Well I have had 3 blue ones and I can't get any software (NefMoto) to recognize them.

Galletto won't work? I thought that was the sure fire cable that would work?

When I had trouble connecting with NefMoto the log shows that the cable chip could not be read.
Driver trouble?
Uninstall + reinstall drivers and NefMoto...

IF your log file looks anything like this, then the inability to "read ftdi device chip" is because of the type of chip (FT232/245BM), and is not preventing Nefmoto from using the cable or communicating with the ECU...

You have another issue. Does nefmoto detect the cable? Sounds like the drivers you're using are bad. Have you tried manually installing them, not letting windows do it?

Yeah, I have tried the galletto drivers that were posted up here: http://nefariousmotorsports.com/forum/index.php?topic=3088.0title=  This last time it said it was the wrong device and wouldn't install the divers.

I also tried the drivers that I was sent with one of those bootleg vag com cables, received the same issue on that fact that the device was wrong. Link: http://www.upzone.com/downloads/summary/5-drivers/680-the-driver-of-opel-immo-airbag-reader-airbag-scanner-q00632.html

The last cable I just got, no NefMoto say it can't find a device.  The one cable that did slightly work, programmed it, and NefMoto recognized the cable, but had issues reading the ECU (it has been a bit I could go try again and get specifics, but it looked like the same issue a guy in this thread had.)

Granted I did get this ECU out of a A4 Audi in a junk yard, so that might be part of the issue.

I have the same issue like you friends. I receive KKL interface with WCH CH340T USB-Serial IC inside. It is well documented around the net that this USB-Serial IC have a poor performance and it is highly unstable specially for critical tasks like flashing / programming. Apparently the problem is that the output levels are different from the RS232 standard.
You can check it here:
http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=35435 ,
http://forums.adafruit.com/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=35933 .

Also looking for a better interface I found something well priced but with far superior design and quality chips inside.
What do you think friends --> http://www.obd2-shop.eu/kl901obdusbkkldiagnosticinterface-p-230.html .
It not only uses the FT232RL programable USB-RS232 serial converter, it also uses a dedicated ISO9141 IC, the L9647 instead LM339 or LM393 comparators, improving it stability and speed.

I recently purchased this cable:  http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008HO23OC/

And it has FT232RL and LM339 chips, if anyone is interested.

I'd like to know this as well - I have VCDS lite and can connect to my ECU using NefMoto without issue but wish to use my KKL cable with VAGCAN & VAGTACHO cant seem to flash my FTDI 232BL cable with MProg.

Also, Ross-Tech states that the HEX-CAN-USB only works with VCDS because it does not support COM ports. The NefMoto software communicates with the USB chip via the FTDI SDK and does not require COM port support, and so it works great with the HEX-CAN-USB.

Does this also mean that you do not need to install the virtual COM port drivers? I am having similar problems to other users with my genuine HEX-CAN-USB cable, there is no echo from the FTDI chip:

LOG: Opened NefMoto VW Audi ME7 ECU Flasher BETA 1.9.1.2

Incidentally, I have also tried installing the VCP drivers to see if that was the problem. My lead was still able to communicate with the ECM via VCDS but I still had no joy with NefMoto. Same error as above.

Can Anyone confirm this? I have been buying off ebay for ones listed with FT232 but been striking out.

Brax, the seller doesn't seem to have any more for sale. I was looking for his auction.
