Modifications to make to FTDI VAGCOM cable to work well with INPA (+ all EDIABAS programs)
1. Buy a FTDI FT232RL VAG COM Cable. Do NOT buy the one with the CH340 Chip. (Example of what I bought: http://www.ebay.com/itm/FTDI-FT232RL-VAG-COM-KKL-409-1-OBD2-K- Line-KWP2000-ISO9141-USB-FOR-VW-AUDI-/281312477303 Over 5 copies from this seller, and all have been great.) a. Drivers http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm I recommend driver Version 2.10.00 (bottom of page) to avoid potential problems with some cables.
2. Open cable and solder pin #7 and #8 together. (Optional - if you want to use cable with newer BMWs)
a.Invert RI # and DSR # signals to fool the detection of battery and ignition, in order to be able to encode. b. I / O Controls settings: #C0 = RXLED #C1 = TXLED #C2 = PWRON #C3 = PWRON #C4 = SLEEP
c. After making your changes: "Save Template as" (green floppy disk button, or File -> Save as..) d. Program the cable with new settings: "Program" (Lightning button, or Device -> Program)
