MyGig 730N, Pyle 9.2' screen, iPod, front and rear cams. Here is another link hosted by me. Also, the OBDII to USB eBay cable will not work. Canbus interface adapter is what you need in order for it to work like Hemissary stated. Supported devices are CANcardX, CANcardXL, CANcardXLe, CANcaseXL, CANboardXL, StarMOBILE, and the wiTECH Pod.
I also found this site interesting. Might an alternative to the expensive Vector devices. Now the problem is if CDA detects the RS232 or the CanUSB adapters and if there are drivers available for them or if needed.
You would also need a ODBII to serial adapter for either one. If we could get this to work it work be a great alternative. Also, one other problem is that in order to flash a PCM or TCM you need an active subscription to Tech Authority. Here a couple other interesting reads. I'm wondering if any CAN ODBii device would work?? Last edited by BlackAce; at 08:08 PM. After speaking to Vector themselves, the only(!) way this Chrysler Diagnostic Application (CDA) tool will function (and it will function) is with a Vector-specific PCMCIA CANcard and one of their PCMCIA interface cables.
So to answer the question if typical USB to OBDII cables you can find here and there will work, the answer is a resounding no. The CDA tool using Vector embedded drivers will simply not recognize them. The actual CDA utility (the program), either v4.02 or v5.02 (I installed v5.02 successfully) that we all downloaded will only function with the required CANcard drivers that can be uploaded (for free) from Vector's website. So, in order to effectively use this tool you will need; (1) Vector 07100 CANcardXL PCMCIA card: $795.00USD (1) Vector 22049 251MAG cable (PCMCIA to DB-9): $230.00USD (1) DB-9 to OBDII cable wired for CAN buss protocol (build or buy preassembled) (1) download from Vector the specific CANcard XX drivers (free) In simple terms, if you do not have a type II (5.5mm width) PCMCIA slot in your hardware device, you're toast. It would be easy to build a DB-9 to OBDII cable for less than $10 as both are available dirt cheap (the wiring protocol for CAN is pins 2 and 7): OBDII cables - unterminated (DB-9's with solder cups are a dime a dozen): Or, here's one (of many I'm sure) already properly terminated: Although Vector offers a slightly less expensive USB to DB-9 network interface system the CDA tool versions kindly given to us (v4.02 / v5.02) are too old. We would need at least 6.xx for this interface system that goes from USB to the interface box, which then breaks out into two DB-9 transceivers that require the same DB-9 to OBDII cable needed above.

If it came down to it, I do have a couple of old IBM A31 ThinkPads around here with PCMCIA slots and Windows XP. I'm thinking the key here for someone looking to do it on the cheap is one of the bootleg Vector devices OP mentioned being on Alibaba. The tough part is knowing which one is 'real' (real being a relative term.) Guessing could get expensive quick, and may leave you better off just buying the genuine one.

It means having a dedicated garage desktop with long cables but it's doable. Don't have a price on the card, were they mentioned to you?
