You don't need to hookup power at all, notice it says power output for target devices... The ECU already has power at CN2 and this device is powered by USB. What you do need to do is make sure the drivers are installed.

CN2 does not have the same pinouts as this device. You will need to switch the wires.
1: GND
2: RX (Data from the PC to the ECU)
3: +5 - No connection needed
4: TX (Data from ECU to the PC)
5: N.C. (not connected)

What version of Crome are you using? If your using the free version of Crome you will not be able to datalog.

What gauges are you trying to set up?

If you're absolute on staying with what you have this is the only one I know of that is public and supports the stock protocol.

Otherwise you'd be better off getting a map made in several of the tuning options available and using their respective datalogging software.
