Cables/adapters to use

Post by Timmerklits »

Hello,

Maybe it's allready asked here.

I have the normal OBD VAG cable to USB, adapted to do also Airbag and ABS.

Wich cables I do need to do the other diagnoses, and wich one best to buy? (ELM)

Thanks

It all depends on what cars you are looking to diagnose.

Please read this page carefully: http://multiecuscan.net/SupportedVehiclesList.aspx

Here you will see what coverage you can get, by vehicle, with KKL/VAG, ELM and OBDKey interfaces.

Do not confuse Interface and cable requirements. These are two completely different things.

Personally I would get KKL AND ELM or OBDKey. You will then be covered for I think everything.

Gendan in the UK (www.gendan.co.uk) do a good ELM interface. Better still they do a ready made cable set that matches the cable connections detailed on the above referenced page.

Hope this helps.

Hello,

Thanks for the information.

What about the OBD key?

I see that with that one you can do every module and car?
Or is this one maybe more expensive?

kind Regards,
