TOAF & Interface cables
As I understand it, TOAF plugs into the OBD port by the steering wheel.
The ODB connector is 16 ways. What pins are used by TOAF ? There are many types of ODB cables on eBay: ELM327 to USB. ODB to WiFi. ODB to Bluetooth. ODB to RS232 + MAX232. BMW 1.4.0 Scanner to USB. Et al. While I vaguely understand the differences, which one's work and what do they have that makes them suitable? The TOAF website appears to be written in PoChingLish and is unclear. |

That is an excellent price, I will order one now.
I see no mention of TOAF, Rover 75, MZTT or T4 So how do you know it works with TOAF? Is there some secret society of TOAFiosi that I have not heard about. As an engineer, my questions still stand. I note from http://www.hardwarebook.info/ODB-II that pin 8 is undefined. |

It will work, I've used a cheap KKL lead to play with TOAF, in fact if I could have laid my hand on the lead you could have had it for the price of postage. Brian |

Think they will both work, 100% will have to solder the pins. Most problems are software related, getting correct driver and COM port.

All VAG-COM 409.1 type cables need the pin 7-8 short to run TOAF.
