VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

[obd2cartool]

most vag cable version hw with ATMEGA + FTDI chips support reprogramming like vag 11.11.3, vag 16.8.4, one kind need active 16.8.3 only support english version ,vag 17.1.0 . other like use original software (not office cable) it is used NEC project, we test different FT232 chips, there is no obvious difference. and Thanks kolimer and other friends!!

[deluss]

The correct order to repair cabel is:
1. Write VCDS BL by USB and Mprog.
2. Next: File->Open Flash-> select Flash1.96_HW_0x44.hex
3.File->Open EEPROM-> select eepromavr.hex
4.Fuse Bits/Settings

This is correct order ?

It doesn't matter which operation's done first, ftdi or atmega, i have a habit to do atmega first.

[bibkare]

Tested new dump on BL interface and used .ept from liviudiaconu few posts above, works excellent, just be sure to use proper fuses (in my case it was v44) also tested on cheap RL version - the one without GAL and 7805, was able to do long coding, autoscan and everything. Excellent work Kolimer.

Can you write full manual for this...?with link for files share

[ni88l3r]

Hi guys,

finally I got my new cable of obd2cartool.com and it's working great!

I ordered it, because I thought I killed my old 10.6.4 cable by desoldering the chip U9 „ST 8S103F2P6“ and parts R50, R51 respectively by erasing the Eeprom (which is probably the case here).

As you can see in my post http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/99750-VAG-COM-VCDS-EVERYTHING?p=2927162&viewfull=1#post2927162 the cable identified as VID_0403 & PID_FA20.

But now the FTDI FT232BL identifies as VID_0403 & PID_6001 which is the "standard" PID I think.

My problem is that I can't write it anymore, it is recognized either as USB <--> Serial adapter (COM3) (with FTDI drivers) or as RT Cable (with modified rt-usb driver).
Mprog reads the device as blank, but when I try to write the Eeprom it says "Error reading device". Any other tools also can't write the chip.

Is the chip defect or is there a possibility to write the eeprom (e.g. with linux or I read that it is possible to do it with a "real" serial port, but I couldn't find a manual for this)?
If there is no way to write it, would it help to get a new FT232BL an replace it?

Appreciate your answers, thanks in advance!

[alexm1]

I had this problem a few months ago....I soldered back R50 and problem solved, actually I desoldered only STC(U9).

[ni88l3r]

Soldered R50 back in, still no luck, but thanks anyway.
Any possibility to program the ftdi directly?

Or should I just throw the cable in the bin, I finally jave a working cable

[uragan1987]

can somebody make full hd photos of an working device, that was flashed with kolimer files,

Need to desolder something like R50 ?

[bibkare]

@delussYou can remove or leave R50 it doesn't matter, only remove STC or break a pin like in kolimer's picture.

@ni88l3r you should check eeprom 93c46 or 93c56 whatever is on your pcb

[ni88l3r]

@ni88l3r you should check eeprom 93c46 or 93c56 whatever is on your pcb


It's a 93c46, but how should I check it?
A quick google search shows options to desolder it and read it with a programmer.
Any options to read it direct on the board?
I have the USBasp and an USB-TTL-Converter but I'm not deep into those things (Needed the USB-TTL-Converter for recovering a Seagate Barracuda HDD and followed a tutorial).

Edit: If it's not possible to read/program it with my tools - this should do the work? http://www.ebay.de/itm/51-Microcontroller-Programmer-USB-burner-support-AT89C52-24C02-93C46-SP200SE-/381844470039

Thank you!

[liviudiaconu]

3 methods:

1. read by MProg. If MProg = 0403/6001 ==> a. defective eeprom or FT232B or b. erased content of eeprom. try read by 2 or 3 method for see where is the problemm.
2. read directly on pcb with a external tool. Not always work. I preffer 3.
3. desolder and read/write. Attn, for WRITE correct content must have it, read from another good eeprom or from another source.

[ni88l3r]

Thanks @liviudiaconu!

I ordered a new FT232BL and 93c46 and will try them, when they are here from China.

[ireun]

Could you post a link to a cable with BL chip?

[ni88l3r]

Could you post a link to a cable with BL chip?

Why do you want one with BL? My BL is in an old cable from 2011, so I don't know if there are still any.

When you want a new go for the R, they don't cost much more than the crap ones. I got mine from obd2cartool.com (v17.1 - they have photos of the chips on their site).

I will get my 232BL and the 93C46 from this gadget http://s.aliexpress.com/VNvyER7N (will unsolder the chips).

Hope this helps!

