   Features:
  • Compatible with all 1990-2002 VW/Audi cars using a single K-line or K plus L (2002+ Audi models gain additional functionality with the TWIN-COM).
  • Fully automatic protection against over-current conditions on both K and /L lines, no fuses required. 
    -- Eliminates the most common failure mode.
  • Bi-Color (red/green) status/activity LED
  • 12 month guarantee on electronics against defects.

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 adapter is about 6 feet long -- just right for most laptops.   If you want to use this interface with a desktop PC, you will need a standard serial (DB9M to DB9F) extension cord.   We usually stock extensions in 15' (3m), 25' (7.5m) and 50' (15m) lengths.   See the order form for pricing.

Known Issues:

A few models of cars have extremely tight trim around the OBD-II connector.  The MAX-COM uses an OBD-II connector that is sometimes difficult to fit easily into the following cars:  

Note:

We do not sell any interface adapters  as a "Stand-Alone" products.   We only sell them with our VAG-COM software.
