It think You missed the part in the Info or Read ME pdf file about STC.
You have there on pcb IC8 - STC, so you need to cut the trace to R50 and after try again

ah, okay. i looked for an STC label on a chip, but the sucker is not labeled. ok first mistake solved. do i have to resolder the connection after flashing?

my problem is now, that i flashed die v2.ept and the cable wont be detected correctly (see attached screenshot of Mprog and windows device manager). cutting the r50 trace did not help here.
Mprog and ft_prog do not detect this device and i cannot reflash it.
is there a way to reflash it and which file is the right one (ftdi_mprog_BMBL.ept or ftdi_mprog_RLRQ.ept)?

1. After cutting trace to R50 no need to restore that line.
2. Your FTDI (near usb wires) is FT232RL ,so you need RLRQ ept file.

Now, go to Dev. Manager
select your usb device Hex V2...(first time when I see that name for a cable) Properties- dropdown menu Hard. IDs and write here what you see there.

In order to reflash ftdi you should do something with that yelow warning sign on your device hex v2... maybe forcing to instal driver again.

i will search for an driver and try to get rid of the warning sign.
Thanks so far!!

yeah!!!!!!


newest info:
i could reflash the FTDI chip and with the broken R50 Trace HWType.exe can read all data!!
To recover from the previous state i installed the ftdi USB Converter Driver (selected in the device list of windows driver installation wizard). this allows Mprog to find the device and reprogram it with the correct settings! --> Big thanks to alexm1! the STC hint did the magic!!

I used VAGCOM_EEWriteLang.exe to write the german Version. Everything works just fine with the v8 Loader and 18.9 DRV (v7 is not working).

Interface is found and license is valid!!

i already tested it in the car!!

Thanks for the help!

Thanks to all who managed to inform me the vcds cable is of no use. Will look at getting another cable with the atmega 162 chips etc.

Many thanks!

Guys

need little help about mileage check

When i have VCDS 15.7 the function "EDC 15 16 Mileage" works normaly.
However, at this newest versions (17.8-18.9) it isnt working anymore

Does anyone know something about it ?
Is something related to clone cable PCB or only software version ?

Did you tested on the same car with both versions and with one is ok and the other not?
Because not al ECU's supports this function.

TBH, this never worked for me and I considered this as crappy RT implementation (because other tools were able to retrieve this on same car).
Can you check with 17.1.3?

Hello Guys.
I have older interface 9.081.
Is any chance to upgrade it to newer version?

Yes, if the bootloader is locked you have pins for the programmer, version 0x44.

oops, remove.

Hello my friend. Is there any Chinese(ZHS) old version for download?

Hi guys,
As always, if something is not working anymore go to the world wide web. My VCDS 11.11 cable is not recognised by the Windows 7. I was working on my IQ in adaptation and of a sudden the program not responded, I tried closing it and it didn't even from task manager, then I shut down my laptop. After restart, the cable is not seen as a ross tech device, is unknown device- in VCDS interface is not found.
I red trough some pages here and I downloaded the contents and when I tried running the ..HWType.exe it says Interface not found! Is it dead for good? Or I am doing something wrong?
Thanks a bunch! EDIT : Pictures attached! The v regulator has been changed in the past and the version updated(by the vendor). Thanks!

Most likely FTDI died. If you really have read through some pages back, you most likely know that you must post pics to keep the discussion constructive, haven't you?
