INPA INTERFACE USB OR RS232 ??

Hello members:

Which interface is better for Inpa/NCS USB OR RS232 ??

Thanks

I use USB interface for it.
Because the newer Cars (ea. my Mini R56)use CAN, so i bought a usb Interface from do-it-auto.eu.

I read in bimmerforums the following:

"
The KKL USB to serial cables are no safe bets to get INPA and DIS to work, if you do as I describe here you will get a working system:

The reason is that the USB interface needs a driver to make a vitrual RS232 Com1 interface and very often this does not bring the quality that EDIABAS needs. "


What do you thing about it ??

I am specially interesting in E46 cars.

If you want to use the cable for new cars then you need a K+DCAN INPA USB.

RS232 is only good if your working with a car earlier than 1998. Anything from 1998+ on INPA USB is the best IMO.

Reason why I do NOT use RS232 is because I use the software on my laptop.
