This review is from: OBD2 OBD II Diagnostic USB Cable For KKL409.1 VAG-COM 409 (Electronics) I ordered this to communicate with my late model Triumph motorcycle ECU. This is the same model as is sold on eBay from various Chinese retailers but I chose Amazon because of the improved return policy over eBay sellers. The item is fulfilled by Amazon which means I received it promptly and in secure packaging. While the picture shows a translucent blue device, the one I received is solid black plastic, I can only assume this is due to variations in suppliers or manufacturing. It worked on my first attempt to connect using the free TuneECU software (when using the recommended FTDI drivers not the ones supplied with the device). What can I say more than that? I haven't tested it with a hundred different vehicles, but I do know for my one application it worked perfectly on my first attempt. EDIT: To those wishing to purchase this who are dissuaded by the negative reviews, please note: This does NOT come with any software.

This review is from: OBD2 OBD II Diagnostic USB Cable For KKL409.1 VAG-COM 409 (Electronics) I ordered this cable to interface to my 1999 Triumph Sprint ST motorcycle.

The only thing that was different from the description was that the cable I received was all black instead of a catchy translucent blue. I could care less, the cable works great. 4 of 4 people found the following review helpful: By Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?) This review is from: OBD2 OBD II Diagnostic USB Cable For KKL409.1 VAG-COM 409 (Electronics) Seems to work fine on my 05 WRX with Romraider for logging and EcuFlash 1.29 for ECU operations. I just got the drivers from FTDI and use it on an Eee pc running Windows XP.
Addendum: As I said above, it seems to work fine for just logging or reading the ECU, but I couldn't get it to flash the ECU; kept getting a low voltage warning in EcuFlash. Found a forum post with a hack to get it to work, which is really easy to do if you know how to solder. Can't post a link in the review, but you just open up the casing on the OBD connector side and jump pins 16 and 11 on the back of the OBD connector. |
