Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM17) Driver

The Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM17) driver helps Windows communicate with the OBEX interface of a compatible Sony Ericsson phone connected by USB. It is intended for users who need compatible phone-management software to recognize the device for object exchange, such as supported file transfers, or who see this interface listed with a driver warning in Device Manager.

Key Features

• Enables interface recognition: Helps Windows identify the Sony Ericsson USB WMC OBEX interface so compatible applications can access it.
• Supports OBEX communication: Provides the connection layer used by supported software to exchange objects with the phone; available functions depend on the handset and application.
• Identifies a virtual COM interface: The COM17 label indicates the port assigned on this computer. Windows may assign a different COM number after reconnection or installation.
• Covers legacy Windows systems: Listed operating systems include Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Choose a package that matches your Windows version and system architecture.

How to Install Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM17) Driver

1. Check your system and device. Confirm your Windows version and whether it is 32-bit or 64-bit. In Device Manager, inspect the device’s hardware IDs to help verify that the package matches your interface.
2. Select a compatible package. Before starting the Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM17) driver download for Windows, review the supported systems and publisher details. Choose the latest version explicitly compatible with your setup. A free download should still be checked for authenticity.
3. Prepare the connection. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary. Use a working USB data cable and follow any package instructions about when to connect the phone.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied installer, or open Device Manager, right-click the interface, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder. Do not bypass security warnings for an unverified package.
5. Verify operation. Restart if prompted, reconnect the phone, and check that Device Manager no longer shows a warning. Test the connection with compatible Sony Ericsson software.

Keep the driver updated when a verified, compatible release addresses a connection problem or improves support. For Windows 10/11 systems, check compatibility carefully: Windows 10 is listed here, but Windows 11 support is not confirmed. Avoid replacing a working driver solely because an unrelated package has a newer version number.
