Yes it's the right cable, no it's not a cable with a switch to change modes.
I'm using Windows 10 64 bit. I installed the 64 bit drivers from EDIABAS and was successful, but when I plug in the cable, I'm still not getting cable detection or ignition detection in INPA. The only thing that's changed is that it's a new laptop and I think previously I was using a USB 2.0 port, but this new laptop only has USB 3.0 ports. Is this an issue?
Edit: Update/remove/clean-up below info
In Windows 10 you have to manually add the "Ports (COM & LPT)" device in device manager. I did so by going to the "Action" menu in device manager and selecting "Add legacy hardware". Ok done. Then under the Ports "tree" there is permanently a "Communications Port" device. I changed this one to COM4 in the properties menu. Then I plugged in my cable and it showed up as "KDCAN" USB device in device manager in its own "tree". I went into properties for this device and manually installed the 64 bit drivers from the EDIABAS hardware folder in the C drive. After this, my cable showed up as "USB to Serial converter" in the "Universal Serial Bus controllers" tree. Then a new type of USB device showed up in its own tree (can't remember the name) and I reinstalled the drivers again for this new device. After that, I finally had "USB Serial Port" show up in the "Ports (COM & LPT)" tree. Now I was finally able to go to properties and change the COM port to COM1 and set latency to 1. From what I remember last time I coded, this was all that was needed to set up the cable in Windows 10, but the cable is STILL not showing up. I have tried with the cable by itself and with the cable plugged up to the OBD port. Same result. No cable detected and no ignition detected.
See screenshot below for details. Does anyone have any advice?

Double check C:\EDIABAS\BIN\OBD.ini still shows COM Port = 1. Can also try another USB port on the laptop. Did you import the DATEN for your car? Even after doing all of that, there are some instances where the dots won't turn on. Still try and proceed as if everything is good and see what error you get. |
I'll check the .ini file at lunch. I might have forgotten about the import step. I have the DATEN file on my PC. Was there somewhere I needed to import it to before opening INPA?
