Unable to get to configuration #2

So I've been playing with this some time and finally got my ST-Link to work and have flashed volvo_od2.bin to my canbus box. I have verified it has flashed. However the box does not function in the car and I have tried to connect TX/RX to pc using putty but I am just getting some scrambled messages which stop after a few lines at baud 9600. How can I troubleshoot? Is baud rate for putty 9600? Hope you can help point me in the right direction...

Hello, i have added information on configuring the adapter on the main page https://github.com/smartgauges/canbox

Since the adapter supports several car models and protocols, the adapter must first be configured for a specific car. To configure, the adapter must be connected to the Rx and TX lines at 38400 speed using any terminal program (putty, hyperterminal, minicom ...) Changing the configuration of the adapter is possible in debug mode. Switching to debug mode occurs when you press the corresponding keys on the keyboard:
