Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM8) Driver

The Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM8) driver helps Windows recognize the OBEX communication interface exposed by a compatible Sony Ericsson phone connected over USB. It supports object-exchange communication used by compatible phone-management software, making it useful if your device appears as an unknown interface or cannot connect properly for supported transfers.

Key Features

• USB interface recognition: Helps Windows identify the phone’s OBEX interface so compatible applications can communicate with it.
• Object-exchange support: Enables communication used for transferring supported items, such as files or contacts, when the phone and application provide that functionality.
• COM port integration: Supports the interface shown here as COM8 in Device Manager. Windows may assign a different COM number on another computer.
• Legacy Windows support: Intended for compatible configurations running Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, or XP. Check the individual package’s operating-system and architecture requirements before installation.

How to Install Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM8) Driver

1. Verify your device. Connect the Sony Ericsson phone using a data-capable USB cable, then open Device Manager. Locate the OBEX interface or unidentified device and check its hardware IDs to confirm that the driver package matches.
2. Choose the correct package. Before starting your Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM8) driver download for Windows, confirm support for your Windows edition and 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. Choose a trusted free download source and scan the downloaded files.
3. Prepare the files. Extract the archive if necessary. If the package includes an installer, follow its instructions, including any request to disconnect the phone temporarily.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied setup program, or right-click the matching device in Device Manager, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder. Avoid forcing an incompatible package or bypassing driver-signature protections.
5. Confirm the connection. Reconnect the phone and restart Windows if prompted. Check that Device Manager no longer reports a device error, then test communication with compatible Sony Ericsson software.

Keep the driver updated when a verified, compatible release addresses connection problems or improves stability. The latest version available may still be a legacy release; for Windows 10/11 systems, check compatibility carefully rather than assuming both are supported. Windows 11 is not included in the stated supported OS list. Before you update a working installation, retain the previous package in case you need to roll back.
