Does it matter if it is a USB or a Ethernet connection to the computer? I am not a computer wizard...someone else is doing it for me...I just have to buy the cable.

pretty sure the F-series cables are Ethernet only.... anyway, that one in the ebay link is made by a guy that used to help out with coding on this forum. He's pretty responsive with emails and he's a nice guy.

Hey guys, plugged the cable in the port and done with coding but I am having a hard time pulling the connector off the car's port, do I need to press on something in the connector or just apply more force to pull it out? I am afraid of pulling too hard and ripping the port out!

Just wanted to doublecheck before I went any further.

I just grab the connector by the sides and wiggle it down off the port. Done it multiple times without issue.

Inexpensive cable from Amazon worked well for me