[ivohi]

Having some hard time with my cable. Bought recommended interface 17.1 from obd2cartool. Tested with original software and it worked. Then flashed atmega with new 17.1.3 firmware (flash, eeprom, fuses) and now vcds test gives "self test failed" error. I'm using elnec smartprog2 programmer and maybe there are some parameters that need changing? Any suggestions what to try next?

[pablobonome]

Hi, what is the latest version available?
I have the vag-with 12.12
Can you upgrade?
Thanks

[KayLastOS]

Thanks Kolimer and @all. Successfully upgraded VAG118, tested and working.
One question... STC should be resolder on board? Thanks

[alexm1]

No, STC stay.s out.

Reprogram again but pay attention to fuse settings and proper flash for your hw (44 or 46)

[madmax666x]

Hello guys,

I am using this adapter from Aliexpress. Works with the official VCDS 17.1.3 but cannot do long coding (says coding accepted but it is not saved). I guess I cannot reprogram it since it does not seem to be atmega? Would using an older version or cracked version work?

Not sure did not find info either and the item was removed from Aliexpress (and the snapshot doesn't work either), but it said that it is compatible with 17.1.3, no updates possible but it is Internet safe, meaning it cannot be bricked and it indeed cannot, tried with Internet and the French version of VCDS (which says it is unlicensed) but the English version still work.

On the plastic casing it says "VAG 17"

[liviudiaconu]

Thank you.
Similary as NEC D79F... based cables, the firmware are modified. And the command "burn eeprom" cannot do what must do.
So, this cables work without damage.

What you wrote is OK, real, but my question is "what uController is mounted on PCB?"

Either way it does not look like it can be re-flashed. It works well but long coding doesn't work and I need it just for that :/

Is there a cheap source of CAN compatible dongle that supports long coding (for a 2005 VW). I only intent to use it once so the cheaper the better

======================

Guys, now on Aliexpress you can find HEX v2 version of VCDS. This will be somewhat of a review of this cable..:

It looks exactly like the original version, the cable is detachable and has to lock screw in it. Overall it looks very high quality. But the look is not all.

I've connected this cable to my PC. No updates, no internet connected, just like it should be. I've used software provided on the CD.. In the test tab it looked like this:

https://i.imgur.com/hgiIzuE.png

Not good, Atmega cables always showed 'OK' on the Kx lines..

Well I thought this will look different if it was connected to a car.. So I went to do some testing..

I've connected it. and status was all 'OK' except of CAN, which is not available in my car.

I've connected to the '01 Engine' module, no problem. Than I wanted to do 'Auto Scan' I've selected my car, it checked module 01, and that's all it successfully checked. I've done another test..

https://i.imgur.com/XljmrTf.png

Not quite what it should be, again..

I've reconnected the cable, same thing. No matter what. I've tried ignition of and off, engine on and off. Every possibility I could think of. The cable was disconnecting all the time, other errors were like this:

https://i.imgur.com/egaRfQ9.png
Of course it was connected..

Other error:

https://i.imgur.com/lxR1ONI.png

I've spent 40 minutes trying to get it to work. No luck..

The PCB looks like this:
http://i.imgur.com/plQ9GkX.jpg

Overall I would NOT RECOMMEND this cable. But maybe it's just my unit...

[ovi730]

LM7805- voltage regulator

[ireun]

Thanks, there's just one problem.. There is no LM7805 on this PCB, not anything similar..

here's the back photo..

https://i.imgur.com/Ew0fsMe.jpg

[madmax666x]

Yes on the back of the PCB, the chip you see is probably the voltage regulator. Test it with a multimeter.

What's the point of HEX v2 anyway?

[ireun]

It's supposed to be faster than the HEX CAN version and it has a removable cable.

Also, they have removed the labeling from the micro-controller..

https://i.imgur.com/K9o9FjL.png

If you look closely you can read the ARM letters at the top.. And ST letters at the bottom. Well, here it is.. ;)

http://obrazki.elektroda.pl/2588195600_1380876309.jpg
How am I sure that is it F4 and not F1 or F3? Because it is the size of F4, and F1 or F3 are smaller. ;)

And for the voltage regulator - I will test it soon. Thanks for the help! Also, I've already received the refund.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1OkpJe8ySUc&t=48

[ireun]

@tk500

Exactly, but the chip is really different, so maybe it's really supposed to be faster, they just used old dump.. To be honest I don't know. ;)

Atmega162:
• 8-bit
• 16 Mhz clock speed
• 16K Bytes of In-System Self-programmable Flash program memory
1K Bytes Internal SRAM

ARM STM F4:
• 32-bit
• Maximum clock rate of 84 / 168 / 180 MHz
• Up to 1 Mbyte of Flash memory
• Up to 192+4 Kbytes of SRAM including 64-Kbyte of CCM (core coupled memory) dataRAM


To be honest, this chip is way more powerful than old Atmega..

