What is your VCI Serial number? Maybe it is blacklisted in this version of the Delphi soft?

Regards and respect?

hello, i have similar problem with my old autocom, im using 2011.1 version and after laptop upgrade autocom software tells me that firmware in tester is not up to date.
When trying to upgrade firmware it thows error.tried to change serial nr. from 30250 to 30221 with tool.exe but result is same.
Maybe my serial is blacklisted? what serial should i use? or maybe i should try to upgrade firmware with newer version of autocom software?
or should i manualy upgrade firmware reflashing it by programmer?
waiting for suggestions! thanks!

You have to use the serial from your VCI with HK, after that you have to test it to the car and upgrade the firmware, with the position of the car key to on. It is a process of updating firmare of 5 minutes.

I've just updated the firmware on both cars and trucks with clone (serial 100251) and sw 2012r3. It does not need to be in car if you can power it up on the bench. Basically I had pins 4 and 5 = GND and pin 16 = 12v.

I've just read a post on another forum saying the program can be internet updated to 2.12.3.2 and this updates the firmware to v1231. Has anyone had the balls to try this on DK?
