This adapter comes with an OBD-II type
connector which plugs right in to most 1994 and newer VW's and
1996 and newer Audis. Most 1990-1995 Audis and
1990-1993 VW's have the "2x2"
data link connector, click here for more info.
Extending this Interface:
- The cable on this interface is about 6 feet long -- just
right for most laptops. The
USB standards
do not allow for passive extension cords!
If you really need an extension, you can try an
Active USB Extension. We sell
this
one in our store.
- If you plan to use a desktop PC, we
recommend you a serial HEX-COM+CAN Interface instead.
Resale:
- This interface acts as a "dongle" for VAG-COM, so
the software should be fully functional on any PC you use with
the HEX-USB. However, product support is provided only
to the original purchaser. If you
buy a second-hand HEX-USB from someone and want support, you'll still need to pay
$99 to register.
Upgrade Offer:
- Out
of production -- no longer available.
Software:
- The HEX-USB should be used with
Release 404.0 or newer
version of VAG-COM. .
Known Issues:
-
This
interface performs best with Windows-XP. It
can be used with Windows 98, ME, or 2000, but performance
may be somewhat degraded by using an OS other than Windows
XP and compatibility with "difficult" control modules may
be reduced.
Notes:
-
This interface
requires a special driver to be installed on your
PC. It does not emulate a COM port. That
means this interface will not work with any other
software besides VAG-COM.
-
We do not sell any interface
adapters as a
"Stand-Alone" products. We only sell them with
our software.
