HEX-NET Generic OBD-II Screen/OBD-II Fast Init

First of all thank you for the great product; I've been enjoying using it on my A3! I apologize for asking about an unsupported feature, but I was trying to use my hex-net (via usb) as a generic ODB-II scanner on a 2010 Civic and was a bit surprised that VCDS 20.4 reported this vehicle as not being OBD compatible. After searching here I tried to do some troubleshooting with the "Bypass OBD-II Fast Init" setting, but that is greyed out for me. I couldn't find any reference to it being disabled here or in the release notes, so I thought I would check in to see if this is a PEBCAK issue, not available on the hex-net, or something else?

Thank you for any clarification you can provide!

A 2010 Honda that was made for the US market would have to do generic OBD-II via ISO-15765 (CAN). "Fast Init" should not be relevant on this car, because that's a K-Line thing, and I believe the reason it's grayed out is because HEX-NET doesn't support Fast Init on K-line.

As to why the HEX-NET isn't communicating with that car on CAN, I do not know. In principle, it should. I'll move this to HEX-NET support where Shaun is more likely to see it. Perhaps he'll have some ideas or debug instructions for you.

Thank you for the information and the quick response!

What does VCDS-Mobile show if you try OBDII mode?

Thanks for the tip; everything is working now!

I had updated the firmware via usb and checked a few times/power cycled to ensure it said everything was up to date, but when I logged into the web interface right now it said an update was available. After installing this update, both VCDS-Mobile AND VCDS-cabled can now talk to the car via OBDII. Unless you pushed a firmware update today, I'll make sure to do my updates via the web interface in the future.

Thanks again!

I did push an update, so it was probably that.
