Check the pins with multimeter or solder 4 wires directly on pins of Atmega.

I have one dead vcds clone hex v2.after changed LM2940 and 2x9241A it came to life with k1 k2 ok, but CAN line is dead.
LM2940 is very very hot after a few seconds.
What's the problem? i don't want to change CAN controlers if LM2940 will be so hot again.

Did you test it in a car with CAN bus system?
If the interface is only connected to power (+12V and GND) then the CAN bus is always shown as faulty.

Yes, tested on car, passat b6.
I had change MPC2515 too, same result.i don't have a TJA1050 and quatz.but i think, is to much to work.
It is better to buy a new one.

Check what voltage levels you have on your CAN pins and chip power pins...
you can always buy another one...
bmw318isblack
5th October, 2019, 10:34 PM
The LM2940 is nothing else then the LM7805 (and they can get quite hot :) ).
I would check the voltage around LM2940 (Vin and Vout) and the capacitors around it.
If nothing fund then hook up an ammeter to power supply of the VCDS and
take one chip after another down until you see an drop on the ammeter ==> thats the defect chip.
If you cant find anything after an hour or so keep it as spare and order a new one.
Can't loose nothing ^^.

10x all of you.
I found, in my mistery box two echivalent for tja1050: vn7342 & mpc2551. I'll try with one of them, it is the last chance.
However, original is Ata6551, only speed is different.
flavyus1987
6th October, 2019, 07:50 AM
Changed Ata with mpc2551 and LM is cold, but CAN still not ready, hmmm....
hid3
6th October, 2019, 09:38 AM
This CAN Not Ready issue is becoming a sickness... Could you please continue testing until you find a solution?
Hot LM2940 usually means some component is draining lots of power = shorted. In your case it looks like it was either ATA or MPC2551.
Can you check all the tracks on the PCB related to CAN so that the continuity exists on all of them and none of them is burnt or broken?
flavyus1987
6th October, 2019, 10:42 AM
It is alive now, uhhh...
Change ATA with NV7342, and finally works.
To many components changed, and a lot of time...
And LM have normal temperature.
hid3
6th October, 2019, 11:09 AM
So what was the faulty compenent you replaced and it started to work? ATA6561?
flavyus1987
6th October, 2019, 11:28 AM
This hardware was ~~~~ed on a NON VAG car.
Changed LM2940 and Si9241 to have K1 & K2 ok, but LM was to hot and CAN not ready. and after that changed MPC2515, and LM temperature become normally but CAN still not ready.
Finally changed ATA with NV7342 and resistor 120ohm between canL & canH and everything is ok.
Maybe it had old problems, many burned pieces.
bmw318isblack
6th October, 2019, 02:10 PM
Did you use it on a truck with 24V? IMHO it should make no difference to use the interface on an other car (without haveing the benefits of vcds).
flavyus1987
6th October, 2019, 02:43 PM
I don't know it's not mine.it is of a friend, nobody try to repair this so hard, because is bad for business.spend a lot of time for nothing, and changed pieces cost almost like new one.
But how i said, i think this had old problems , and now was the end of the line.

IMHO the 0x46 HEX V2, better chip set and volatage regulator dont up heat that much.
And not really a big difference in price, if you use forum vip offer :) !

If you have the "chance" to buy a cable with this kind of FTDI- with that signature on it- you better think twice because will last about 2-3 times of use and than he "dies".
I will post some pics with both sides and on the rigth/down side an OEM FTDI (I hope). https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191007/21058feae348fc2bb345aca3d27d11c5.jpghttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20191007/a81f4e7a288e5637b1c349c700c70146.jpg

Those 3 pcs FT232RL(probablly fake) was replaced because those cables worked only about 5 times and than on Dev. Manager shows Unkonwn Device.
Every piece has same/Identical hand signature on it, the ideea is to not buy a cable with this type of FTDI, I hope I was clear enougth this time.

quotes : The driver writes zeros to the internal EEPROM of the chip at the address 0x002 (which is just the PID of the device), and writes such a code at 0x03e so that the CRC (located at 0x03f) matches. On the original chip, these operations do not lead to anything, because its EEPROM has a 32-bit organization. When writing a word with an even address, it only buffers, and when writing a word at an odd address, two words are recorded at once. A fake chip records each word, so its PID spoils (it becomes 0x0000). Therefore, the fake chip is normally detected during the first connection (as long as the data in the EEPROM is correct), and after reconnecting it is no longer detected

You or another saw this situation VID_0403&PID_0000? Asking because i saw 2-3 times this. But this combination was generated by V(D$ itself, damage AT eeprom and FTDI eeprom. Old versions and before 2.08 FT driver. The rest of times i saw "Not recognized" VID_0000&PID_0000. And this is because of bad China clone FTDI defective after few use, one of +/-/D+/D- desoldered or interrupt, "STC" or "AES" defective, etc.

