FS: USB ALDL Interface

[antus]

Gareth can supply. Send a msg to order USB ALDLs.


Suitable for applications with ALDL available on pin 9 of an OBD port.

For Engine and 4L60E transmission logging, or realtime tuning on NVRAM equipped vehicles this includes:
VR to VY Commodores, except LS1 V8.

This cable is still good for limited body functionality on VY and VZ with LS1 or L98 V8 engines.

Design
The interface is the latest revision of VL400s design, which includes a genuine FTDI chip, signal filtering and regeneration.

The included USB cable includes a ferrite bead for maximum noise immunity (often required when being used near big sparks, such as boost applications or a misfiring engine).

In the kit
1x USB ALDL Cable
1x Shielded USB cable with ferrite bead.

Beware the clones
PCMHACKING.net products use only genuine components. Our ECM Comms boards use a genuine FTDI chip which works fine with the latest drivers. Clone FTDI chips are in circulation. See here for more information http://hackaday.com/2014/02/19/ft232rl-real-or-fake/

More information

Purchasing
USB ALDL Interfaces are $120 inc. postage and handling.

[Holden202T]

yep will plug into pretty much anything from VR onwards with the 16 pin ALDL plug under the dash.

Have these ALDL interface units been changed / upgraded / modded in any way since I bought mine in january 2014..
I don't have problems with mine though, just wondered, figured I'd ask..

[antus]

No, there has been no need, they still work well, plug n play up to latest win 10.

Hi, is this interface available in a 12 pin version?

thanks

[antus]

Sorry, no. Only the standard obd connector as pictured. You could install a different connector if you.have 8192baud aldl but im not aware of any applications it'd suit. This interface does not support the old 160baud protocol, as the bandwidth is too low to be useful for most people. Most would install the ecm comms interface and update the ecm software to gain 8192 baud comms via a usb connection with the older generation 808 ecm.

thanks, I have the 16176424 ECM - is the 12 pin port the wrong one? Apologies for asking stupid questions but I trying to get my head around exactly what I have as it appears the ECM has been retro fitted to my 1989 LT1 powered C1500. I am keen on the NVRAM upgrade but I am not sure if it will work as it appears the ALDL interface I require isn't compatible. Any further guidance is appreciated.

cheers

The '424 PCM has 8192 baud ALDL, but may be wired to a 12 pin connector in US vehicles vs. 16 pin in AU vehicles. With two connectors, an adaptor could be made. Gnd = pin 5 = pin A, Data = pin 9 = pin M.
