VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

Is it safe to use VCDS 18.9.1 with Kolimer 7.2? Test with 12 V and GND on OBD without being connected to CAN went fine.

There are 2x 18.9.1 (ENG) released this year. Last doesn't let to connect to Engine with CAN.
It's safe. How not safe can it be?

Hey techys!
I have '08 Audi Q7. It had a lot of issues. Long story short. Car came from auction. Missing many many modules for MMI
Bought missing modules. Now I got system protection at telephone(Bluetooth) module, mmi interface module(head unit),
and amplifier(sound system). MMI screen finally lights up but there is no sound. Somehow I have to connect all these modules
to this one car. What are my options? Only odis? What about avdi/abrites? I thought about doing it through j2534 box buying subsriction
but they only sell it for 1 year.
All opinions are welcome!

So I just had some help from my college who has vvdi prog and vvdi he was able to take protections off.

Whether it will not brick the ATMEGA cable. Do you know, where the version of 18.9.1 which is able to connect to Engine using CAN can be downloaded?

... the version of 18.9.1 which is able to connect to Engine using CAN can be downloaded?

I checked the SHA of the 19.8.1 versions.

c9da064c588913c9773f6306d9bb03f9dced1108 << BASi77's link
e247ce66ec07b69ccd3b52802745e05870f62947 << Current version on the official site

Is it means that the BASi77 shared the first release what works well, and the current (second) version of 18.9.1 is $h!t (cannot connect to the engine)?

Definitely different unpacked exe, I am going to publish unpacked release 1 exe, so you can compare. So far different OEP and about 32 bytes more data in .rdata section in release 2.

There was one senior member who had many modules (5+ for sure but I think it was even 10+) in his bench setup.
Does anybody remember who is he?
Or if you hear me, can you contact me please?

Thanks.

Hi everyone,

I would like to get my first VCDS tool but I have some doubts. I've checked replies here and most people suggest obc2cartool's website.

Should I get one of these:

1. https://www.obd2cartool.com/atmega-v...43ntkn3nen2sn3 (+ $3.00 for VCDS 18.9)

2. https://www.obd2cartool.com/atm-vag-...43ntkn3nen2sn3 ( + $1.67 for VCDS 18.9)

3. Or something different entirely?

Thank you!

Check again couple pages back, there was similar question what to choose. Besides no need to pay extra for 18.9

Hello, is it possible this (VAG 178, HEX+CAN) cable to repair?51078267_1238210716335425_6131464851861536768_n.jpg51531032_501653263692936_2760963281773395968_n.jpg

Hello, it's possible to repair every cable.
Depends if you can find what's wrong with it and does it cost less than buying another cable.
