The CDA tool using Vector embedded drivers will simply not recognize them. A bit pricey for casual use but excellent information. 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. 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. 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. 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.
