Hi,

I can connect to all ECUs on my '02 Alfa166 except Xenon using the ONDKEY BT with the green adapter.

I also tried the purple one like proposed by AlfaOBD, but no success there either.

An I missing something?

Thanks,

Oliver

Hi Eddy,

yes, tried the green adapter - no success... I tried another (old) laptop without bluetooth and a serial VAG interface.. this was able to connect but since multiecuscan is not licensed on that machine I could not read the DTCs.

But my registered version is able to connect to all other ECUs with the green adapter and OBDKEY BT. So whats wrong?

Cheers,
Oliver

ok, using an OBDlink adapter via USB I was able to connect to the XENON ECU. Error C1002 - low voltage from sensor. See what I can find..

I wonder why the OBDKEY wasn't able to connect....?