This is just information and a program that can be used to verify a supplier should not be taken as a panacea for problems. It will be useful to someone, and someone will ruin their scanner, but it was not my fault that I did not put the program in the public domain.

You understud me wrong. Maybe my english is bad.
I only asked statistics how many times you saw the situation "0403/0000". I'm not saying that application is not useful.
And I said that I only saw 2-3 times that situation but created by "V (D $ .exe", not the driver, sometimes that VID / PID being different (5211/0000, etc).
Most "0000 0000" are due to poorly made FTDI clones.
I did not bring any reproach to anyone. Sorry the date meant something else.

You have nothing to apologize for, our translations into English incorrectly convey thoughts to each other, everything is ok. “0000 0000” is a very bad clone and needs to be replaced; do I often encounter such situations? Yes often, because I myself do them for myself and experiments. All is well, friend, do not apologize, you know that I am very nice to you.

Kolimer ......
Thank Kolimer very much.
I used VCDS 17.1.3 English before. It seems like cable version was 1.96, I am not sure.
Few days ago, I checked cable with the tools and flashed it.
Then I installed VCDS 19.6.1 ZHS downloaded from official website.
It's working fine when I am doing autoscan twice and enter ABS module, clearing fault code.
I got "communitation error" few times when I was clearing fault code in ABS module and entering the module last night. This error appeared when I was trying 19.6.1 ENG first last night.
Then I used ZHS back, no error at my same operation. But, I got the error with ZHS too after that. It's not appeared everytime, occasional. I can use 19.6.1 ZHS to do something successfully still.
Another question btw.
Since I upgraded my Instruments to "L5K D92 087 3" from "5KD 920 870", and upgraded VCDS 10.6.4 to 11.11 12.12 17.1.3, I got a popup message "no rod file found" which is caused by following.

probably my question was asked 100 times before. Unfortunately all my search results gave not a useful result. I'm searching for a Package of Label Files for importing to Carport. I yust converted the files from VCDS. But the most fils I need are not LBL but CLB files. Is there a package with further files anywhere?
Especialy a label file for 1K0 907 530 is what I'm looking for. Thats for my diagnostic interface (interface 19).
Anybody has any advice for me :itsme:?
Thank you.

Some of RT versions have bugs, you can always use latest thanks to kolimer. So, no need to search anything. Also, you can use latest loader with previous stable version, let's say 18.9.0

Did you use it with internet access on?
You should keep internet off at all times to avoid the cable communicating with RT servers which would result in a ban of the serial number.
Do you still have the cable? Can you post c-test.exe screen with cable connected to a 12v source (can be the car, of course)

Hello! 19.6.2 HGJ work 9.2 Loader?
Igen, működik :) (Yes, it works)
For sure work? Tested OK?
Because i tested 19.6.1 ROJ and HGJ with V9.2. ROJ Work, HGJ not work. Not only "Test" OK..green serial. No, tested more actions.

Oh WOW! Now we are talking! This is the unicorn! 20190902 All we need is now where to buy this. At least I'm interested. Would appreciate if you could reply to my PM if you don't want to post source publicly.
Edit: Took a look at this and seems like this was a well kept secret. No wonders I couldn't find it on Aliexpress. With the right search terms you only get one result and the one posted by obdcarsale. No labels, no PCB shots, nothing. This might be end of the old old HEX-V2 era.

Try to update firmware.
From the Port test window you can only see FW (Firmware) and CB (Code Block) version. They are up to date if you take a look at RT forum changelog for HEX-NET. There might be newer firmware version for HEX-NET but that's because it's a different product and has wireless. We cannot see BL (Bootloader) and DS (Dataset) versions and CFB (whatever this is). You can only see the version numbers for these in the \/CDS Interface Config tool. And who knows what kind of serial number the cable has. (I would hide that in screenshots). If you launch the \/CDS Interface Config tool that might phone home or brick cable, but it's hard to tell with not that many units sold for this new cable. We need guinea pigs I guess... Do at your own risk.

