Lonsdor K518 KPROG2 Pinout to VOLVO XC90 CEM RENESAS M32C

Q: I want to read the Volvo XC90 CEM RENESAS M32C, but i cannot find the pin out of the Lonsdor K518ISEKPROG2. Can you send me the photos of the connection of the Kprog-2 adapter? This is the only one i found on official website.
lonsdor-k518-volvo-cem-renesas-1
Obdii365.com engineer solution:
You need to read CEM master data, 93c86 data and rearview mirror data for xc90.
use another programmer (i.e xprog) to read 93c86 data and rearview mirror data. use kprog 2 to read master data.
picture below shows how to wire.
lonsdor-k518-volvo-cem-renesas-2
(Click to enlarge)
instructions for picture 1:
note: cut off the power when wiring.
use needle 1 of the adapter to connect gnd
use needle 2 of the adapter to connect vcc
use needle 9 of the adapter to connect rxd
use needle 10 of the adapter to connect reset
use needle 11 of the adapter to connect txd
use needle 13 of the adapter to connect sclk
use needle 14 of the adapter to connect cnvss
use needle 15 of the adapter to connect busy
remove this chip when reading data. cut off the power supply and wire the chip back after reading data.
how to read master data with Kprog-2:
Lonsdor K518 → adapter → mcu → renesas → r32c/m16c/spi → read flash → read dataflash