[tk500]

MCU is too powerful :burnout:
So it does not work.

Sorry for my first post as a "lamer"question :

VCDS VAG-COM 12.12.0 always used with no ethernet connection and retro-date (01-oct-2013 as per manual)
I was resetting flap motor on my AUDI , it comes with "this function requires a licensed interface" message
Reinstalled VCDS on a different fresh computer , same error

Is it the cable circuit corrupted rather than software/pc ??
Is there a procedure to restore to previous working state ?

This is the interface :
462882462883462884

Thank you very much for any answer you can give me.

regards

[1 6 D]

You can repair it with kolimer files and have 17.1.3 version :)

[digiteltlc]

just two silly questions:

My working 12.12.0 has never been connected to internet while VCDS was running or USB cable connected :

Why it has become unlicensed itself ???

If cabled was voided someway,(atmega/flash modified) it was been done via USB , why it is not possible to do the same via USB to restore ??

[digiteltlc]

Please , to make the long story short , I don't understand the complete procedure for Kolimer's 17.1.3 :

Into the archive we have :

epromavr.bin
epromavr.hex
eepromftdi.bin

which one(s) has to be used and which programming software has to be used for ?

flash...044.bin
flash...044.hex
flash...046.bin
flash...046.hex

which one(s) has to be used and which programming software has to be used for ?

ftdi_ft_prog.xml
ftdi_mprog.ept

which way have to be used ??


VAGCOM_HWType.exe cannot be used as FTD2XX.DLL is missing : where to find this library ? which version ?


As you see there is a lack of informations , yes I well understand who provides these tools is an experienced programmer/engineer but newbie cannot go ahead by try and try (with a possible HW failure)

The only tutorial found, refers to another procedure (vidpidfix plus ponyprog)

Please, can anybody explain to community in just few rows the right procedure and software used ?

Thank you very very much

All work very appreciated.

I can't see any chip on this PCB that would do that. In terms of driver.. The VCDS setup .exe is signed by Ross-Tech, also, VID is the same as for the FT chip.. So probably just a substitution..

But still I have a big doubt, why sometimes cables get broken (interface not found port not ready usb port not recognized) sometimes after repair an interface? In fact even usb port is not recognizing FTDI IC in cable, why this happends? I have try changing FTDI IC without luck at all? I am using an isolated WinXP 32bit session without any network connection at all and ICs inside cable have been repaired/reflashed properly, according to info posted here. Interface can work some minutes, days inclusive weeks without any issue and a day it simple stop working and computer can not recognize it usb port. Then anyone can enlight me to know how to correct this hardware issue or how to improve a clone cable to avoid this issue?

If the chip of FTDI is destroyed physically, then I will give advice, not to connect a notebook to a network of 220 volts, during diagnostics.
If the chip of FTDI is destroyed by software.
And if you want to protect FTDI chip from reprogram of internal EEPROM. That is necessary in the RT-USB.inf file, to add or change record:
[FtdiBus.NT.HW.AddReg]
HKR, "ConfigData", 0x00010001,1
And reinstall driver.
Or to change(add) the appropriate value in the system registry.

In this chip are emulated more: FTDI, ATMEGA, MPC2515, GAL/ATF.

In the neighborhood of uC and Xtal 8MHz exist another chip, SOIC8 case. I don't see if is MPC2551, 2561 or TJa1050 or..another CI for CAN.

And, the quwstion is: what uC exist in new original HEX-V2 cables?

If is the same or again a big "Fssssss"

A person said me "First two times we wil show you how to make updates, after will make yourself".
Asked and person answered "update mean COPY-PASTE one or few files"

In my opinion, this seems to be like in "multilanguage solution.
But another person said: "No, you only use OEM installer"..
2 different opinions, not OK. But this is only discutions, i wait my "V2" arrive for make tests.

Hi all
I buy also from china clone VCDS Hex V2 version 17.1.3. Today recived it and start test. Connect it to my notebook with windows 10 x64 and to my car Seat exeo 2010. After connect and start diagnostic on my intrument start blink some icons and bip bip bip and saved in some modules more errors. Example in engine, abs, tyre pressure and other. Some i can delete but some can not and must use my old vcds 11.11.5
Before connect to car my car has no errors. After that i must use my old vcds to delete errors which was generate by VCDS Hex V2.
Please help.

