VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

[macwol01]

Can you check if the cable is recognised on another PC with VCDS installed ?

That way it will eliminate a cable fault or driver/install fault on first PC.

I will try that this evening, thanks!

Dear Kolimer, HID3 and all other coders,

As everyone is aware, the HEX-V2 interface that we use is just an improved HEX+CAN. R0$$ Tech released the original HEX-V2 to support newer cars and modules. Furthermore did they program a year checking mechanism in the VCDS software, which will tell you that you are using an old interface if you are trying to read a control module on a MY2019 car, although the interface can still read the module. In my opinion this is a sad move, as the old interface can still read out and code the module.

Today I installed VCDS 18.9.1 with VCDS Loader 7.2, hoping that maybe they enabled coding and adaptions for my car (MY2019 Superb), as my interface could still read the modules. But yet again the popup came, saying that my interface was too old. But suddenly I found a bypass around this year checking mechanism, which allowed me to do adaptations and coding on the desired module.

Apparently each time that you select a control module, he will read out the year of the car, so how did I bypass this?

1) Turn on the ignition (no running engine)
2) Read out all the control modules
3) Before selecting the desired control module, turn off the ignition and then select the desired module (don`t wait too long to select the module, as the electricity running through the modules is only for a short period now)
4) Normally he will read the desired module, and the adaptations and coding button will not be greyed out
5) Now you can turn the ignition back on and do your coding/adaptations (AT YOUR OWN RISK!)
6) If you want to go to another control module, please repeat step 3 till 5

I hope this procedure will work for you guys as it worked for me.

@Kolimer and @HID3
Maybe you could create a patch which disables this year checking mechanism?

Regards,
Dean

Do not worry, we are aware of this and this is already taken care of. This was quite unfair purely sales-driven move to make users think that their HEX+CANs are really incompatible in order to promote sales of the new gen expensive interfaces. Many owners who run workshops actually got caught by that and purchased/upgraded.

Funny enough how R0$$ guy made a lot of mistakes where Golf 6, Audi A3 8P and similar cars started getting popups about not suported vehicles
One member is already enjoying the improvements. Will you be the 2nd one?

hello i need info about this cable, do i have a good cable or not because some chip doesnt have information and dont see ftdi.
This is a cable from a seller on aliexpress send it with vcds 18.9 saying cant update and send it with different language like mine is english and french.
i have a cd with installer and loader on english and french but used my already installed vcds with kolimer 7.2 and cable

can i use it without risk or do i need to do some special search before like dump the flash with a usbasp before use it on a 2018 golf?

edit:

Elektrik1, before jumping to straight conclusion that some of your cables are really 0x46, better check them manually.

0x44: ATmega 34 and 35 pins are connected to GAL pins 5 and 4 accordingly and GAL pin 9 is connected to some pin on the FTDI (use multimeter in diode testing mode to confirm).
0x46: no connection from ATmega 34 and 35 pins exist to any pins of GAL and GAL pin 9 is NOT connected to FTDI and GAL pin 5 is connected to FTDI.

If you have anything between those two, then you have a cable-mutant

according to what say hid3, i have a 0X44 because i see atmega 34 and 35 connect to PALCE16V8 and pin 9 are connected to (unknow)ftdi pin 9.
i test this one with multimeter for affirm this

FW Version : 1.96
HW Version : 0x46
Identification : ROSSTECH
Bootloader : Enabled

i joined a progisp backup, i made with progisp before flash or change anything to the cable

this is the store where i buy the cable

If you paid for it more than 25-35usd then seller totally got you. You could have found a better fake v2 clone.
