VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

[Carlos_]

Hi people.

I have a cable that once powered with 12v the led starts blinking red. I?ve tried to reprogram ATMEGA with latest dump 11.11.0, the programming went fine with no errors whatsoever, but once the programming is complete, the led keeps blinking red.
BTW, the FTDI is an RL and the cable has GAL.
Any thoughts?
Thanks

For this tool as yours it is not enogh to just reflash Atmega
You need to reflash GAL too
Solder 2 wires from Atmega to GAL and one wire from FTDI to GAL
Reflash FTDI if you need and remove 4 components from PCB ( 2 X rezistors + 1 X tranzistor + 1 X STC )
For all this procedure you can find a tutorial right in this thread
Good luck

Or could be transistors on K lines (group of 4) under 9-10 pins of OBD2 connector..

Yes that's right or any short cut
But if you try to make a test on a car you have to see this
K1 - short to ground
Good luck

Thank you for your reply.

I believe this image is the schematics that you were reffering to.
I'll try to do what's on this image, but once done, how can I reprogram GAL?

Welcome. I have the FT232RL interface, I tried a number of safe combination flash, eeprom, and configuration ftdi, I can not run any version of vcds, possessed v10.6.5 pl. Please use the hint which files to revive equipment [en or en] because I read a lot of posts and I'm still "green"

mate
you have a very good kind of VCDS tool with FTDI RL
The only thisng you have to do it is to reflash Atmega with dump fro 10.6.5 Polish version and maybe the FTDI if you need to do this
But you cannot use the VCDS 10.6.5 Polish versions with your tool if you don't have a loader, becasue of FTDI 232 RL
Good luck


P.S> I haven't seen a Polish loader for this VCDS 10.6.5
but you can find for VCDS 11.11.0 English version

Can someone please tell me how to reprogram GAL please? I've searched all over this thread and I found no instructions how to do it.

Very easy sir
Unsolder the GAl
Use a good dump for it and a very good programmer for it too
I use Genius if you want to know but you have to use what programmer you want
Good luck

There isn't another way instead?

Like an homemade cable similar to the one in the tutorial to reprogram ATMEGA?

Thank you

As I know you can a home made cable a LPT one as the one you use for reflash Atmega but I never used and you are on your own
I allways use professional solution not homade one ( becasue many time the home made solution dosen't work and I spend time for nothing )
As you allready know "time is money"
Good luck

I understand.

But in my case, this is an hobby for me, not a business. So I'd rather make an homemade cable to save money and to practice my soldering skills
Thank you for your help

its called GALBlast not tryed by my self but seen on forum that some people use it.

[mattydr67]

Of course you can spend time and check your skills
You can try to use the GALBlast solution
It is your choice mate, I just told something from my experience adn my opinion
In the end it is your choice
Good luck
