Hi there!
I've a little problem with my ADS interface. It's an serial cable as you know, but I don't have an serial adapter on my laptop only on my PC. So... I would like to convert the cable to usb. How can I fix this? Anyone has a diagram to build some circuit for it? Or any ideas how can I convert this ADS interface to usb port?
Thanks a lot!

ADS will not work without a true serial port.
The second question is why do you need ADS? Most modules will work with a K+DCAN and 20-pin adapter. What won't work is KOMBI and ABS/ASC+T if equipped. If plain ABS without traction control, K+DCAN will work.

Didn't you expience that plain ABS module was a but of a hit 'n miss whether or not you could read them with just K-line?
ADS is needed for:
Kombi (aka gauge cluster)
ASC+T/ABS (and *some* ABS units)
FFB (remote control module, not applicable to US)
CVM (vert roof module)
OBC
URRS sensor (rollover bars on verts)
Since I have every possible module on my car, except DDE/EGS, I can say that with just K-line on my 1998 M3 I can get into:
DME
GM (ZKE)
SMG
ABS
PDC (parking sensors)
GR2 (cruise control)
IHKA
SRS (airbag)
EWS

As people have said above ADS won't work over USB but you might not need ADS to get what you want.
Having said this, since you have ADS working already it would pay to see if you can get a docking station from CL or eBay for you laptop - if the docking station (or port replicator/extender) has a real serial port then that'll work. I do this as my laptop also doesn't have a serial port but my docking station does. Slightly less portable but it works and I got my docking station for $10.