Even HEX+CANs have the "counters". Each time you plug in the interface into the OBD2 port, the count is increased by 2. It also stores adaptations, codings changed, DTCs cleared count too. All these counters go one way but never backwards.
Upon \/CD$ installation, it puts into system's startup file, which connects to their server. Even when you launch the program, it reports to the server those numbers (along with serial, MAC addresses of the PC, etc).
If the server detects that multiple interfaces are reporting at the same time or the count somehow goes backwards - boom, blacklist, license revoked in next version.
Do you think "next gen" interfaces as V2 and NET do not have "counters"? :) Then think once again!

I'm not telling you that there's absolutely no spying. We don't even know if STM32 clone has a crack/loader or if it can be updated. Only one has been sold so far. Time will tell what happens with these cables. Use them until you can I guess and hopefully one of these cables gets to kolimer.

Hi guys. Sorry about my poor english. Just let me give you some info.
Yes now we can buy this 1:1 V2 clone on Chinese market. But it's more expensive, even more than VAS5054A clone.
And the most important, the SN No. on clone chip may be disable by R0SS-Shit company in the next version.
So now it's not worth to buy. We must make sure the ARM chip can be flashed and someone can make patch like kolimer.

Im after the hex v2 because the classic hex+can doesnt access certain modules on 2019 vag cars for coding. My last cable that i had for a few years was a 15.7 which is a little outdated so i thought ill get the most up to date version which is a 19.6.1 i believe? Im in the process of returning the 19.6 hex+can cable that i bought recently so i can get a hex v2 that works with all cars including the newest ones.

The classic one can not support some new MY2019 cars and some modules. Like MQB POLO, T-ROC, T-cross. Maybe all the MQB-A0 cars. Of course I know it's trick from R0ss-Shit. For selling their new products, unscrupulous.

There's two clones on Aliexpress. One only mentions chip with a generic housing, the other has board shots but both of them are expensive. With little search you can find them easily. When you see the price you know you got the right item.

I think i know why you didn't get a link. That is because you won't get a link in public. Also you are a new user and not being on this forum for more than a week. You could be RT employee (I'm not telling you are but you must build up some rep in here). Plus if you know the link you wouldn't buy a cable anyway because right now there's no point to buy one. It's way too expensive and the risk of getting it banned it quite high. If you really want one you can find both of them quite easily. You know what MCU the original HE>< V2 has. It's just a matter of one search and a little sorting. The other even more expensive cable has PCB shots in the listing so that's also easy to find. If you can prove it that you are capable of finding any of them and send a PM with a link to me I'm going to tell you if it's the right link or not. How about that?

@papuc what makes the cable get banned? Is it cause of going online? Is it because of updating the software?
Ask RT. Having some common sense also helps. There's not only VCDS, there's firmware on the cable as well. They can brick cables if they want. I'm sure they can code some routines to check if it's a genuine He>< V2 or if it came from China. So you might be stuck on the same 19.6.X version forever, especially if you cannot reprogram the cables. Chink sellers might be able to do that but they ain't gonna tell you how nor give you a hex or dfu. You don't know if you can update the shit on the cable with the official ones from RT servers. For Hecks+CAN the firmware came from a local file from VCDS installation folder rather than a remote location. There's actually bin files if you take a look. While for genuine Hegz v2 there's a tool that downloads them and phones home with probably too much information that's encrypted. Buy a cable and try in and capture traffic with Wireshark if you can throw out the window 100+ Euros. You might as well buy an ST-LINK v2. Maybe you are lucky and there's no read protect on the MCU unlike the genuine cable.
So yeah. You don't have a loader and toolset to fix bricked units like you do with Hecks+CAN. Kolimer ain't gonna help you so don't bother him with. You got to start from the beginning and take down the empire again till they run out of space on the MCU and RT decides to use something else with more space on it.
I would experiment with the new clones if the prices were only 1/3 the price. The problem is that mofos in China have way too much old old clones in stock. Somehow those must go. Also they won't tell you what they did with the cables or how they function. No installation videos, not mentioning the new MCU or if they can be updated or not. So wait and don't post links. If they update cables after a new VCDS version and sell the same cables then there's hope. If the same listings stay on the same version then it means only the person who reverse engineered knows and has the ability to fix the cables. Keeping that as well a secret means that resellers won't have the ability to flash the old cables to the newest firmware thanks to the read protect (if they did that). And to write a new firmware you need to erase the old one. (Similar situation if you want to flash a custom firmware on a GOTEK floppy emulator that has a similar MCU from STM.)
Keep your eyes open on other places, reviews and videos of bricked cables. Also RT forums when some dumbass asks why his cable not working anymore...