[tk500]

That is not HEX V2.
See test results window.

[pepeEL]

Ok but why not working and generate in modules in my car errors ?
In test show Ross Tech Hex USB CAN
Look on video what is problem...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GKxlidU0vLk

In test on K1 show info SHORT TO +12
But how find issue on PCB ?464850

464851

464852




I have old interface on ATMEGA chip version VCDS 11.11.5 and all works OK and on K1 and K2 and CAN show info OK.

[BASi77]

... china clone VCDS Hex V2 version 17.1.3. Today recived it and start test. ...

Could you copy the installation CD from the cable "HEX-V2" on ge.​tt (http://www.ge.tt/) and post the link.

Can you explaine me more ? WHat i must do ? Remove this capacitor ?

[BASi77]

I'm sorry it's power supply

[pepeEL]

But where is a problem ? Why show for K1 short to +12 ?

And why generate many errors in modules in my cars after connect it to OBD and start connecting ?

[BASi77]

You can check whether the diode D1 is soldered correctly.

464997

[pepeEL]

Looks ok but solder it ?

[BASi77]

Looks ok but solder it ?

I meant the right direction of the diode.

465002

[pepeEL]

But how check that right direction is correct ?

I see by zoom and i see that line on diode is correct as you show on image.

[BASi77]

It's better to check this diode with a multimeter, maybe it's a short-circuited.

[pepeEL]

I check by multimeter on option test diode and show me about 1680

[BASi77]

Compare with the measurements on the line K2 on the same diode.

[pepeEL]

But where is for K2 ?

[BASi77]

But where is for K2 ?

D2

465016

[pepeEL]

For D2 also is the same value... 1677.

[pepeEL]

Anybody can help me please ?

Anybody use this clon hex v2 and for you work ok? Please give me link from what seller i can buy to works ok.

[pepeEL]

@ireun did you resolved problem with interface hex v2 ?
I have also simillar problem.

[pepeEL]

Anybody can help ?

[liviudiaconu]

2 transistors above first diode..
check-it! Or, more ok, replace directly.
NPN.

[pepeEL]

Can you explaine me more how check it step by step?
And what you mean about replace directly NPN ?


EDIT
Yesterday i connect this cabel to my VW Lupo 2001 and i test cabel in option.
It show:
K1 short to ground
K2 short to ground
CAN not ready

[pepeEL]

I connected PIN 4 with PIN5. It is GND. Now in my VW Lupo 1.7 SDi 2001 when i test interface show me info:
K1 OK
K2 OK
CAN not ready

But when i try diagnose my car and read errors, and i try connect with ENGINE - i can not . Also can not connect with INSTRUMENT.
But when try connect with AIRBAG i can and connected.
Why i can not connect with ENGINE and INSTRUMENT ?

But i also next test in my Seat Exeo 2010
Test show
K1 short to +12
K2 OK
CAN OK

but when start diagnose by cabel still generate in modules in car more and more errors. ANd i must then clear this errors from modules by my older cabel VCDS on Atmega with VCDS 11.11.5.
On this older i see that some modules only comunicate by CAN , but more modules comunicate by KWP2000 and KW1281.

I dont know why this new cabel on ARM chip not working correct.

Hi friends another consult to you. I have a problem with a china interface (0x46 HW version with Atmega162+FT232RL+GAL with STC+R50+R51+D7 removed) that has a blinking red led all time. ATMega allows to be read/write/erase but I have tested some versions of FW with the same blinking led issue. Of course with ATMega erased led is all time turned off. Any idea what can could cause the problem?

[octavia77]

I have used vcds to activate automatic windows closing when rain on my golf 5 2.0 tdi.
First step is
Enable Auto Rain Closing in Central Electronics Controller (09)
I have done that
2. step
Enable Menu to Enable/Disable in
Comfort System Controller (46)
In there I need to change in coding, long coding, helper i need to chenge byte 9 from value 4 to value 2 and than save it.
When I tried to do that it say something like pres yes to return to factory, no to save changes, cancel to manual change value.
I have try all of that but value won't change.
After that whan I try it doesent give me that message it say code accepted, but it doesent change.
Whatever I try to do I am not possible to change that value.

It's normal behavior. It should stop blinking after first communication with the interface.

M8 first learn to write. you speak about flash as eeprom. From where do u you want 17.8.1 when not even 17.8.0 did not get out at this point for all languages, just EN & FR.
Chill down and wait.

[stonecoldro]

Thank you @kolimer again for the brilliant work!

