I'm currently very stressed and unfortunately can't do anything right now, but I'll let you know as soon as I have any news.

Have a great weekend and greetings from Graz.

Peter.

Endlich, ich hatte Zeit es mit dem Olivetti Notebook, über COM1, zu testen. Aber es sind die selben Symptome geblieben

Es ist überhaupt nicht möglich, eine Verbindung zum Motor STG herzustellen. ABS STG, ZV STG, Climatronic STG lassen sich ansprechen, Schalttafeleinsatz und Motor STG schweigen sich aus. Ich möchte an diesem Adabter gar nicht viel rumbasteln, würde ihn gern gleich wieder verkaufen, allerdings müßte ich vorher wissen, wo ich einen funktionierenden her bekommen. IcI sincerely hope that you can help me with this, especially regarding the price-performance ratio

.

I suppose there's not much that can be changed about this adapter.

Greetings,

Peter.

Hi Peter,

In my opinion, you get the best value for money by building it yourself. You can find relevant information in the adapter article (and on the forum --> use the search function with the keyword "adapter").

You might end up with similar problems if you buy replacement parts, because you can't really inspect them beforehand.

Hello Ulf!

Klingt ja gut, aaaaaaaaaaaaber. Ich habe mir eure Beiträge zum Thema Adabter durchgelesen, nicht das ich keinen Plan vom Löten hätte, hab auch alles dafür, aber die Teile, wenns da einen nicht gibt, ich kann nicht beurteilen, welches vergleichbare Teil ich verwenden könnte, bin da bisserl eine Niete. Ich hätte auch wen, der mir billigst Platinen ätzen würde, aber welches endgültige Layout? Gibt es in diesem Forum nicht wen, der einfach einmal eine Serie Adabter produziert und die verkauft? Kann ich eigentlich etwas demolieren, wenn ich bei der Schaltung was verhaue? Zb. COM Port oder die Schnittstelle im Motor STG?? I have some concerns about it; I'd really rather not risk a disastrous repair.

You're welcome.

Peter.

Hi Peter,

Okay, for most parts, you can use something "similar" – except perhaps in Maik's adapter, where the logic IC and the MAX chip are specific components.

I believe Maik is sending his adapter, but I don't know if it will be a finished product or a kit.

Is it possible to damage something if I mess up the wiring? For example, could I damage the COM port or the interface in the engine control unit (ECU)?

I have some concerns about this; I don't want to risk a major repair.

That possibility cannot be ruled out entirely.
As long as any mistakes are made only on the car- or PC side, I don't think anything expensive will break (except possibly the adapter), because both interfaces are, to my knowledge, short-circuit resistant.

Things look different when there are current flows between the car and the computer – in that case, it can potentially become expensive, and one or both interfaces may be damaged.
On the other hand, adapters with galvanic isolation of the circuits (usually achieved through optocouplers) offer the relatively best protection. However, they cannot prevent solder bridges between the computer and car circuits.

Hello Ulf, hello everyone!

I sent an email to Maik, but I haven't received a response for some reason. Does anyone here have contact information for Maik? Maybe I can try reaching out through you.

Thank you very much.

Peter.

Hello!

Maik hat mich angemailt und mir diverse Möglichkeiten angeboten. Platine, Platine inkl. Teile oder fertig aufgebaut und getestet, mit oder ohne serielles Kabel. Also ein super Angebot. Thank you very much.

Hello everyone!

I have now tried all the possibilities

. Two different notebooks, one with Windows 2000 and one with Windows 98 SE, USB and RS232 connections, various serial cables, etc., etc. The problems are still there, see "community-Motor-Tips-Reparatur/Motor STG gesperrt! (17978) Wie löschen? "

I'm now almost certain that the adapter is quite a makeshift solution. I'm waiting for the adapter from "MAIK" and will then see what happens

. So that I can finally learn how to use VAG COM. If nothing else works, it's a bit annoying

.

Greetings, Peter.

The solution!

I received a replacement adapter, and it works quite well. Also, the adapter from Maik is working perfectly. I will now thoroughly test both of them.

Greetings,

Peter.
