It's coming to a time I need to get a new laptop and adaptor. I know my cat com adaptor 2 won't talk to cummins. If I got a 3 would it cover using et and insite or do I need a different one like inline or???. I'm new to insite. Et and insite are all I'm interested in as of now.

i believe that a cat comm 3 will only talk to cat. For cummins you need an inline 7? Or a nexiq comm adapter. Now to throw a wrench in the works. My cummins inline 7 will connect to a truck with a cat engine in it.

Thats moreless what I've found I just got a nexiq ordered this evening. My laptop is at my ladyfreinds brother's getting windows 10 installed as it was still on 7 I'm just hoping at this point I don't need a new laptop to make it happen.