I think we are after different things. Me personally am not looking to update the firmware or the software. Just a want an up to date offline cable. Being stuck at 19.6.x isnt that bad considering i would have a wide range of cars that i can code from 2005 to 2019. As long as the cable and software is as stable as the 15.7 it would last me a couple of years like my 15.7 cable did. Gotta find one now that actually works.

If bootloader is unlocked, download v9.2 from kolimer after that write with VAGCOM_EEWriteLang polish language, than you install vcds poland and update firmware.

Hi friends,
I see that the cable with STM32 is out but the manufacturer of this clone is as greedy as ro$$teak ;) In short, i prefer to stay with my atmega162 enough for my stuff.
Exactly i would like to ask a question to the experimented, which version is really functional with this He><V2 ? the 19.6 is not stable at home, the 18.9 is stable but as a lock, it is necessary to choose an even older version for the encodings... ?
Thanks and respect to the forum and friends such as Kolimer and all the big the sharing.

Hello, can anyone tell me which cable should I get? Is V1 with M162 good enough? Right now I have prehistoric v11.11. It works fine, but you know, maybe a little updated version would be better. If I understand correctly, V1 doesn't support whole MQB platform, so does it mean all cars listed under wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Group_MQB_platform (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Volkswagen_Group_MQB_platform) are no go with V1?
Either way, is this version ok? https://imgur.com/9I7KOTH

Hi,
Yesterday I tried to do something in an 2019 Octavia (is is only 2 weeks old), My cable (0x46 with 1.9.6) could do the autoscan, but it couldn't download the 09 centr. elect. admap, and the adatptation button is grey in this module (I used the 31347). It means, the V2 cable is needed for this car, or a newer software will enough for the adaptations?
Someone tried the 0x46 cable with 2019 car? what sas the result?

Hello Friends.
I have an old USB VAG COM cable with ATMega162 and FT232RL. Firm ver 1.84 and VCDS ver 11.11.2.
I want to upgrade it for using with my new audi A3.
Before flashing I read quite a few posts and dowloaded all neccesary resouces.
First I ran the VAGCOM_HWType.exe. It reported "Interface not found". However the driver of the cable was OK because VCDS 11.11.2 worked well.
Then I tried to program the FT232 chip by writing "ftdi_mprog_RLRQ.ept" to the FT232RL. Succeeded. Then I installed the new driver successfully.
Now trying VAGCOM_HWTye.exe again and it reported:
669736
Glad to see that the boot loader was enabled but the HW version "0X46" confused me, because I learned from various places that if the pin34/35 of ATMEGA were connected to the PLD(ATF16V8), the HW version should be "0X44", which is exactly my case:
669739
Anyway I proceeded. Successfully refreshed the avr162 with one-click tool "VAGCOM_EEWriteLang.exe" —— with flash & EEPROM for "0x46" HW.
The cable seems working with 19.6.1 on my old fabia but I'm still a little worring. Does any one know if I did something wrong?

I upgraded my original hex-can usb to hex net pro, using ross-tech uprade option.
Old one must be destroid, but in the matter of fact, i have it.
It would be stupid to use it in laptop with internet i think, because my new one can be blocked for that "joke" :)
So its interesting now, can it be reflashed, serial number changed..in other words- can original became a clone ? Can i find right dump for it ?
Thanks.

I'm pretty sure they have already blacklisted it anyway.
The blacklist will be populated upon next version, as well, if you connect it to existing V(D$ or "V.exe /update" runs which is on startup, the interface will be permanently bricked

Yes you can if your cable was built with chip ATMEGA162.
It would be a little bit difficult if you don't have any experience in firmware upgrading or even soldering.
However the cable is dead already, why not try to do something?

TRY
1. uninstall current version V(D$ and remove the directory where it was installed.
2. Download 19.6.2 from the official site and install it to your PC. During the installation the cable should NOT be connected to the USB. Do NOT to uncheck ""Run V(D$ at once" before click OK button at the last step of the installation.
3. Connect the cable to the USB port. If lucky the driver will be installed automatically. If failed to load the driver try to install it manually.
4. If the cable is identified and driven properly it should work. Google "V(D$Loader" you should find the 9.2 version. Download it and copy the file "V(D$LOADER.exe" to the directory where V(D$.EXE is located. Run the loader and try testing the cable.
5. If the cable cannot driven by the 19.6.2 driver, or the 19.6.2 software cannot identify the interface even the device is properly driven, you may need to refresh the firmware. That would be another story.

