Hi

I have got a dead Vag Tacho cable, and i am thinking about using the connector and housing, so i can make another cable.
Mostly i work with VAG cars, Audi, Seat, Skoda and Volkswagen, so the cable needs to be able to talk to these cars.
I allready have a VCDS 805 cable, and a working Vag Tacho cable, so what cable can i make, and for what programs?
The pc i use dont have any serial ports, so i need to be either USB, or serial, that works with a USB to serial adapter.

Best Regards

VCDS (or vagcom) don't work with this cable. Another schematics, anoter parts, etc
Why is dead your cable?

Hi

i think it is possible to make an simple k line interface runing under virtual COM port and use with ex vag-com311

The cable is dead because i used the newest version of vagtacho, i can still use it with vag tacho 2.20, but my other cable uses a newer version.
Is it possible to make a cable for fx webasto thermo test?
The only part of the cable i wanna reuse is the OBD connector and housing, for the PCB.

Best Regards

Yeah, i have just seen that.
But i dont have any hardware to read eeproms, other than my other vag tacho cable, so licnick is not much use for me.

Best regards

Hi

Is it possible to use another driver with the VagTacho cable, so i can use is as a K line adapter, to older programs that use the comport?

make a dongle of LICZNIK 4.8 with it.
if its FTDI with 93cxx it will work

I think that your only choice now

I have tried to make a dongle, and it works.
But i dont have any equipment i can use with licznik 4.8.
Thats why i would rather use is a simple K line interface.
