You are test your usb dongle in WIN XP, VISTA and W7? All windows write DONGLE NOT FOUND?

Right?

i had one for repair for customer. these are realy bad quality. must be the whorst pcb quality i've ever seen. even home made pcb looks better.

even if you got past the 'dongle'error it is no good. could not write any edc16

my original hacked tool can write med17 end edc17 over obd.
the clone could not make this.

so you are basicly stuck with a verry expensive edc15 readre/writer. ;-)

Although a crap tool as you say, could do with working just for the hell of it, any info on the fix ?? pm or open as to getting around the dongle ?? thanks in advance
