This sounds like it could be very handy for me. I have a 1996 megane coupe 2.0 16v and have wanted to read data for ages! Can anyone confirm they have managed to get all the parts in the uk?

Can anyone advise on this ...I have a 1996 Megane Coupe 2.0 16v - DA0H - F7R engine. My diagnostics plug is in the pic below and its an OBD plug. Do I have the 12 pin socket somewhere on the car?

**manocao** · 26th October, 2010, 04:59 PM

your connector is obd2 16pin
you can also use xr25pc with kkl interface like cheap vag com 409.1 from ebay
ask author if f7r engine is supported

I messaged the author, he said it won't work on mine as my ECU is Fenix 5 and I should try DDT2000. Just downloaded the software and bought an ELM323 from ebay in the hope that it works.

Edit** Would the 323 cable work OK or do I need the KKL one you mentioned

or do you know if the 323 will work with DDT2000?

Thanks for your help

No way 323 work with ddt2000. You need kkl interface or dedicated interface for ddt2000 ( schematics posted somewhere here on dk )

**Spikyhercules** · 26th October, 2010, 07:13 PM

Is it one of these I need ... VAG COM USB DIAGNOSTIC CABLE 409.1 OBD2 II LEAD VAG-COM on eBay (end time 26-Oct-10 20:11:45 BST)

**manocao** · 27th October, 2010, 01:08 AM

yes, it is SUPPOSED that ddt2000 will work with that kind of vag com 409.1 kkl "blue cable" cheap interface (also sold in black colour but is well known as "blue cable")

**Spikyhercules** · 27th October, 2010, 08:58 AM

Excellent, I bought one last night so will give it a go when it arrives

**Spikyhercules** · 28th October, 2010, 01:53 PM

The vag-com 409.1 cable arrived today. Plugged it in, installed drivers, checked it was working with vag-com software, all fine. Started DDT2000, plugged cable into the car, LED lit up on cable, in DDT2000 I could select COM3 but it doesn't seem to do anything at all. is there any way i can tell if DDT is using the cable? or a link to a DDT2000 manual? Also what driver should I use with the cable as DDT2000 has its own drivers... I'm totally lost.

**alfabit** · 28th October, 2010, 03:21 PM

You must select the COM that appear by plugging-in the cable you bought. DDT works only on COM ( USB - serial COM in control panel ), you can`t tell DDT the type of cable you are using, or original CAN interface ( not your case )
I never use cables bought, I use cables ( interfaces ) made by me because I know what I am doing .

**Spikyhercules** · 28th October, 2010, 03:49 PM

If I knew exactly what sort of interface I need and could find the schematics for it I'd build it.

My cable has COM3 set in device manager and DDT shows that COM port on the Hardware > Diag port bit. I select it, click OK then it takes me to Scan part of DDT. I click the binoculars for all, DDT starts scanning flashes up with 'ISO8?' on every test then says none.

What drivers do you use for your cables/interfaces used for DDT?

My ECU is Fenix 5 if you know of anything that will read it?
