OP-COM SOFTWARE REQUEST

**Tassoss** · 24th December, 2023, 02:31 PM

Hi friends
I'm new here. I come from Greece.
I have a 2006 Opel Vectra C GTS 1,8.
I try to understand about the OPCOM.
I can't find out which tool and what version, and site i can order to work on my car.
How can i know if the chip PIC18F458 and the other one .... is fake ?
Years ago, i worked well with the VAGS on VW and SEAT.
If anyone, please, can recommend me.

Return to post no. #18 page #2 posted by FANTOMEL. Look carefully at the photos and download the attachments.

Your car is old and you will most likely diagnose it even with the lower quality interface FW 1.99 (always a fake PIC) and SW Opcom China 08/2010 or Vauxcom 12xxxxx.

Currently, good quality Opcoms have FW 1.95 on Aliexpress. But buying from the Chinese is like a lottery.

You can also spend a lot more money and buy an Opcom HQ CLONE from SKLAD66 (around 90eur for me) which will work with the new Opcom SWs up to version 22xxxxxEN or DE.

You are "new" to the forum. Read the "rules" again.
FANTOMEL links work.

Good luck.

Thanks Marios.
Have a happy new year

I don't know if I'm doing something wrong but anonfiles.com seem to by disabled and all the other links are offline except one that asks for credit card info and I don't quite believe that one..

Thanks everyone for any advice and happy new year

Sziasztok, köszönöm a sok infót.

Yes, that's how it seems to me too. Have you already purchased an opcom?

Yes, I bought one most likely with fake chip(v1.99 firmware). I'll probably buy another one.

OK, I haven't bought one yet. I'm a bit confused as to which is real and which is fake.
however, I want to order one soon

Well man... Now we can officially say we're dumb

Yadi.sk link works and there's everything there

So I downloaded 2019 adv and restore ftdi fron there, installed and flashed my opcom and everything seems to work(will need to try in car too but everything says 1.67).

If anybody is interested I've got mine from here:
https://a.aliexpress.com/_mr74oo0
Option opcom 2021

Sorry to causing fatal facepalm to everyone in this thread.

Happy new year and many brain cells to everyone (mainly me)

I have the same OP-COM like you. Where did you download it? do you have a link?
