This is the cable I got, it seems to work fine until I get to step 40 of the DIY then I get the following error,
Vin Is Faulty
COAPI-2000: EDIBAS OR SGBD error
IFH-0003: DATATRANSMISSION TO INTERFACE DISTURBED
I've tried all possible solutions listed throughout this thread and on the ********* forum on both of my Dell Inspiron windows 7 and my Toshiba Satellite Windows 7 laptops
same results, I've removed all files and re downloaded them 3 times, updated DATEN files, downloaded the the correct driver from ftdi,
Is the cable my problem? Do I need to desolder pin 8?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!!
Thanks

Yes, 1st thing - you chose to buy a different, cheaper cable than the recommended/proven one - now it's pretty hard to tell whether the errors are cable related or otherwise - risk you took by saving $40.
Secondly, the FTDI Drivers are used with the recommended/proven cable - not certain whether they are compatible with the cable you purchased.
Thirdly, even if they are compatible with the cable, the FTDI Drivers listed are for WinXP - not Win7. Directly from the drivers installation instructions:

Are you running in XP emulation mode?
Fourthly. did you set the USB Port under Device Manager for your cable to be 'COM1'? If not, then it won't work correctly. You also need to set the Latency from default of 16 to 1
