   Features:

  • Serial connection, ideal for older, low-cost laptops or most desktop PCs.
    A USB-port version is also available; click here for full specs.

  • Compatible with all the latest cars which require a direct CAN connection for diagnostics.

  • Fully backwards compatible with older cars using a single K-line or
    K plus L.

  • Protocol timing indistinguishable from a real VAG/VAS tool.  Works reliably even with "difficult" control modules such as the 1991-1994 1Z Audi TDIs and the 1993-1994 Audi 2.6L with Hella ECU.

  • Built-In VAG-Saver functionality -- instantly alerts the user if either the K/K1 line or the L/K2 line is shorted to Ground or Vbatt.

  • Full support for dual-K lines found in "new" (B6/8E chassis Audi A4 and 2002+ Audi A6 -- no VAS-6017 required -- no manual switches!

  • Bi-Color (red/green) status/activity LED

  • 12 month guarantee against defects.

This interface comes with an OBD-II type connector which plugs right in to most 1994 and newer VW's and 1996 and newer Audis.   Most 1990-1995 Audis and 1990-1993 VW's have the "2x2" data link connector, click here for more info.

Compatibility:  

This interface works with all diagnostic-capable VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda models from 1990 through 2008. 

Computer Requirements:  

A 100 Mhz or faster PC running Windows 95 or newer with an available Serial port.   If your PC does not have an available Serial port, you should get the HEX-USB+CAN instead.

Extending this Interface:

The cable on this adapter is about 6 feet long -- just right for most laptops.   If you want to use this interface with a desktop PC, you will need a standard serial (DB9M to DB9F) extension cord.   We usually stock extensions in 15' (3m).   See the Accessories Section of our Store for pricing.

Resale:

This interface acts as a "dongle" for VAG-COM, so the software should be fully functional on any PC you use with the HEX-COM+CAN.  However, product support is provided only to the original purchaser.  If you buy a second-hand HEX-COM+CAN from someone and want support, you'll still need to pay $99 to register.

Upgrade Offer: 

HEX-COM+CAN Interfaces are available as an upgrade to existing registered VAG-COM  users.  More details are available in the Interface Upgrade Section of our Store.

Software:

This interface should should be used with the latest version of VAG-COM software.  

Note:

We do not sell any interfaces as "Stand-Alone" products.   We only sell them with our VAG-COM software.
