Default be careful. there not always as functional as real com ports...

I have had several problems with that at work and I have yet to get a vag-com working over an usb-serial converter.

Default Is the usb hex-can truly usb or just com simulation over usb?

If you bought it with the usb converter built in, they probably gave you a compatible tool with the right drivers. If you do the conversion on your own, you might end up pulling your hair out trying to figure out why it wouldn't work.

The USB-HEX-CAN cable is a true USB device and no com simmulation is performed in the drivers

Then it'd be worth buying in the future.
