I've got an ELM327 interface which connects to the engine ecu fine on it's own, but I got the three (red, green, yellow) adaptors to connect to the abs, power steering, airbags and CAN network. I've learned that you need the vagcom or k-line interface for the airbags but I can't seem to connect to the dashboard or any of the CAN systems using the yellow (low speed can adaptor) adaptor. Is there something I'm missing? How do I connect to the CAN network using the ELM327 interface? I have a fellow forum member coming round at the weekend so that's what I need this for, if anyone can help me out I'd appreciate it, otherwise I'll be buying a vagcom interface.

Cheers folks

i dont believe you need the yellow adaptor for the stilo CAN. i *THINK* it can all be done through the slower VAG-COM interface.

just checked MultiECUScan site and for stilos it only lists A1&A2 cables which is the green and red

You need Registerd version of software for full access to software.

where did you get the ELM327 from? some dont work http://forum.multiecuscan.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=1493

Ah right I see, so I should be able to connect to the CAN with just the ELM?

I bought it off eBay back in Febuary, tried checking my purchase history but can't find it :bang:

Oh well I'm going to have to try this ELM in the other folks car and see if it works and if not we'll need to try again and I'll buy a vagcom interface

Would this one be alright:

After reading your link Dave I think that's what's up with mine, still - a lot of these obd2 cables are cheap so I don't know if I'm getting something decent :/ If someone can post up what and where they got theirs from that would be good

ELM should work
MES site lists both CAN Info and CAN Setup / PROXI Alignment Procedure as accessible from ELM and OBDKey for info and adjustment... hows your baud settings?

I have it set at 38400, but I've tried connecting at every baud rate and still nothing happens :s

whats latency set at?

How do you change the latency? I only have one option - in the settings; interface tab, under the "test" button there is a number (pre set 38400 for ELM). Is that the latency? I thought it was the baud rate :s

How do check the latency, I notice an option for "high latency mode"
