    Just bought Chinese adapter 9998555 with ptt/vcads but it was missing the main cable Deutsch 9 pin ( J1939 ) to DB15 male cable to connect truck to adapter so I bought it of the internet..
    when I connect it all together vcads cant find my truck.. the scanning proces disappears after around 10% and nothing happens no message no nothing so my question is:

    what is wrong?
    Can it be the cable I bought since it was just Deutsch 9 to BD15 cable not some special heavy duty J1939 to DB15 cable - despite the name arent they the same ??

    Just want to mention Cable I bought was $35 and "special" heavy duty truck interface J1939 cable is around $200

    Any opinion will be greatly appreciated since I spent so much money for the scanner and cant get it working

    interface is the same I think just different programs.. Vcads is for Volvo engines and insite for Cummins I think :)

    [h=2]9998555 IS NOT RP1210A, so it cant be used with Insite.[/h]
    it is very simple K-line and J1587 to COM (RS232) converter. It was designed for Volvo Tool box (used from early 90-s to '98). VCADS appeared in '97 and VCADS pro can be used with any RP1210 atapter but with later trucks. Really I know how to use Nexiq for example with '94 Volvo FH12, but it is some magic)))))

    I have been looking at those tuners. can you read only or can you write new tunes? I am somewhat familiar with tunning, I use HP tuners on my truck and cars. If only there could be an adapter lol
