Best USB adapter for Xentry
I installed Xentry Passthru successfully but now I'm trying to figure out the best way to connect to the car without a multiplexer like the C4 or C5.
I see Tactrix mentioned here and there. Is there anything else out there that's reliable?

Searching the forums looks like most people are using a TACTRIX clone. I order one from AliExpress and waiting for delivery. Which version did you install for Xentry Pass-Thru 03.2020?

A little too late for me, ordered a while back, it is supposed to arrive any day now. I thought I had read on this forum and others that clone was working fine. Anyways, if it does not that I will get the original. Does the clone does not totally work or a certain function (s) cannot be done? Perhaps "benzbenzbenz69" can follow your advice as you are one of the Xentry experts on this forum, as I rescind my recommendation on the clone.
Another related topic, Is Xentry Pass-thru supposed to be run in an offline internet mode? Are add-ons required for its efficient operation? I have been reading on it as I don't have the adapter yet and looking for a cheap laptop I5 8GB laptop.