A small note: before I flashed 17.1.3 (the old version), the HW detect tool worked for me and correctly detected my HW_46 interface. After flashing, it is not able to detect it anymore and exists with "no response". Same thing happened when I upgraded to 17.8. The tools works of course on cars perfectly.

Any ideas if the new firmware or eeproms might cause the HW detect tool to not work anymore? Or maybe it is just a coincidence :)

[kolimer]

@PSAcars did not test, have only RL inteface. Try it yourself & report

@stonecoldro HW detection tool should work

[BASi77]

Be careful!!! Do not use VCDS.exe, only VCDSLoader.exe. With this EEPROM firmware, the VCDS.exe program recognizes the cable as a clone and, after several inclusions, writes a "Clone-Mark".

[liviudiaconu]

Yes, i know this. And i asked correctly, "LOADER (not VCDS.exe) is trial?"...
Because..see image...and specific byte is moded.

I think you can dream on. Thank for what you received and be happy as many are. I am sure as he is supporting the community, when will be time another eeprom will be provided or loader or whatever other solution.

[magadan]

it would not be bad if the EEPROM generator appeared.
If you open a program code, then it will not be difficult to investigate all checks of EEPROM in the program. But I against when many decisions upload publicly. When people learned to disconnect serial numbers of cables from the black list, there was a black list with the computer equipment (the MAC-address and ID of the processor). You complicate to yourself life, Ross does not wait too when newborn children begin to break him. It enhances protection, and an incentive are those who spread the decisions in the general access. You will wait for the fact that substitution of public key, will become impossible, by means of a simple loader, it is necessary to do still something.

I contacted with the seller, and the seller forwarded me to the interface/loader manufacturer..
and they activated my program by TeamViewer....
and everything was fine for a few days... the cable license is gone away...
a contacted with the seller, no answer :(
And i found this topic, thanks KOLIMER i can fix my interface... this is far as the best soulution ever...

Hi all
I have destroyed my old cabel VCDS 16.8 as i show in post #5164
I flashed it succesfull by KOLIMER files and when i connect it to my car and go to test show me that interface found but not plug in to car. Look on screen. What is a problem ? What is destroyed and what i must check ? By files KOLIMER show that is version 0x46 and it is with chip STC. To flash i cut line from resistor R50 to STC chip, and after flash i connect againe line R50 to STC. It is correct ?
470397

Please help me. In PC is detected interface.
Thanks for help.

[hartklep]

You must not connect the line again on the R50.

regards

[xoom]

That loader not working correctly.. something wrong with fault codes. Cant attach screenshot from phone..

[pepeEL]

Bingo works OK
Thanks

[ivica21]

Loader works perfect.I think you writte wrong fuse.

[remyj]

Hello, you have to activate a file "request_licence.DAT" to finalize the procedure Loader-V2
Do you have the solution to generate this key please?

[remyj]

The Loader-V2 does not work there is an error message.
I put you the version Loader-V1.9, it works well.
Remains more than finding the key generator "request_licence.DAT"

[fantomel]

mon chere ami ca me semble que tu ne sais pas de quoi tu parle. tu as une interface chinois avec loader chinois. utilise celle ci ou pas. celui-ci c'est pas un topic du loader chinois.

my dear friend, it seems to me that you do not know of what you speak. you have a chinese interface with chinese loader. use this one or not. this is not a topic about chinese loader.

[eliotroyano]

That loader not working correctly.. something wrong with fault codes. Cant attach screenshot from phone..

For your knowledge I have seen the same thing in a friend´s 0x44HW FT232BL interface that everything works ok minus fault codes reading. It takes forever to read fault codes.

[xoom]

Here is attachment.
I tried to connect to Airbag module and fault codes are wrong.. Also tryed to perform SRI reset.. also not worked (will try with 11.11 version to be sure)

EDIT: Reflashed back to 11.11.0 and SRI reset done without problems..

would be very nice to have it fixed.. :)

Hello buy a vagcom cable 17.3.1 in a chinese seller and I can not actvate the interface because it brings me loader file and generate file dat to me.
Does anyone know how to generate that file? thanks

Hello, same problem as you, I do not know how to activate file [request_licence.DAT]
Did you find the solution

[hid3]

Hello everyone.
I have a VCDS clone cable made by some guy from Latvia. The people who have recommended it to me said that it was a very quality build.
Anyway, I have been using 11.11.0 version. Unfortunately, last week something has happened and the About screen now shows "Unregistered/ unauthorized". I have tried erasing the VCDS and reinstalling it, tried it on different car, etc - nothing helps.

Is there anything what can be done to recover the cable so that it is usable again?

