a 0x10 back so all works..
