Obd adapter

  • My experience with BWA Engine and Bosch MED 9 ECU:

    • OBD communication needs adapter because KTM changed CAN High and CAN Low Signal Pin (or you simply change the pins)
    • VCDS manufacturer communication --> works
    • VCDS EOBD/OBD II communication --> does not work (see screenshot from VCDS)
    • EOBD/OBD II communication via HHOBD Device --> does not work


    Questions:

    Is VCDS Manufacturer communication based ond KWP2000 Protcol?

    Which tool is necessary to unlock EOBD on MED9 BWA engine ECU?

  • Hi - so I managed to make this work on my 2008 XBow with CDL engine fairly simply.


    I bought an OBD extension cable from Amazon which had exposed wiring. After a bit of googling for the connector manufacturer/datasheet I managed to see how to extract the pins 3,11,6,and 14. I reinserted 3 and 11 into the place vacated by 6 and 14...and voila, one working OBD port!

    I bought an extension cable with two female jacks so that I would retain a 'normal' obd port too. Ultimately I am building taps for my Racelogic VBOX HD2 system to pick up CAN data (Revs, Throttle position, etc) and power.


    The OBD reader I used is a simple Carly one...but it works now. Managed to clear an EML code (thugh do need to figure out why P0501 is showing!)