PS: if you ask wether it might have gotten an Internet connection - the answer is NO, the laptop has been physcially disconencted, WIFI disabled, and hosts file contains proper entries too. We were coding ABS but it took around 1 hour or so, so the VCDS was connected long time to the car while this has happened.

Appreciate any input. Thank you.

EDIT:
I have taken apart the adapter and inside found chips with such markings:
ATMEGA162
16AI 0611

ATMEL
ATF16V8B
15JC 9841

MCP2515

MCP2551 (there is a transistor glued over it)

The photos of the adapter:
https://ibb.co/esLcGk
https://ibb.co/j13m95
https://ibb.co/iahDp5

There also are 6 pins for flashing but the pinout is not ordinary. Looking from top to bottom:
VCC | GND
-------+------
MISO | Reset
-------+------
MOSI | SCK

Unfortunately I can't take photos of the backside, as the board is glued to the back cover of the adapter - it's impossible to pull it.

[stonecoldro]

hid3 (http://www.digital-kaos.co.uk/forums/member.php/477627-hid3) - just reflash the interface with the files from this topic. If you are not able to use the 6 pins, solder the wires directly to the ATMEGA chip. You have instructions in this topic.

LE: You could use the pins from the picture you've posted. Just match every pin to the programmer's pinout. Good luck!

[hid3]

Thanks.
Although I have one doubt - the hardware identifier tells me I have 0x44 hardware version.
However, if you follow the instructions in Info.PDF, then to me it seems that it's 0x46 as 34 and 35 pins on Atmega are NOT connected anywhere...
So which HW version in fact do I have?

EDIT: I used MProg to read the info about the chip. It seems that I have FT232BM one: https://ibb.co/jQs7Gk

[pacomasi]

Hello, same problem as you, I do not know how to activate file [request_licence.DAT]
Did you find the solution

Hello I have not found a solution for the DAT file.
In which website did you buy it?
If you find something I would appreciate you to tell me thanks

[liviudiaconu]

@hid3-your HW is for sure 44.

[hid3]

Thanks liviudiaconu. I have jsut ordered the usbasp adapter. Will arrive in ~3 weeks, then I'll do the flash. Wish me the best luck.

[pepeEL]

I have flashed with files from this topic. But yesterday i try connect in by version 17.1.3 to Parking Assist on channel 10 and 76 in Audi A4 2013. But not communicate with this module. I dont know why ? On other module works ok like Instruments, 5F MMI....

[hid3]

Guys,

today I got a cable from a guy who doesn't use it as it has no VW/Audi car.
He told me that the condition of the cable is unknown, it might be spoiled because it was "updated" with bad version of V-C-D-S.

Anyway, I took apart and inside it looks like this:
https://ibb.co/fPX5p5
https://ibb.co/bK5EhQ
https://ibb.co/fz9wwk
https://ibb.co/coZkp5
https://ibb.co/dTBbwk

It has got the chips on with the following markings:

ATMEGA162V
8AU 0907

GAL16V8B

ATMEL912
93C56

--- on the backside >>>
FTDI
FT232BL

MCP2515

TJA1050

Also, it seems that someone has already been inside. As you can see in the pictures, it has got some chips already removed and some kind of spare wire is routed from ATMEL912/93C56 chip.

My questions:

Q1: Is it possible to upgrade this cable to something current? e.g. kolimer's dumps, etc
Q2: I suppose you need to solder wires directly to Atmega chip as there are no pins routed for programming, right?
Q3: Is the spare wire on the ATMEL912/93C56 chip required or should it be removed
Q4: Are there any other hardware modifications which need to be done before flashing/programming the Atmel?

Thanks a lot!

[liviudiaconu]

Is 44 with BM/BL.
Kolimer affirm V2 work on BM/BL too. Some persons affirm not work.
You will try and will see.

[hid3]

Alright, will do. This will be my first test bunny which I'll be testing once I receive the USBASP device - I don't want to brick my good interface :)
Also, compared it to the interface I have and noticed that it doesn't have a 1n4007 diode on the 16th pin. I guess this is used for some kind of protection. Will buy the diode today and solder it in.

Thanks for your support

[pepeEL]

I have cabel on chip BL and looks working ok. But with now one problem. I can not connected to Audi A4 2013 to Parking Assist also on channel 10 and 76.

CABEL ON CHIP FT232BL not working correct with all cars. With some work ok.

[1 6 D]

pepeEL, this A4 can have PDC module build-in BCM1 :) give me coding of 09 module in PM

[pepeEL]

This car is my friend. Now i can not read it.
PDC in this car is in module 09 in VCDS ? And what is BCM1 ?

