Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM5) Driver

The Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM5) driver helps Windows recognize the OBEX communication interface exposed by a compatible Sony Ericsson phone connected over USB. It is intended for users who need this interface for supported file-transfer or phone-management software, or who see a missing-driver warning in Device Manager. Although listed in the Network category, this component supports device communication rather than serving as a general Wi-Fi or Ethernet adapter.

Key Features

• OBEX communication support: Enables compatible software to communicate with the phone’s object-exchange interface for supported transfer tasks.
• Windows device recognition: Helps Windows identify the Sony Ericsson USB interface correctly instead of displaying it as an unknown device.
• COM-port integration: Supports the interface shown as COM5 in this device listing; Windows may assign a different port number on another computer.
• Legacy Windows support: Intended for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP, subject to the compatibility requirements of the specific driver package.

How to Install Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM5) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. In Device Manager, check the device’s hardware IDs to help verify that the package matches your connected phone.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM5) driver download for Windows, review the supported operating systems and package source. Look for the latest version compatible with your hardware, not simply the newest available release. A free download should still come from a trustworthy source.
3. Prepare the connection. Extract the downloaded files if necessary. Connect the phone with a data-capable USB cable and select the connection mode required by your phone-management software.
4. Install the driver. Run the included installer, if provided. Otherwise, open Device Manager, right-click the matching interface, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Verify operation. Restart Windows if prompted, then check for device warnings and test the connection using compatible software. For Windows 10/11 systems, note that Windows 10 is listed as supported here, but Windows 11 compatibility is not confirmed.

Keep the driver updated when a verified, compatible update addresses connection problems or software requirements. If the interface already works reliably, review release notes before replacing it, and retain a working installer in case you need to restore the previous setup.
