Do you mean Cabletools? I tried with my Vag-com interface and it does not work, because it has different idientifier in the ftdi232 eprom. Cabletools looks for an Openport string (don't remember exactly), but my interface's identifier is something like "usb dual kkline".

I have a vag-com 409 "compatible" cable (FT232BM based) and I'd like to use the OpenPort ActiveX control with it.
if the problem is just the ftdi232 expected identifier I think that is very easy to solve...
I'd like to hear experiences on this I don't want to re-invent the wheel...

Thanks
Pat

Openport will work with VAG-COM 3.xx & VCP drivers. Check also this site http://www.hackersrussia.ru/Cells/OBD2/