[eliotroyano]

Is 44 with BM/BL.
Kolimer affirm V2 work on BM/BL too. Some persons affirm not work.
You will try and will see.

In my case it does not work.

[pepeEL]

For me on BL works ok.

[bircaboy]

Work on my old BM cable.

[xoom]

Tryed to read fault codes or do SRI reset? or just pressed test in Options window? :)

[pepeEL]

Read and clear fault codes for me works ok and also TEST in option windows also is OK

Hi all
NEWS NEWS NEWS
I test my cabel HW 0x44 on chip FT232BL on other car. I test on VW Tiguan 2008. Not working correct. When read fault codes it generate in this cars in all modules more and more errors(fault codes) and cars not working correct and enginee go to any emergency mode.

KOLIMER i confirm that cabel on FT232BL not working FULL with all cars. But with my Seat Exeo 2010 works ok and no generate errors and fault codes. But on Tiguan 2008 not working correct.
Please help us.

I have a question
If i have FT2323BL i can only desolder and replace it with FT232RL ? Or any electronicals i also must change if i want change FT232BL ?
Because i think to change on my cabel only chip FT232BL to FT2323RL and after that maybe cabel start working correct with all cars.

I buy my cabel with version 11.11.5 EN and PL and in previus it working ok. But now i dont have epprom and flash to go back. Anybody has ? and can share it.
Fantomel please give me link to your mega becuase i see on other forum that you have any other dumps...

[vaicekas]

Hi all

How do you want to change completely different microchips? If you really want - you can do this, but is it worth it?

You have right :)
But Kolimer this not working correct on chip BL. Works on some cars but on some not working and generate in car modules more and more errors(fault codes)

[1 6 D]

Maybe stay with 17.1.3 if 17.8.0 makes problems:)

[pepeEL]

17.1.3 and 17.8.0 makes problems

I go back on my cabel to flash and eeprom 11.11.5 and all works ok.

[TyByTech]

hi, please tell me what hw version is this interface475302475303
it came with 17.8.0 en


and what is the difference with this one 475304475305

wich one has better hardware protections and more stable.
sorry for poor quality of photo

thanks for answering

[jakuza]

You can see for yourself but second one is better. It has GAL and other needed components.

[hid3]

None of them have a diode on the 16th pin. I got a similar interface (links to it below). Bought the protection diode for like 0.03€, soldered it in, flashed 11.11.0. Works fine, as far as I have tested. I don't need much new features, basically just read and clear fault codes and check some measuring blocks. I'm happy with it.

Hi All
VCDS with PATCH KOLIMER STOP WORKING

Please verify your VCDS with patch v2 from KOLIMER. Yesterday my VCDS stop working... and show in VCDS that is UNREGISTERED. Before all working ok. Yesterday stop working. It stop working on all version 17.8 and 17.1.3
Please verify it.

[alexm1]

After re-install will stay Unregistered?

[pepeEL]

Yes. And tested on two PC/Notebook

[hid3]

To me it looks like 11.11.0 is still the most stable version to use

[pepeEL]

I found only one solution. Uninstall VCDS and delete all directory. Then disconnect INTERNET. Again install VCDS and Copy patch VCDSLoader. Run test and licence is VALID. Then go to Firewall and block output and input for soft VCDSLoader.exe.
After this VCDS works ok and i can enebale internet. Licence is not block.

[fantomel]

you found 0 mate, someone told you how to, and i am sure that all users that read forums about vcds know that all cloned keys get blacklisted at some point. This is why Kolimer gave you usb flashing to restore easy your cable.

Do you think that RT does not look on forums?

[ivicz]

Hi, Gentlemen,

I have an old 11.11 cable with ATMega of course. I'd love to repair it. Problem is:

Status: Questionable
K1: OK
K2: short to +12V

I've checked the four transistors they seemed to be OK.

Tried to reflash (now 17.1 on it) didn't help. Same error.

Please.... If someone has any idea, I would be glad to hear it :-)

TIA

[liviudiaconu]

Photos with both sides of PCB.
IF have that transistors, change-it them directly. IF not, replace one with another on similar position. After this movement IF transistor defective, must have K1-short to +, K2 OK.
If not, the problem is in GAL if have (that i asked you photos), atmega, copper tracks..etc

[cosmind]

solution is loader that work with empty eeprom :dancing:

[ivicz]

477441477442

Here are the photos of the PCB. What's the exact route of K2 from PIN15 to ATMega? Tried to swap transistors... No success... :(

[ivicz]

Why?
Test Result?

