VCM - Crash during fw update - no serial and ftp

**acid1983** · 14th October, 2012, 01:22 PM

again needs help ...

Because the firewall is enabled the system broke the connection during the software update.

symptoms:
- It connects with the car but do not work immo advanced features (VCM cant see ingniton).
- The options do not show the serial number and version fw.
- I can't connect to the ftp VCM
- firmware software not update between ids versions even after the change to JLR

I did
Installing older versions and newer ids for Ford / LR. Every time the cable connects to the car without updating fw
ClearVCMUltil - Goes procedure without errors but it does not change anything.

please help

You'll need a pda to flash it then..Never needed a pda myself though.

IS anybody knows how to connect usb cable from pda directly to VCM Pcb ?
Board of my vcm look like it is impossible to connect via ext connector .....

PDS installed on my Asus and tried to connect to the ISP1362 (OTG_DP1, OTG_DM1). Always I don/t have communication. As I wrote earlier in my VCM to external connector goes only LAN lines so I think if buy a cable from ebay this also not solve my problem.
