Cheap but effective
By Brian Bechtold
I ordered this to communicate with my late model Triumph motorcycle ECU. This is the same model as is sold on eBay from various Chinese retailers but I chose Amazon because of the improved return policy over eBay sellers. The item is fulfilled by Amazon which means I received it promptly and in secure packaging.
While the picture shows a translucent blue device, the one I received is solid black plastic, I can only assume this is due to variations in suppliers or manufacturing.
It worked on my first attempt to connect using the free TuneECU software (when using the recommended FTDI drivers not the ones supplied with the device). What can I say more than that? I haven't tested it with a hundred different vehicles, but I do know for my one application it worked perfectly on my first attempt.
EDIT: To those wishing to purchase this who are dissuaded by the negative reviews, please note: This does NOT come with any software. In fact, the driver CD it does come with is worthless. Just download the correct drivers from the internet (FTDI Serial-USB OBD drivers[...] which are direct from the manufacturer. You will still need some sort of software to interface with your car. Do a quick Google search and I can guarantee you'll find something.
Seriously, don't rate something down because you can't figure out how to use it.

Awesome price/performance!!!
By N. Pavlov
The quality of the cable is mediocre, but you are paying less than you'd pay for a burger in Manhattan.
I installed the included Vag-Com software on an old laptop that runs Windows XP. Then I connected the cable to my laptop and installed the driver. Windows updated the driver through Windows Update. Then I went into device manager, then Ports, and configured the USB to COM device to use COM 1 (it must be b/n 1 & 4, mine was 6 by default so I had to change it).
Once you connect the laptop to the car, make sure you start, otherwise, the dongle won't work. That's about it folks.
My mechanic wants $40 every time he resets my car. I had to change the glow plugs of my Jetta TDI, the mechanic wanted $85/glow plug. I bought all 4 for $50. Changed them in 10 minutes, then reset the computer, and I was done. Saved myself $300...

Does everything I need it to.
By Adam H
I ordered this cable to interface to my 1999 Triumph Sprint ST motorcycle. I used the excellent (and free) TuneECU software, and after installing the FTDI driver as instructed on the TuneECU website, I was immediately able to download and upload maps to the engine computer, view the different sensor outputs, and even run some diagnostics.
The only thing that was different from the description was that the cable I received was all black instead of a catchy translucent blue. I could care less, the cable works great.
