Hi all

i can succesfully connect to modern stuff, so when i bought another R plate 146, 2.0 TS Ti, i knew i needed a 3pin adaptor, so bought one.

Ive been trying it today, but no matter waht i can't connect.

Its a decent looking adaptor, with ground and power crocodile connections, and feels positive when connecting to both the car and my 16pin lead, but all i get is connection failed errors, no communication with the ecu.

please advise fella's, what am i missing?

cheers

Hi Enigma

the only writing on it is OBD2, but as it is what i use for my 156, 147 era cars, i believe it is a KKL

does this help?

I believe it is a KKl cable

it says OBD 2 on it, and i use it for my 156/147 stuff all the time.

It is modded to connect to abs and airbag ecus, by connecting those pins to the K Line, another reason for me to assume it a KKL

would i be right in assuming that?
