This makes us reluctant to put them in our web-store. However, this "marriage" requires a revised license to be loaded in the interface, so the initial installation is not just plug-an-play. Once "married" to your interface, these converters provide the exact same functionality as our HEX-USB or HEX-USB+CAN interfaces.

Please understand, this is a recommendation only if you purchase your own USBSerial converter, please do not expect us to support it.įor registered users with HEX-COM or HEX-COM+CAN interfaces, we can supply a modified FT232B based USBSerial converter, which is compatible with the "Direct" drivers provided with VCDS version 10.6 and newer, and is fully supported by us. See this screen-shot as a guide to configuring these devices. It is essential to configure the virtual COM port that it creates to be in the range of COM1 to COM4, and to set the Latency timer to 2. If you wish to use a USBSerial converter, we recommend that you get one with an FT232B or FT232R chipset.

Many generic USBSerial converters are unable to handle the baud rate and timing requirements that are demanded by some control modules using the VAG protocols.
