My DIS/INPA/SSS/CARSOFT/NAVCODER Interface.

Hi, I have an question, I have the FT232RL modified and flashed already, but DIS & Progman still doesnt work only INPA partially works

That's why i made some video tutorials

Your issue is solved on video number 7

[HyphyMovementZ]

+1 tyvm

Tried it twice with video 7 still doesn't detect

[HyphyMovementZ]

Anyone have any idea or way they can help me, it detects the cable bit not the car

[PitrekT]

Did you modify EDIBAS.ini to work with DIS?

[HyphyMovementZ]

The interface, ip & port? Yes I did

[PitrekT]

I meant changes in EDIBAS.ini regrading port and ip address.
You write that cable is detected but car no.If you are using 20-pin adapter without ignition sensing DIS will not recognize car automaticcally.Similiar thing is for SS that ignition must be present.

[HyphyMovementZ]

How do I have it sense ignition may I ask?

[PitrekT]

Check out if INPA shows black dot "ignition" after connecting to the car with switched ignition on.When you have it , ignition sensing works.

Dude, tell me how you use NAVCODER Interface.? I have a Mongoose FCM, he USB, and uses the COM port NAVCODER Interface?

Yes INPA, shows the black dots

I have a Blue VAG cable with " fl232bl Chip " and is modified for battery and ignition. I need help getting INPA running on a "Virtual Machine" VMware. I have changed the com port to com 1 and installed the driver. When I connect the cable to my "E66" 2003 745li I get nothing. I open INPA and the battery and ignition detection stays blank. Can Someone explain to me what I am doing wrong. I have searched this thread up and down and and it seems that there is a ton of info on the Vag cable with FL232RL chip but not the FL232BL chip. ANy help would be greatly aprreciated, thanks..

seems like the cable driver is not recognized correctly

Hey Guys,

I was wondering, when i do this mods to my interface, can i still use it for other cars then BMW?

Thanx

[PitrekT]

Yes INPA, shows the black dots

Well, it seems everything is fine with ignition and battery sensing. Can you desrcribe what errors you have and what you mean "INPA partially works"?

Dude, tell me how you use NAVCODER Interface.? I have a Mongoose FCM, he USB, and uses the COM port NAVCODER Interface?

You need interface dedicated to NAVCODER.

I'm stiil using modfided interface to VW car.

[jantje]

Thanx, Can you tell me wich mod you did? The FT323BL, the FT232RL softwaremod/pins 7&8, or the FT232RL real ignition?

As far as i know, vag doesn't use pin 8, so that shouldn't be a problem?

but for the software changes, when changing the IO settings and inverts, vag-com still works?

[PitrekT]

Mod was done for FT232BL with 7&8 pin bridged and ignition sensing (PIN 1).I didn't do any software modifications.All works fine with VW GOLF MK3

There is no way to make it work?

[PitrekT]

I have not used Mongoose interface so I cannot tell if there is way to make it work.
Anyway interface for NAvcoder is very easy to build

Hey guys,
I'm trying to figure out real ignition detection for the FT232RL interface. I joined pins 7-8 and added the proper transistor and resistors which are soldered to be in contact with the appropriate pins (including DSR). I did the software mod as described using Mprog. When I open INPA I still get two solid black dots even when the ignition is off. I'm assuming when this "real ignition" detection is working, the dot for ignition will only show when the ignition is actually on. Am I right?
Has anyone else successfully modded the 232RL for real ignition detect?
Any help would be super!

THanks

Re-read instructos bro. You are right, that is how it works, but if you do the transistor mod you DON'T mod the programming w Mprog. Mprog is the WORKAROUND if you can't/haven't done the hardware mod. That's why you always get black dots - Mprog programming 'hotwires' the chip to set those lines on all the time.

[nkautz1]

Ok, I'll set the chip settings back to default with Mprog and try that.

Thank you for the input, man.

By the way, how did you know that? Is it in this thread somewhere?

I just know all the sh1t man.



Yeah srsly its in a few places in various threads about making VAG-COM cables work... I think several places in this thread people point out "if you've done the hardware reset the software mod and don't invert signals"...

Basically the short story that should be listed right at the top of the posts about actual hardware mods is:
1. The software mod is just to fake it & that works for most stuff.
2. You can hardware mod to really get it to work properly but then remove the software mod or it will be overridden by the programming...

[nkautz1]

Sweet. You're the man.
Do you know if it's still necessary to short pin 7-8 for real ignition on the RL?

yes you always need to bridge 7/8, regardless of which way you go.
