If the chip of FTDI is destroyed physically, then I will give advice, not to connect a notebook to a network of 220 volts, during diagnostics.
If the chip of FTDI is destroyed by software.
And if you want to protect FTDI chip from reprogram of internal EEPROM. That is necessary in the RT-USB.inf file, to add or change record:
[FtdiBus.NT.HW.AddReg]
HKR, "ConfigData", 0x00010001,1
And reinstall driver.
Or to change(add) the appropriate value in the system registry.

In this chip are emulated more: FTDI, ATMEGA, MPC2515, GAL/ATF.
In the neighborhood of uC and Xtal 8MHz exist another chip, SOIC8 case. I don't see if is MPC2551, 2561 or TJa1050 or..another CI for CAN.
And, the quwstion is: what uC exist in new original HEX-V2 cables?
If is the same or again a big "Fssssss"
A person said me "First two times we wil show you how to make updates, after will make yourself".
Asked and person answered "update mean COPY-PASTE one or few files"
In my opinion, this seems to be like in "multilanguage solution.
But another person said: "No, you only use OEM installer"..
2 different opinions, not OK. But this is only discutions, i wait my "V2" arrive for make tests.

Hey there! This chip for CAN connection is..
As for the original V2.. On the website of HEX Microsystems.. http://www.hex.co.za/products/ You can find a photo of the PCB of original V2..
Indeed it uses ARM ST chip, you just can't see which one exactly.. Though it's definitely larger package that on the clone..

The original HEX-V2 enumerates as an HID device and does not require a special driver and for aliexpress ?HEX-V2?, it seems to me need a ftdi driver.
Hi all
I buy also from china clone VCDS Hex V2 version 17.1.3. Today recived it and start test. Connect it to my notebook with windows 10 x64 and to my car Seat exeo 2010. After connect and start diagnostic on my intrument start blink some icons and bip bip bip and saved in some modules more errors. Example in engine, abs, tyre pressure and other. Some i can delete but some can not and must use my old vcds 11.11.5
Before connect to car my car has no errors. After that i must use my old vcds to delete errors which was generate by VCDS Hex V2.
Please help.
That is not HEX V2.
See test results window.
Ok but why not working and generate in modules in my car errors ?
In test show Ross Tech Hex USB CAN
Look on video what is problem...

In test on K1 show info SHORT TO +12
But how find issue on PCB ?VCDS17.1.3.jpg

I have old interface on ATMEGA chip version VCDS 11.11.5 and all works OK and on K1 and K2 and CAN show info OK.

Could you copy the installation CD from the cable "HEX-V2" on ge.tt and post the link.
