Cum conectezi carputerul la calculatorul masinii

Interfata USB OBD2 pentru VW/AUDI/Seat

Pentru cei interesati de conectarea carputerului cu calculatorul masinii, iata ce aveti nevoie:
USB KKL 409.1 VAG COM VW AUDI Seat OBD2 Interface Cable
Interfata USB OBD2

Am gasit pe ebay o astfel de interfata. Mai jos este descrierea de pe ebay:

An essential piece of kit for Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda owners - save time and money with this VAG_COM OBD II interface which enables you to connect your PC to your car so that you can troubleshoot any problems in your vehicle by reading the Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC¡¯s) that appear when the ¡®check engine¡¯ light is showing.

This adapter is fully compatible with the diagnostic software version 409.1 from VAG-COM ¨C a software programme that turns your PC into a sophisticated diagnostic tool.

Benefits

  • Save on expensive garage fees by diagnosing your car¡¯s faults before you take it to be fixed - make sure that you are only being charged for the actual problem
  • Test second hand cars before purchasing them - don’t let unscrupulous sellers fool you into paying over the odds for an old banger
  • Don¡¯t fork out for the expensive VAG-1551 or VAG-1552 scan tools - purchase this cable for a fraction of the cost and download the VAG-COM software instead
  • Features

  • Supports VAG-COM version 409.1 or older
  • Fully automatic support for 2002+ Audi models with dual K-lines
  • High quality precision moulded diagnostic connector made to fit all Audi/VW vehicles
  • LED light shows cable communication status
  • Fully CE approved
  • In-built electronic protection from ¡®aftermarket radio problems¡¯
  • This purchase is for one 145cm long, 16 pin OBD diagnostic socket to RS232 9 pin interface cable with USB connector
  • About VAG-COM

    VAG-COM is a Windows based diagnostic software for Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda vehicles that emulates the functions of expensive professional scan tools. It is:

  • Fully compatible with all models of the above makes of car or van produced between 1996 and 2006 (see below for more information on earlier models)
  • Compatible with the above makes of car with CAN connection
  • Has a data base of more than 7500 fault codes and measuring block texts
  • Can use the new 7 digit PIN/SKC codes to match new keys in all immobilizer-equipped W, Audi, Seat and Skoda models
  • Is my Car VAG-COM Compatible

    VAG-COM will work with most Volkswagen and Audi models sold worldwide from 1994 onwards. It will also work with most late-model SEAT and Skodas sold outside of N. America.See below for full list. It does not work with diesel engines.

    If your VW or Audi has a 16pin OBD II style Data Link Connector then VAG-COM will work. If your car has the old 2×2 Data Link Connection check to see if there is a wire going to each pin - if there are 4 wires VAG-COM should work ¨C if there are only 3 it won¡¯t.

    What System Requirements do I Need

    A PC or laptop that is running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000 or XP. A Pentium 100 (or AMD equivalent) that has 16MB of RAM is recommended. VAG-COM only needs 1MB or less, so availability of disk-space is not a problem.

    How to get Started

  • Download the shareware 409.1 for a free trial or purchase the registered version from the manufacturer¡¯s website:www.ross-tech.com
  • Run it, follow the prompts and let it install (on your PC or laptop¡¯s hard disk)
  • Plug one end of the interface into a serial (RS232) (or USB) port on your PC and the other into your car¡¯s OBD II port
  • Turn on the ignition without starting the engine
  • Start the VAG-COM programme, click ¡®options¡¯, select the correct communications port and run the test to confirm that the programme is working and can find the interface. Click ¡®save¡¯.

    CarPC mai ieftin decat un DVD

    Se pare ca cei de la incarmultimedia.eu vor cu orice pret sa se tina de promisiunea care au facut-o acum cateva luni: “Vrem sa va anuntam ca in cursul anului 2008 vom putea oferi produse mai ieftine cumparatorilor nostri.”, spunea domnul Razvan, reprezentant incarmultimedia.eu.

    Au de asemenea si un site nou plin de carputere, sisteme multimedia auto si accesorii. Cand am dat peste pachetul acesta de mai jos am crezut ca nu vad bine. Se pare ca preturile carpc-urilor scad din ce in ce mai mult. Un sistem complet de carputer mai ieftin decat un dvd player cu lcd… eu zic ca e un semn bun. Iata despre ce este vorba:

    Sistem CarPC Minimum + TFT - 2.140 ron

    voom_black-tft.png

    Componente:
    Carcasa Voom din aluminiu
    Placa de baza Intel® Desktop Board D201GLY cu procesor Intel 1,33 inclus
    Hard Disk Western Digital 2,5″ 80 Gb
    Adaptor IDE 2,5″ - 3,5″
    • Memorie 512 DDR II 667
    Sursa Alimentare 200W
    Monitor Touch Screen MM400

    Infill G4 - un super carputer!

    …pe care il gasesti si la importatorii din Romania la preturi rezonabile.

    A fost prezentat in al doilea film postat pe blog, iar acum il puteti vedea mai de-aproape.  Este un all-in-one 2 DIN. Are totusi cateva defecte. Nu spala, nu gateste, nu face piata… Chiar daca pretul nu foarte mic la care il puteti gasi in Romania face ca sotiile dumneavoastra sa va ameninte ca veti dormi la usa daca il vor vedea in masina dumneavoastra… am un singur sfat: nu va insurati. Sau daca sunteti deja sau aveti de gand… pregatiti-va sufleteste iubita/sotia ca sa inteleaga de ce aveti nevoie de un “casetofon” de peste 1000 de EUR :) cand un sistem home theatre cu o plasma ar incapea asa de bine in sufragerie, numai bun pentru telenovele si Euforia TV. :)

    Va spun asta pentru ca am avut o reactie asemanatoare din partea unei colege de serviciu cand a auzit ca sonorizarea pentru masina m-a costat 1500 eur si ca urma sa am si un carputer: “Daca ai fi barbatul meu te-as culca afara pe pres daca mi-ai veni acasa cu astea!” :) In momentul acela m-am bucurat ca aveam o iubita asa de intelegatoare si tipa era doar colega mea de serviciu. Salutari, Alina K! :) Lasand gluma la o parte, nu cred ca va puteti dori ceva mai mult decat va ofera acest sistem, poate doar cateva accesorii care nu sunt incluse in pachetul de baza.

    Cititi cu atentie. O sa mai revin cu review-uri despre acest super sistem. Daca are deja cineva un Infill G4, impartasiti-ne si noua opinia dumneavoastra despre el.

    PS: Multumesc www.optix.ro pentru imagini si detalii tehnice!