Besides, if the cable cannot be recognized by Windows with any version of driver (your old one or the 19.6.2 version), that means the FT232 chip was modified ("locked").
To solve this problem you need to refresh the FT232 chip.
First download the generic FT232 driver from http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/CDM/CDM%20v2.12.24%20WHQL%20Certified.zip. Unpack it.
Check your USB device VID & FID by:
Open the Device Manager of Windows -> right click the cable (should be ross-tech something with a yellow icon showing that the driver doesn't work) -> Properties -> "Detailed Information" Tab -> "Hardware ID"
You will find something like this:
670273
Then open the "ftdibus.inf" in the dirctory of the FTDI driver with notepad, replace all string "VID_0403&PID_6001" with what your find in the device manager (in this exapmle "VID_0403&PID_FA24").
Now manually install the driver and have windows install it from the FTDI Driver directory.
Once the driver is installed and working, you can use MPROG35 to refresh the FT232 chip:
Run Mprog;
"Read and Parse" to load current FT232 flash. "Save as" to save it as backup.
"Open" to open the flash file that will be written to the FT232. The file has .ept suffix and can be found in the "V*** Loader" package.
670275
*Use "ftdi_mprog_BMBL.ept" if your chip is FT232B* or "ftdi_mprog_RLRQ.ept" if your chip is FT232R*.
Write.
After that the generic driver would be useless.
Disconnect the cable.
Install 19.6.2.
Re-connect the cable. The USB driver should be loaded automatically.
Then you can proceed. The following procedures require a 12V DC power to the boad of the cable. Could connect +12V to the pin 1 of 7805 and zero to the head sink of the 7805.
Run "VAGCOM_HWType.exe". Press "read".
If the status of "boot loader" is "Enabled" you are lucky. Use "VAGCOM_EEWriteLang.exe" to automatically refresh the chip.
If the boot loader is disabled you will have to refresh it manually. A USBASP/ USBISP device is required - very very cheap. Follow the instructions. Be careful with the differnet board versions 0x44 or 0x46. Be careful with the fuse bits!

Seems like they have now the STM32F415 variant now as well at the low low price of $119.99. They only had 5 and someone bought one from Belgium two days ago. They show PCB so pretty sure that's HecksV2 clone.
Edit: And seems like there's another listing for $109.99 there too.

Check again. I see STM32F415. That's not Atmel. They have PCB shots in their description. Pretty easy to spot. If the price is high you know it's the right one. Click the his link and try to spot the real V2 clone.

Yes I checked there are some likely V2 clone. Some sellers show the pictures of the PCB or the snapshot of software diagnostic result. 4-5 times the price of V1. interesting.

I got a cable from a guy who took down all USB cable wires from PCB (I don't know how). He or somebody else tried to find the right wire order but they made an ugly solderint surface. Luckily the PCB pads are silll good enough.
I searched the same PCB (https://forums.ross-tech.com/showthread.php?3549-Hex-Can-USB-cable-not-being-seen-on-Win-7-or-Win-8-1-machines&p=36117&viewfull=1#post36117) to check the wiring but with the same wire order even the Windows cannot recognise the USB device. No "ding-dong" sound on plug in the USB port. Is anybody knows what should be problem or the right USB wiring order?

Logic guidance:
1.See picture and you have a point where to start.
2. Start with BLACK wire-
Use a multimeter to check continuity from midlle leg of the LM7805 -voltage regulator- to one of 4 pads- solder Black wire there.
Black and Red should be left/rigth and Green and White in the midlle.
So, after you find the Black pad put Red on the oposite pad, " play " with Green and white.

