x6gas Posted April 22, 2018 Report Share Posted April 22, 2018 Anyone know where I can get a suitable ALDL cable for the S4 Esprit? I have a decent serial to USB interface so can be a RS232 version. Kato's site says they are out of stock... Quote Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

internets Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Do not suppose anyone is in contact with Ian ( @x6gas)? I have been in contact with him several times but not heard back from him lately and he has not been back on TLF since 26th April and according to RM he has not collected the parcel I sent, although RM is not always up to date on its delivery status I have found in the past!

espritluxembourg Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 just found this thread. I need a cable with usb connection. Seem to be easily available from USA but not worth the hasle of customs or cost, so anyone in europe have one they no longer need or can point me to a supplier?

red911sc83 Posted August 28, 2019 Report Share Posted August 28, 2019 Anyone know where I can source a ALDL cable for a 92 esprit? I'm located south of Boston, MA. Thanks, Kenny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pureguava Posted October 8, 2019 Report Share Posted October 8, 2019 Hi I made one up myself - you just need to get the 10 pin plug ( GM ) interface plug an RS232 socket ( assuming you are using a serial ported lap top) and a few resistors and transistors - See pictures - sorry about the state of that plug - it's seen a lot of work and re-soldering make sure it's a 10 pin and not a 12 pin GM cable you get Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Escape Posted October 10, 2019 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Just to add, you don't need the (hard to find) ALDL plug. I've just cut off the one in my Esprit and replaced it with a simple universal connector pair. If I use my cable on another Esprit, I use a set of jumper wires to connect to the standard ALDL.

Giniw Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 (edited) @Escape > the aldl plug is actually easy to find on ebay (just look for a "GM aldl 10 pin" for instance) Here is the first one I found with "gm 10 pins" on ebay.co.uk for instance (< £5 with free shipping) : https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/263896274260 edit: and another one even cheaper: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303295980584 Anyway, there are plenty of them ^^ Edited October 10, 2019 by Giniw Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gold FFM Escape Posted October 10, 2019 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 Indeed, good find! When I was looking a couple of years ago, I didn't find much (except US) so decided to use different connectors. Maybe I should buy one to use instead of the jumpers.

Giniw Posted October 10, 2019 Report Share Posted October 10, 2019 I struggled a bit when I bought one for the Elan too, I can't remember what words I used though, it seems there are much more items under the GM 10 pins than ALDL though.

Gold FFM Escape Posted October 11, 2019 Gold FFM Report Share Posted October 11, 2019 I can always claim adding lightness, as the small 4-pin connector weighs less than the ALDL one. 😛 2 Quote I have made many mistakes in my life.
