2025 Evolution D5 Plus Programming Software Connection Issue

[Jay_Buchanan]

I have a 2025 Evolution D5 Plus and purchased cable CC-CBL-EVO2SE cable to go along with Software EV48-400-C and I am not able to connect the software to the cart (see attached picture). I have installed both drivers that were in the download package and still not able to connect. I have reset the connection to the cart and computer multiple times along with restarting the computer and cycling the golf cart off/on multiple times.

Golf Cart: On
Controller: EV48-400-C (see attached picture)
Cable: CC-CBL-EVO2SE
Software: EV48-400-C
Drivers: CH340 CH341Driver & PL2303_Prolific_DriverInstaller_v1.12.0-new-UGREEN

Would anyone be able to assist?

Thank you in advance!

you might just have the wrong comm port.

Go to the Other tab and Serial Port dropdown, select the port where your cable is connected

That is where the cable is connected...why I have the Device Manager in background (circled with red arrow showing what port it's connected to) and corresponding port selected in the "other" tab.

There are no other options for me to select...it has "Port 3" (where cable is connected) and blank.

Thanks for the tip though.

yeah I see that now, sorry. Your picture is so small, I can't read anything and until you pointed it out, I had not idea that was device manager in the background.

I guess it could be a bad cable. Or a driver conflict. You have drivers installed that I never have needed for a cart cable and windows. They just work out of the box for me

I can't tell in your picture. Do you have the correct comm settings? Does device manager say the port is functioning?

When you pull the cable, device manager shows that port gone?

Problem was using a Mac with Windows installed via Parallels Desktop.

Purchased a cheap Windows 11 laptop, installed drivers and software and had no issues connecting to the cart.

Does anyone have “recommended” settings for the Evolution D5?

Thank you for your assistance!

Jay, I wanted a bit more speed so I made the following changes to my D5:

Under the "Standard Gear Mode" tab I set the "H Gear Peak Forward Speed (RPM)" to 5750. That got me 30/31 mph.

Under the "Accelerator" tab i wanted a bit more deceleration (drag) when lifting the throttle so I doubled the decel values in all the rpm ranges - so for example the 0-500 rpm went from 2 to 4.

Good luck!

Jay, is it not possible to use Parallels to program the cart? I hate to buy a windows PC just for that.

In my experience, I was not able to use Parallels Mac program to successfully connect to the cart (see first post with what I was experiencing). I had to buy a cheap $250 Windows PC just for this reason. At least I have offset the $$$ by programming 2 other carts, so has made it a smaller “pill to swallow”.