Same. K2 short to +12

[liviudiaconu]

Look at this photo...check continuity.
If all right, possible GAL/ATF defective or atmega.

[ivicz]

Thank you very much. What schematic is it? Top secret? ;)

[hid3]

I have exactly the same interface. Minde is working fine (so far).
If you find something suspicious while checking continuity, let me know, I might look up on mine to check if there is a continuity or some resistance between certain components...

Your interface board looks a bit "oily".
What I hate about it that there is no pins on the board (not a free space to drill and solder them permanently) for programming.
I paid 5 Euros to solder a few wires to the chips :(
Also, I have added a protection diode to the 16th pin.

[liviudiaconu]

Thank you very much. What schematic is it? Top secret? ;)

Dear Members!


I'm new here. I've got a Chinese clone cable, low end type - I guess. Atmega, 232RL, MCP2515, MCP2551. Two oscillators, some resistors, etc. No GAL, no 7805. If it's pluged, three low beeps. Red LED begins to flash. In Windows Control Panel: Ross-Tech HEX-USB. VID/PID: 0403/FA30. MProg: Blank devices/Programmed devices: 0/0. VIDPIDFix: nothing. If Atmega erased: no blinkong, but 3 low beeps. It flahsed: RED blinking. What the hell could be the problem?

[liviudiaconu]

Plug-in in a car and led became green. What functionality can have cable without well conditions?

Btw, your cable is a very low quality, aka named [by me] "petard".

[cloudless]

What functionality can have cable without well conditions?

For example: "Interface found. Not plugged into car." or MProg reading/programming


Btw, your cable is a very low quality, aka named [by me] "petard".

Petard? Why? Is it explosive? :)

Should I do any modification for better/safer performance?

[cloudless]

Plug-in in a car and led became green.

You were right, the LED became green, BUT still not recognized. "No interface found" (VCDS), no interface found (Windows)... :( After several reflashing.

I don't understand why Windows shows the interface in Control panel with the right VID/PID with yellow "!" but neither Mprog nor VIDPIDfix can see anything....

[liviudiaconu]

You think you're smart and / or spiritual, but let's get over.
"For example: Interface found. Not plugged into car. Or MProg reading/programming" - this is not a feature, it's just a possibility sometimes necessary.
"Petard? Why? Is it explosive?" No, but like a petard, it only smokes and noises, nothing useful. That's a shameful quality

And returning to serious business. If the driver is not installed correctly, without "?" or "!", you will not succeed. Btw, FA30 is for "bulshits" or "petards" programs cables. If want use Kolimer's solution, PID_FA24

[elremont]

I have the same cable as yours and works like a charm.

[cloudless]

Did you solve this ?

I have the same cable as yours and works like a charm.

Not yet. Mine is dead. Plugged or unplugged into the car. Doesn't matter. What version of SW do you use? Have you ever flashed it? Do you need loader or some trick? Did you have to remove any protection from PCB?

This is mine:

Fantomel can you share link to yor MY VCDS COLLECTION on server MEGA ?

[uh60]

Mine is different ,has 2 MCP chips on it, I flash it with pony prog and the old fashion programmer. I use 17.8 and the loader from Kolimer.

hI GUYS

Whitch sofware should i use for china 409.1 kkl cable
i used a cracked vcds but alwas gone registered after the crack ,somebody told me it should be a specific 409.1 vcds is this true ? and where i can i found the craked software ?
Is a cheap usb 409.1 kkl cable :crushed:

Best Regards

JOSÉ

[alexm1]

will work with vcds lite

[mircea13]

just ordered this hex v2 clone : 479142

[mircea13]

in 2 days i will get it and post some photos of pcb. hope it works. the guy who sell it send me some photos.479143

[mircea13]

and another one479144

[tk500]

Type: RT HEX+USB+CAN

[mircea13]

did anyone have some experince with this clone ? is it stable ? seen some videos on youtube about it and there are some ppl that are having comunnication errors with this one. like all the lights in dash are flickering ,abs goes on and off same as tps engine etc.

[tk500]

That is bad clone. Is not HEX V2.
Do not work in full and cannot be updated.

[mircea13]

you say it's bad bassed on what ? you had one to work with ?

[tk500]

Personal experience.

[mircea13]

ok. :( sorry to hear that . maybe i'm lucky :) will see.thx!

[hid3]

Guys, how do you distinguish these interfaces by just looking at the picture? Even in the picture the interface is in some kind of anti-static bag...

Honestly, to me it looks like Genuine RT iface. It has got all the logos, the screws are like on genuine, the USB wire is good quality, etc...
