Hi!
I have car diagnostic device ELM327 with usb port connection, but Mint can't recognize it.
Here is the list of devices from terminal:
~ $ lsusb
Bus 007 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 006 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 005 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 004 Device 002: ID 09da:000e A4 Tech Co., Ltd
Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 003 Device 003: ID 7073:3037
Bus 003 Device 002: ID 046d:c215 Logitech, Inc. Extreme 3D Pro
Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub
Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub
That device is listed as "Bus 003 Device 003" and, as you can see, has no description.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Re: Problems with OBD2 interface
That it has no description just means that nobody has submitted the name of the device on https://usb-ids.gowdy.us/ yet. You don't need a proper description for the device to work, you need a driver instead. Drivers don't look for descriptions, but use 7073:3037 codes or the like instead.
I found a Polish forum thread about it, which I translated with Google Translate. It says FTDI, manufacturer of the device, has a Linux driver to be able to use this interface as a serial port.

Thanks for your help,
I installed ftdi driver as you said, but the device did not work so I searched the internet and found this command:
modprobe ftdi_sio vendor=0x7073 product=0x3037
Now the device is working properly.
Here is link that might help someone with same problem: http://ftdi-usb-sio.sourceforge.net/
