Best place to buy coding cable

-BEASTMW- · 02-04-2017, 01:13 AM

I need to buy a coding cable to have Bluetooth added, but I'm not sure where to buy. Are the cheap ones on eBay or Amazon okay or should I be spending more? If so, where?

Got this last month, it's coming from China so it took about a month.

I've gone eBay route 3 times and never been burned but that may be luck. I've never dropped more than $40.

This is all just a marketing thing + you're a vendor.

The link I posted does indeed have quality cables with the same green pcb.

Since you purchased 5 cables from 9 manufacturers why don't you guys post results for each manufacturer (reseller because everyone just buys from China). Describing their faults.

Also may I suggest you guys should set up a website to purchase your cables and services from instead of on the forums only.

How does the switched/non-switched come into play, with the Boost Monkey version???

You have to use software to switch between kcan and dcan, but is set to dcan (e9x) by default.
