Predator PC Interface Kit
I heard that you can save $$ by getting the serial cable and power supply separately at a place like Radio Shack instead getting the Predator kit.
Anybody know if this is possible?
If so, were do you get the PC interface software?
Does the Predator PC Interface Kit come with the software?
Any help is much appreciated.
Thanks!

I got the data cable and power supply from Radio Shack also. The software is available at the DiabloSport website.

Required Items
1: Serial Cable:
Standard straight-through DB9 (9-pin to 9-pin) RS232C serial cable (6 foot cable is more than enough). Check your computer to see if you have a male or a female port on the back, as some are different. You will need a male end to go into your Predator.
(Radio Shack Part # 26-117, 6-ft DB9 male to DB9 female shielded cable.)
2: Power Adapter:
CLASS 2 TRANSFORMER
OUTPUT : 12VDC 1000mA (1 Amp)(Radio Shack Part # 273-1776)
Note: Plug Tip is 2.5mm x 5.5mm, female, and center is positive.(Radio Shack Part # 273-1717)
Radio Shack normally carries both of these items. Most Wal-Marts have the Power Adapter (multi output version).
Note: If you have a laptop, you can use the vehicle's power to power up the Predator, instead of using a Power Adapter, and just do the following with your laptop and Predator inside of your vehicle.
