Again, I will happily buy a genuine 409.1 cable if there is a difference.Ĭlick to expand.The 'B' is the original chip from FTDI that offered control over latency. Just truing to sort this as I am chasing a drivability issue in a Subaru and even the factory Subaru diagnostics isn't as in depth as ecuExplorer. The VCDS will communicate under the OBD2 tab no problems. So what I am wondering is, is there something 'special' about the 409.1 cable and if not, I have to wonder when I plug the VAG-Com cable I have into my computer if it automatically 'connects' to the VCDS instead of the ecuExplorer which leads me to my second question.if I uninstall VCDS what do I have to go thru to re-install it? would I be 'locked out' of ever using VCDS again?
Sad but true, i'm NOT pc savvy (but pretty dam good at diagnostics) so I downloaded the ecuExplorer and got it to 'work' but I can't communicate with the ECU. One, is the 409.1 cable available? I see the clones, and although I need this for a different purpose I would much rather buy a genuine cable from Ross-Tech if possible. it requires a vag-com cable KKL 409.1 (from what I gather) I currently have a Hex+CAN cable (legit, as I registered it here) I have a couple of questions. There is a open source Subaru diagnostic/data logging program called ecuExplorer. I don't expect much help here, but want to support Ross Tech if at all possible.
