Mileage: 26276km-16327mi Repair Order: hex can VCDS - Windows Based VAG/VAS Emulator Running on Windows 10 圆4
Unfortunately, VWW's word limit policy won't allow me to post-up the full results of 2 x autoscans (in the one post), but here's a cut-down section of the auto-scan result using my HEX+CAN cable same car, same laptop, same RT version software) - the only difference was the cable. For each run, I have tried to keep all the variables the same (i.e. So Here's the broad basis of my speed-test: I've just completed two auto-scans on my mk7: one with my HEX-NET cable and again with my HEX+CAN cable.
But - and there is always a but - the design of HEX+CAN cables must be some where around 20 years old now and as was demonstrated in the "Ross-Tech" firmware patch that was needed to fix the compatibility problem with MIBII, the design of HEX+CAN cables is approaching its limit as VW's control modules become ever more complex and ever more up-to-date!!Īs far as my claim about the relative performance of HEX-NET versus HEX+CAN (still a good cable), perhaps an easy way to demonstrate this is through the simple process of an autoscan. So, to be clear- I'm not saying that there is anything wrong with HEX+CAN cables. The_Hawk: Hi again - First, I must apologise if I have not been sufficiently clear - English is a cow of a language in which to express any assertion and alas it has a second disadvantage of being it my second language :cool:!! Honestly, money well spent for what it's done over the years. I don't think the 10 VIN thing was even an option back then. Since then it's been plugged into many (many many) different cars from people visiting for little tweaks here and there. The dollar was near parity back then too :D I got my HEX-USB+CAN cable back in 2010 (I just looked up the receipt and note the price hasn't changed either) for US$349 + shipping bringing it to a total of US$408.09. Interesting that it's that much faster? How so? Just more responsive? I would have thought that the limiting factor was teh OBD port rather than the adaptor.
