CASCADE

CASCADE, the "Car Scanner Device Emulator", allows you to use the same diagnostic software that runs on high-end "Hi-Scan Pro" and "Carman Scan I" car scanners to diagnose your car, with only your PC or notebook computer and a very affordable generic USB diagnostic interface. This way, you can save the money you would spend on diagnosing your car and you can invest it in actual repairs.
What interfaces are supported?
CASCADE supports K/L and K+CAN 1.4 interfaces with an FTDI serial-to-USB converter chip. Examples are:
· "OBDII USB Car Diagnostic Cable
· "Blue"
· "K+CAN1.4 USB Car Diagnostic Cable"

What vehicles can be diagnosed?
CASCADE generally supports all vehicles allowing diagnosis via K/L or CAN bus. The support for specific models depends on the diagnostic software being used.
The Hi-Scan Pro software releases support Hyundai or Kia vehicles sold on the American market from model year 1990 up to about 2007; for Carman Scan I software, the manufacturer provides a vehicle coverage list; it supports virtually all makes and models of vehicles, up to about model year 2010.System requirementsSupported USB K/L or K+CAN interface with FTDI controller
