Review on πŸ”Œ OHP INPA Cable FTDI FT232RL USB OBD2 for BMW Diagnostic Coding - K Line Support, Windows Compatible by Lex Ismael

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Legal FTDI chip! on Code Readers & Scan Tools

I ordered this to replace the fake K-Line cable I use for VCDS on my MK4 VW Jetta. The fake worked for VCDS but I couldn't get it to work with the Bosch Unisettings program to change some ECM settings. I keep getting the error "FTDI device not found" no matter what I try. This cable popped up and I tried it. Plugged it in and Windows 10 found it right away. I updated the drivers via Device Manager and voila! Unisettings recognized the cable and added it to my devices. This indicates that the chip is a real FTDI chip and not a cheap fake. Pleasantly pleased that the design is quite strong, and the cord is comfortable and flexible. Time will tell if it holds up, but so far it's working better than the fake I replaced it with.

Pros
  • Best in its niche
Cons
  • I will add later
