Hi.
Sorry if this has been covered before,

What I am trying to do is a proxy alignment to stop the odometer flashing because I changed the electric window switch that broke down.

I have been looking at this for weeks now, I am trying to get FES working on an Alfa 147 Jtdm 16v (2005) but so far I can't make it happen.

I have a Bluetooth ELM 327 interface but I couldn't make it work so I bought other one because I read that some are not compatible with all car but still not working, now I have 2. I ended up giving up with Bluetooth adaptors and bought a KKL VAG usb.

I have installed the drivers and set up the COM port. Up to this point I think everything is good. When I go into FES and try to connect, keep saying:
CONNECTION FAILED you need ELM 327/ODBKey interface to connect to this module! Check your cable and serial port settings!
I am not sure what I am doing wrong. :irked:

I also read that connecting some of the pins together on the KKL connector can be modified to do other things like air bags but I didn't want to experiment with this and fry the ECU

A little help would be much appreciated :byebye:

Hi Mirlock, thanks for the answer.:thumbup: If I get the ELM usb Lead will i need the KKL at all?
This is the same cable that I already have but with the switch to connect different pins. If I only knew what pins this switch link together.

Just a little update on this, It WORKED!!:beer::beer:
With the ELM I bought from ebay, and the green cable I managed to do a Proxy Alignment and now the odometer is not flashing anymore.

Thank you all for the great help :thumbup:
