sorry for wrong subject because I have got USB one.
So if I have got ELM 327 I do not need vag com KKL?
Because I bought as well adaptors from Gendan (red,yellow,green)

The HEX-USB+CAN can't be used as a KKL - it is recognised as a USB device by Windows as Ross-Tech use their own drivers. The KKL interfaces appear to Windows as a USB serial convertor, allowing software like FES to address them as a COM port.

Whether you need a KKL aswell as an ELM will depend on the vehicles you're covering - some modules require the ELM, others require the KKL - see the supported vehicles list.
