Hi guys!


I have this interface that works just fine on CAN, but not on K Line. It shows "K1: SHORT TO GROUND" even if I only apply 12V on the bench, so we can exclude any actual short in the car.


Any ideas what might cause this and how to fix?

@nextor, check for blown transistors, like T1, T2, T3 and T4.

Hi Kaalis. Thanks for the suggestion. I already received this suggestion in a private message and I checked the transistors: they are all OK. None of them is shorted or open.

Anything other thing that I could check?

Can you explain how to see if it is correctly written?
I did try with Mprog and got the following results (serial is correct), please see picture

Read the content of FTDI, save-it as .ept and post here.

IF your oem cable is REALY FA20, your FTDI must be FT232B. This haven't "ChipID".
But "no comunication" with Atmega can be:
1. FTDI defective or
2. Atmega content altered or
3 Atmega defective.

How todo udsm

Udsm in all Modes...this is for obb11 but same applies to vcds just dont need the tick boxs step depending on what car u have if u have selecteable mode like sport eco an individual u can code it to only be on in sport mode I have that codeing also required less adaptions but still need sercurity login

US Style Front Indicator Lights on all the time but flash when indicating

In some parts of the world this is not street legal and i am not sure how long the bulbs will last but anyway its good in that it does work.

So the instruction are:

Log on to the car.31347

1/ Select control unit 09 Central Electrics

First change left side

2/ Select Leuchte 0 BLK VL B36-Lichtfunktion C 0
3/ Change to Standlicht allgemein (Schlusslitch; Positionslicht; Begrenzungslicht) - Parking light in general (tail lamp, position light, marker light)
4/ Save with green tick and when asked enter security code 31347
5/ Select Dimmwert CD 0 and change to a number between 0 - 100 (100 being brightest) and tick green box
6/ Select Lichtfunktion E 0 and change to Blinken links Dunkelphase and tick green box
7/ Select Dimming Direction EF 0 and change to minimize and tick green box

Left side is now complete, go outside and look at your indicator.

Now on to the right side

8/ Select Leuchte1BLK VRB20
9/ Select Lichtfunktion C 1 and change to Standlicht allgemein (Schlusslitch; Positionslicht; Begrenzungslicht) - translation above
10/ Save the change using green tick and enter security code 31347 when asked.
11/ Select Dimmwert CD 1 and change to a number between 0 - 100 (100 being brightest) and tick green box
12/ Select Lichtfunktion E 0 and change to Blinken links Dunkelphase and tick green box
13/ Dimming Direction EF 0 and change to minimize then tick green box to save change

Some things don't add up. He said, his genuine was purchased less than 10 years ago.
Meanwhile, 232BL was used by R0$$ only like 14-16 years ago.
I have repaired an interface dating back to ~2008 ant it already contained FT232RQ, which is ChipID equipped.

Biggest issues would be two in his case:
1) ATmega content altered (small chance to repair) or chip itself defective to a point it's impossible to read information from it
2) FTDI dead.

Both of these mean that the cable is toast and can only be converted to a clone after repairs have been carried out.

Anyway, it's impossible to tell anything more without analysing/inspecting the cable

Hello,

After flashing 18.2 cable with flash and EEPROM and set Fuse , the cable can not be recognized by the Laptop "USB Device not recognized". i can not proceed with the Mprog as it can not detect the device.

any idea??

[hid3]

Maybe you broke off some USB wires off the PCB? Also, no pics of the interface, we can hardly make any useful comments

He said FA20. That made me think about FT232BL. Asked him read content of FT232 and post here-he didn't do.
If is RQ..problems.

I have resoldered all wires and tested the connectivity with Digital multimeter from the USB port to the FTDI chip. Please find pictures below
