Professional ISO OBD-II / VAGCOM / AlfaDiag / VOL-FCR KKL RS232 Interface
Description:
This interface (adapter) is used as an interface and a serial cable to connect an ISO compliant vehicle to a PC for on-board diagnostics (OBD). Such vehicles are VW, Audi, Seat, Skoda, Volvo, Opel, Vauxhall, Alfa, Mercedes, BMW, etc.
It is fully compatible with the diagnostic software version 409.1 from VAG-COM.
