VAG-COM/VCDS EVERYTHING

[tomriddle]

great info!!.. have a lot of reading to do..

A quick question about VAGCOM and after market radios, I know I can check voltage across pin 4 & 7 but if I just remove the radio fuse will this not protect my VAGCOM cable? Thanks

Hello,

which is better LPT + PonyProg or USB ISP programming interface + Khazama AVR Programmer for Programming? I always can the programming adapter well with AVR Programmer but the adaper always circumscribes usb FTDI 232BL, give it not a barrier to adaper he is as it is? sorry for my bad English.

chip.
FT232BL
MC2515
GAL16V8c
Atmel 612

VCDS - 10.6.0 GER

greeting
I have vcds 12.12.0
The chips are:
ATMEGA162
FT232RL
no eeprom 93c56
ATF16v88
no IC8 protection
deleted on the Internet


I need to dump 12.12.0 for ATF16v88
now temporarily I saved what I threw ATF16V88 out, merged wire
I put a new dump of 11.11.0 in ATMega and RL chip


P.S. that you can go dump GAL16v8 ver. 11.11.0 in ATF16V88 ver. 12.12.0?
Thanks

Hello,

For Atmega 162 both solutions are OK. But, for PonyProg LPT port needed, rarely on newest PCs.
USB AVR Programmers is more OK because are cheap, USB exist on most PCs.

Have a VAG 11.11 cable for a while (18 months).
Worked fine (could read codes, reset DTC's, change Long Coding, etc).

Recently, it seems it has become locked out saying certain functions need a license now.
I can only think that the Wi-Fi was on when I last used it and the VCDS 11.11 s/w has re-programmed the cable and blocked it.

Looking for help to see if it can be salvaged.
The chips on the board are:

ATMEGA162
GAL16V8B
93C56WP

FT232BL
MCP2515
TJA1050

Plus there's one empty chip pad set. See pics:

If it can be re-programmed, any pointers would be great. Thanks.

Do not worry about missing chip, you should find somewhere on this thread a tutorial.pdf and then you must have a soldering station, a usb programer avr compatible with extreme burner (easy to use), a external 12v cc power source. And the most important, you need dump for atmega and ept file for FT232BM.

Thanks for the summary.
I have ordered a UABasp AVR programmer.
I have +12 PSU.
I have downloaded PonyProg2000.exe and Mprog.exe

I have the tutorial.pdf, Atmega flash + eprom dumps and the EPT file for FT232BL.
I have flashed the FT232BL (using Mprog.exe)

In the meantime, I built a parallel port programmer according to the tutorial.pdf and soldered 4 wires to the Atmeg192:

But not confident about flashing the Atm162.

The reason is that when I use the READ Device command to read the Atmeg162 flash (or eeprom), the read data seems corrupted

That does not look like code.

Question for the folks who have done this before: is that normal ?
Or, is it a problem with the wiring ?

Hello,
does anyone hawe a link for ud fixer?
i'm trying to fix my vag106 cable...
cannot install drivers it recognized the cable as FFFFFFFFFF

edit:
i managed to find UD Fixer by XOOM but sadly i still cannot install drivers...
so i'm out of ideas what to do...

if anybody can help my i will be wery thankfull

Mate,could you introduce yourself first here ? : Introduce Yourself

Thank you...

@MacNB

You can t extract dump from atmega that way, it is encrypted... but if you did manage to read something, will be easy to write atmega with good dump.
Be carefull with lock/fuse bytes, you can block atmega easily.

Thanks alexm1. I thought that might be the case.

I am confused about the fuse, lock and security bits.
Lots of folks are using ExtremeBurner and they state hex values like CD DC F9 CC FFFFFF56 but I am using Ponyprog which only has check boxes for the various bits.

And it looks like PonyProg inverts the checked bits ?

E.g. I think I need to enter these bits for the fuses, etc for fantomel's vers-6-11.11.5-12.12.0_eeprom-512-RL.hex eeprom:

my-fuse-lock-security-bits-256.jpg

is that same as CD DC F9 FC ?

L.E.- Because I do not use ponyprog I can not tell you exactly about fuse bits... I saw now that you have BL and the dumps from download link are for RL, but you will find in that .zip a picture with fuse/lock bits, should work fine.

Hello!!! Help is needed. I'm posting VAG COM 15.7.0 from China with ATMEGA162 + 16V8B + FT232RL. Chinese non-renewable sends Eng. version 15.7.0 . How to combine this wire with the updates , or even be a Russian VCDS? How to do it all . It is necessary to fill in the firmware ? As you do this ?

Thanks for the pointers. I have successfully flashed the tool. Installed 11.11.5 s/w and the tool is Valid/Licensed .

Unfortunately, I think it's damaged since I get "CAN: Not Ready" when I connect to the car. I tried it on both my cars (that have CAN Gateways) and both have exactly the same problem. It can only find the auto gearbox controller -- same on both cars.
I tried 11.11.0, 11.11.5 and 12.12.0....all the same result.

Either the CAN transceiver chip (TJA1050) and/or the CAN Controller chip (MCP2515) is dead

Can't see any other choice but to buy a new tool.
