Hi,

Theoretically yes, but the "dummy mode" must be activated on the diagnostic cable, and then the appropriate driver must be installed (see technical article).
Tested with current software/firmware: no.

"Edit: I just noticed that the link was to a kit, and I thought it was about the professional system. The kit should work as is, but it's now considered one of our 'historical products' (meaning the hardware is no longer available)."
The cable needs to be connected to the pin that is linked to pin 7 of the OBD2 side when using the 2x2 configuration.

Best regards, Rainer.

Is this compatible with the current version and firmware?
Webasto tool, works perfectly with a small adapter cable.
After switching to the 'Start' option in the settings.
Tested on a TT-P and what I believe is a BW 50 (or possibly a G3).

Which pin was the yellow Webasto diagnostic cable connected to in the OBD socket?

I would like to try connecting the yellow Webasto diagnostic cable to the connector on the control unit side.

@vagtuning: Great, thank you for the feedback!

"@T3Surfer: I'm not sure which car you're referring to, but if the L-line (pin 15) is free on your connector in the car, it should be possible to simply connect it there."

Best regards, Rainer.

Oops, it's about the Seat Toledo with the ARL engine!
Okay, I'll try connecting pin 15 this weekend, if my schedule allows, and of course, I'll install the software and dummy beforehand! I'm curious to see if it works.

It works with the dummy. Thank you, Rainer, for this video, even though the video quality is not great icon_smile.gif. If there were only audio, I wouldn't get anything out of it, because I am deaf icon_lol.gif.

I connected a yellow STH diagnostic cable to pin 15 of the FZ diagnostic connector for testing; this pin was previously unconnected. It works perfectly with the Webasto WTT2002, version 2.09!

If you want to use the VCDS software frequently, don't forget to reinstall the USB driver!

Reopening an old topic; Since I'm looking for the dummy driver, and this is what came up.
I need the USB dummy driver to run the Weba software, but I can't find it. icon_cry.gif Unfortunately, I can't remember where I got it from before. icon_evil.gif

Hello Kai,

The driver for the virtual serial port is located in the customer account.

Best regards, Rainer.

Hello,
I also need to revisit that older topic again.


I have an original VCDS cable with an RS232 connector, and I'm currently building an OBD adapter to read data from my Thermo TOP C auxiliary heater.


I only connected these 3 cables: +12V, ground, and the L-line to the yellow diagnostic cable. Does my connection look correct so far? Or should the yellow diagnostic cable be connected to pin 7 of the K-line?


OBD.

Pin 4 = Ground.
Pin 15 = L-Line => PIN2 (yellow diagnostic cable of the ThermoTop C).
Pin 16 = +12V



Best regards,

Hello,

That's okay, we can do it that way.

Best regards, Rainer.

Hello,
I tried it out today. I couldn't establish a connection with either the L-Line or the K-Line.

I have a serial VCDS cable. The Intel boot mode is disabled!


I have the Webasto test software version 2.12 installed, and I've configured the COM port. I tried selecting "Thermo Top C" directly once, and also running the entire process once. However, I was unable to establish a connection.

The auxiliary heater was also on. To activate it, I bypassed the black and red wires (which normally connect to the timer).

Because I don't have a timer yet.


Do you have any other suggestions for what I could do?



Best regards,

Is the LED on the diagnostic system green? Please check the K-line and L-line using the "Test" function in the VCDS program settings.

Best regards, Rainer.

The LED on the diagnostic connector does not light up when using the VCDS cable.

If I use a cheap OBD cable from eBay (serial), the LED on the eBay connector lights up. Unfortunately, this doesn't happen with the VCDS connector.

I also downloaded the tool called "Test-OK-Adapter," and it indicates that I am connected to COM3.


Where can I check the K-line or L-line in VCDS? Or are you referring to testing the port?



Best regards,

With the VCDS cable, the LED on the diagnostic connector does not light up at all.

Then the mass and the 12V are not connected yet. icon_wink.gif

In the shop, you'll find a picture of the diagnostic connector showing which pins are connected (a top-down view from the front).

It is connected with 12V, and I also use my custom interface to read data from the AI at my desk. icon_smile.gif

Okay, so the green light isn't illuminated on the VCDS connector, but the VCDS port check says "Connection status OK."

I'm using an external 230V to 12V adapter, but it probably shouldn't be the issue.


Best regards,


Matze.