Can vag-k+can cable be converted to vcds cable?
Maitreya
4th December, 2019, 02:18 AM
Let me tell you my experience. I have a cable whose PCB and the layout of all components look identical to those of one board found on the internet. There are 10 pads on the end of the PCB for USB (4 pads), ISP (4pads), and 2 extra ones. However the USB pads are oriented in totally opposite way for 2 boards, and the extra 2 pads on my board are GND, but on the other board they are VCC to the chips other than FT232 (FT232 is powered by USB port)!
As was described in #9213, if you are sure which 4 pads are for USB, first please find the GND with a multimeter. The GND pad (for the black wire) shall be shorted to the heat sink of the 7805 regulator. Then, in principle, the neighboring one is green (D+), then white (D-), then red (USB VCC).
The most reliable way is to check the connectivities between these pads and the FT232 chip. The one who connected to pin8 (USB DM) of FT232 should be white and pin7 (USB DP) should be green. The resistance between the pad to the pin may not be zero but should be a quite limited number:
672114
However I cannot locate the FT232 on your board.....
Maitreya
4th December, 2019, 02:53 AM
OK done with it. Take a look at the following picture. It's the upper right corner of your side-a.jpg. The QFP32 chip is FT232.
672117
The pin8 is linked to USB D- via a 27R risistor and pin7 to D+ as well. So your white and green wires are in correct positions.
Check the pad in the red circle. I highly suspect that it should be USB VCC (red wire) but the pad was destroyed by bad soldering. Check if it is shorten to pin3 of the FT232.
The pad currently soldered to red wire is supposed to be GND and should be soldered to black wire. However before operation check the connection between it and the pin9 of the FT232 or the heatsink of the 7805.
Anyway by checking the connectivities you can easily find the proper connection way. It should work if none of the components was destroyed by mistakenly applied voltage. Good luck.

I cleaned the old wirings and the pads are not in that good condition than I thought. Hopefully they are still work.
I checked the left connection point (where Blask is soldered) and it shorted with the 7805 heatsink. So it looks OK.
If the green and white cables are in a good position, the wiring should be good.
Here is a pic from the RT forum. The wiring is the same as "mine". It has a 5th hole what is not a pad :)

I think the problem should be the bad quality of soldering or partly damaged pads or previous user mistake with a bad connection (and with it destroyed component).
Maitreya
4th December, 2019, 09:07 AM
Yes I carefully viewed the picture again and found that the "hole" on the upper right edge must not be a pad because in the oppsite direction there is another one obviously not a pad.
That means the positions of your wires are correct. Clean & check the soldering, then good luck!
This board seems the "official" version.

On my PC there are 17.1.3, 17.8, 18.9, 19.6.1. Generally new version supports new model cars better, but sometimes old ones are better for old cars.

Not necessarily. From 18.x (and even earlier versions) to 19.8.x the V˘D$ works with V1 cables with firmware 1.96 only. That means your cable has the most up-to-date version firmware, otherwise it wont work.

9th December, 2019, 01:55 AM
NO you don't need to do so.
Your cable has definately the most up-to-date firmware version, which is 1.96. For both the program and eeprom.
The number "1.96" has nothing to do with the recent VCD$ version 19.6.2 - they just look alike. As far as I know, in the past 8 years there were only 3 firmware versions released, 1.84, 1.92 then 1.96. However there were tens of VCD$ software versions from 11.xx.x to 19.xx.x. The version number of VCD$ version denots the year in which the sofware was released and upgrade turns in that year.
The firmware 1.96 was released a acouple of years ago and from that time on, VCD$ new versions work with 1.96 only. So any cable works with 19.xx, 18.xx, 17.xx ... must has the most up-to-date firmware.
Nobody knows when the next version firmware will be released - probably not forever because they are promoting their HEX-V2 now. V1 cables gonna have less and less functions and then die on one day. Sadly but true.

They are now artificially limiting the HEX+CAN functionality ("incompatible vehicle, please upgrade", etc).
Besides, there is no flash space in AT162 for firmware updates.

If you your VCDS and cable could perform normal connection and scanning/ reading, but encountered
674317
while traing to code or adapt somthing, and got a failure feedback like
674318
after clicking the OK button, please lift the hood of the car and then it will work.
This kept bothering me a couple of days until yesterday I tried the 19.6.2 which came with a new feature that a warning message will jump if the software suspects that there is a diagnostic firwall activated:
674319
With the old 18.9 ZHS version there was no warning so I didn't know what happened when I could not access the coding and adapting. It was very strange that at the beginning (brand new audi A3) I could do without lifting the hood but since last weekend I could not until I found the way on yesterday evening.

No nothing was grey. Still I could adapt or code but the application will be refused at the final step.
Besides, it seems that with 19.6 the adaptation of central elec was grey even after entering the correct access code . I'm not sure (poor memory) but that might be the reason why I always use 18.9.
