Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM3) Driver

The Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM3) 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 supported phone-management software to communicate with their device for tasks such as object exchange or file transfers, particularly when the interface appears as an unknown device or shows a driver error.

Key Features

• USB interface recognition: Helps Windows identify the Sony Ericsson OBEX interface and associate it with the appropriate driver.
• OBEX communication support: Enables compatible software to use the phone’s object-exchange interface; available functions depend on the handset and application.
• COM port identification: The COM3 label identifies the port assigned by Windows. A different port number may appear on another computer or after reconnecting the device.
• Legacy Windows support: Intended for use with compatible driver packages for Windows 10, 8.1, 7, Vista, and XP. Check the individual package’s operating system and architecture requirements before installation.

How to Install Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM3) Driver

1. Confirm the device identity. Open Device Manager and locate the Sony Ericsson interface, which may appear under Ports or Other devices. Check its hardware IDs if you need to distinguish it from other phone interfaces.
2. Choose a compatible package. Before starting your Sony Ericsson Device 0016 USB WMC OBEX Interface (COM3) driver download for Windows, verify support for your Windows edition and 32-bit or 64-bit architecture. When considering a free download, prioritize a trusted source and clear compatibility information.
3. Prepare the files. Extract the downloaded archive if necessary. If the package includes an installer, follow its instructions about when to connect the phone.
4. Install the driver. Run the supplied setup program, or right-click the interface in Device Manager, select Update driver, and browse to the extracted driver folder.
5. Check the connection. Restart Windows if prompted, reconnect the phone, and confirm that the interface appears without a warning icon. Test communication using compatible Sony Ericsson software.

Keep the driver updated when a compatible release addresses connection issues or improves reliability. Choose the latest version that explicitly supports your device rather than assuming a newer package is suitable. For Windows 10/11 systems, verify support separately: Windows 10 compatibility does not establish Windows 11 support, which is not listed for this device. Before an update, retain a working installer so you can restore the previous configuration if needed.
