I. Installation and License

1. Multiecucan installation

Multiecuscan is a Microsoft .NET application. It requires Microsoft .NET

Framework to be installed on your computer in order to use it. The Microsoft .NET

Framework is available for free and can be downloaded from www.microsoft.com .

Multiecuscan requires at least Microsoft .NET Framework 2.0 SP1 (version 3.5 also

works perfect).

Please note that if you are using Windows Vista or Windows 7 then the Microsoft

.NET Framework is most probably already installed on your computer.

Multiecuscan works on the following operating systems: Windows XP, Windows

Vista and Windows 7. It supports both the 32-bit and the 64-bit versions of

Windows.

In order to install Multiecuscan on your computer you need to download the

installation program from www.multiecuscan.net . Then you simply need to run

the installation file and follow the instructions on screen.

2. Interfaces

In order to use Multiecuscan software you need to have an interface which

connects your computer to the OBD port of the vehicle.

PLEASE NOTE that ALL interfaces have a COM port number. It is NOT only for the

old serial port interfaces. The USB and Bluetooth interfaces also have a COM port

number because they are recognized by Windows as a serial port. If you do not

see the interface listed in Windows’ Device Manager then you probably did not

install its drivers properly.

Multiecuscan is tested with and supports the following interfaces:

KL / VagCom 409 interfaces

This is the most basic type of interface. These interfaces are suitable mostly for

older vehicles. With this type of interface you can connect to most of the engine

control modules, most of the gearbox control modules, older ABS modules, older

power steering modules, older airbag modules and most of the XENON control

modules.

These interfaces do not support connection to the CAN network of the vehicle.

In order to connect to ABS, Airbag, Power Steering and XENON modules you

need to have an adapter cable, or you need to modify your interface.

The interface can be with either USB or Serial connection to the computer. In both

cases it is recognized by the computer as a serial port!

NOTE: You can check the following link to see what type of adapters/modification

you will need for your car: http://www.multiecuscan.net/SupportedVehiclesList.aspx

Installation Notes:

First, you need to install the serial port driver for the interface. The driver is

usually supplied with your interface. If you don’t have a driver then you can try to

download and install drivers from FTDI site.

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM20814_Setup.exe

After successful installation of the drivers you have to change the default

configuration of the installed serial port to make it work properly. Go to Windows'

Device Manager and Double-click on USB Serial Port (or right-click and select

Properties).

If you have a built-in serial port or PL2303 USB serial port you will need to lower

the buffers to minimum as shown on the next screenshot. Note that for PL2303

USB serial port you will need to modify some registry settings in order to make it

support 10400 bps.

Now, after changing these settings, you have to set the Interface Type to

K-Line/VAGCOM in the Settings window of Multiecuscan. You also have to set the

correct Serial port.

ELM 327 interfaces

This is a more advanced type of interface which supports multiple protocols. ELM

327 version 1.3 and newer is required for connection to the CAN network of the

vehicle.

PLEASE NOTE THAT THE VERSION MARKING ON THE CHINESE ELM 327

INTERFACES IS NOT THE SAME AS THE GENUINE ELM INTERFACES.

With this type of interface you can connect to all supported modules except for

most of the old Airbag modules and some old ABS and engine modules.

In order to connect to ABS, Airbag, Power Steering and XENON modules you

need to have an adapter cable, or you need to modify your interface.
