Xentry with no Pass Thru
New guy here. I have Zentry 12/2022 version loaded and working on a newer Dell with Win 10 Pro. Now I need to be able to connect to the OBD2 connector. Can I connect without a pass thru device? Is there such a thing as connecting with a USB or Network cable type adapter? Thanks

Wish there was an easy to follow guide like for BMWs.

So did you buy Xentry openshell or Xentry passthru. Pasthru uses J2534 devices and Openshell uses specific multiplexers like C4, C6.
