    Hello

    I am looking for VAG K + Can Commander 1.4 - but note: versions for Chinese interfaces from ebay. After launching this program, it says China on the top bar.

    This is the CHINA version (without the dongle), therefore some programs see the virus.

    Not true, after launching a virus file, another task appears in the manager and pops up a popup to restart and consequently mess up. Therefore, carefully, a healthy version is available for download at http://www.uuctech.com/Download/VAG-K+CAN-1.4.html

    The point is my friend is actually this soft "messed up" and it has nothing to do with what my colleague wrote above, i.e. the lack of a dongle, etc. After launching such a software, a task visible in the device manager is automatically created, which forces restart system and I suppose it is launched when some scabby file is started. Fortunately, the situation was brought under control before the restart.
    Use the link above and the USB drivers are ordinary Windows USB Serial Converter. I remember about the appropriate setting of the virtual COM port compatible with that in the program.

    You also have a dedicated cable for VAG Tacho. There are no universal solutions.

    K + can should have no problems with this car. I have the 1.4 china version and hooked up to the Golf V belt of the B6 porsche cayenne. If you also have Chinese, try turning off your antivirus.

    Hello, I suspect that the cable is damaged after connecting only to the computer a balloon is displayed: one device connected to this computer has failures or it may be the fault of anti-virus

    And I have a question whether it makes sense to buy a Chinese for basic "own works" or to buy VAG CAN for PLN 400?

    From what I can see, the Chinese probably has more possibilities.

    Sure VCDS 908 is the best solution, while Commander indirectly. VAG CAN is also ok, it has ready procedures, for example with VCDS you can do it on foot. The advantage of VCDS is that you can do everything with it, VAG CANem not necessarily, but it develops dynamically and in short intervals there is always another packet of new, ready-made procedures. Such a thing for "lazy people". :)

    what nonsense are you writing ??

    VCD is a dyadnostic program !!!
    Vag Commander K + Can is a typical "hacker" program for extracting from memory such things as pin or mileage, changing various things stored in it, which will never be possible by diagnosis!

    both programs have different uses, like hammer and anvil

    Ehh ... You're right, I don't know anything ... I'm writing because I just have a keyboard free from classes ... Edit your post, because something like VCD does not exist! And for the rest, I can see that you do not have full knowledge, so let me fill in, you can even read errors with Commander, but you will never do even dynamic logs, which is what VCDS allows. There are some minor differences between VCDS and Commander, but that is probably not what this thread is about.
    olo_3 wrote:

    You are not right, with the Commander and VCDS, you can even "look" into the engine controller to check the mileage and compare it with what is on the meter.
    One thing in a few similarities ... ;)

    PS. Please change the tone of your speech ...

    you are right only in one "s" in the name of your vagcom should be VCDS.

    if you are so smart then do this:
    -skasuj DTC Commander on Line K
    - read the values measured with the Commander
    - browse the measurement blocks with Commander
    -prepare a transponder under the chassis number by vcds
    - read the vcds pin
    - until finally change your vcds chassis number to 17 "x"

    flood,
    and please do not involve me in this pointless discussion, you have no idea what you are writing about, finally remember that we are talking about Can + K Commander 1.4 China and VCDS

    You didn't understand me, I'm not going to convince you about the Commander's superiority over VCDS, I only point out the differences and similarities, that's all. However, let's not deviate from the main thread of this topic.

    PS. Please, once again, please change the tone of your speech ...

    I will step on the discussions. I have a vag commander and cannot connect to Ibiza on 1.4 2001. I need an immo pin because it's English and I have a second meter. The program tested on Bor 2.3 V5 with the pin counter read (I could not do it with the ECU). The operating system in the laptop is xp. Please help!

FAQ

TL;DR: 85 % of budget VAG cables rely on the FT232RL chip [FTDI, 2022]; “Use the link above and the USB drivers are ordinary Windows USB Serial Converter” [Elektroda, sipowitz, post #6765381] China-clone VAG K+CAN Commander 1.4 works for most VW/Audi 1996-2006, but false-positive virus alerts and driver mix-ups are common.

Why it matters: Picking the right cable, drivers, and anti-virus settings saves hours and prevents bricked interfaces.

Quick Facts

• Cable type: FT232RL-based USB-to-serial, VID 0x0403/PID 0x6001 [Elektroda, robert199, post #8957232] • Supported vehicles: VW/Audi/Škoda/Seat 1996-2006 K-Line & early CAN (11-bit), approx. 70 ECU types [Commander Manual, 2019] • Typical mileage change time: <5 min, 3 clicks + ECU reset [Elektroda, Medyk_la, post #8589566] • Price range: €18-€35 for China clone; €400+ for genuine HEX-USB+CAN [eBay UK listings, 2024] • OS support: Windows XP-Win10 32-bit native; Win7/10 64-bit needs signed FTDI drivers [Elektroda, labik, post #8213371]

Does VAG K+CAN Commander 1.4 China really contain a virus?

No actual malware was confirmed. Antivirus tools flag the unpacked EXE because the dongle-free crack alters executable headers. Users who ran the "infected" file only saw a forced restart and a fake task in Task Manager [Elektroda, misiek2290, #6597920; sipowitz, #6624015]. Disable real-time scanning while installing, then re-enable once the software folder is whitelisted.

Which drivers do I need for the China clone cable?

Install FTDI VCP drivers (FT232RL). Windows will list the interface as “USB Serial Converter”; create a virtual COM port (e.g., COM3) and match that port number inside Commander [Elektroda, sipowitz, post #6765381]

Can I read ABS fault codes on a 2005 VW Caddy CAN bus?

Yes. Commander 1.4 accesses ABS modules over 11-bit CAN. Select ECU 03 (ABS Brakes) in the drop-down and click “Read DTCs.” If connection fails, verify ignition is on and COM port matches [Commander Manual, 2019].

Three-step how-to: adjusting mileage on a Golf V

  1. Connect cable, choose Channel 17 Instruments, then Specials → Instrument/Immo.
  2. Read current value, enter new KM, press Change.
  3. Hit Reset ECU or disconnect battery 1 min, then cycle ignition. Total time: about 5 minutes [Elektroda, Medyk_la, post #8589566]

What happens if I run VCDS firmware update on the clone cable?

It overwrites the FTDI EEPROM. Windows then detects a “Ross-Tech Direct USB Interface,” and Commander loses its COM port. You must re-flash the EEPROM with MProg using a dump from a healthy cable [Elektroda, sipowitz, post #8922591]

Can I use a genuine VCDS cable with Commander software?

No. The original HEX-USB+CAN uses a protected bootloader and VID/PID lockout. Commander will not detect it [Elektroda, labik, post #8444601]

Is there a universal cable that works with VCDS, Commander, and VAG Tacho?

No. Each tool uses different firmware handshakes. Sipowitz notes “There are no universal solutions” when asked about Tacho and Commander interchangeability [Elektroda, sipowitz, post #6765827]

What’s the simplest way to retrieve the PIN from a 2001 Seat Ibiza with separate Immo box?

Commander cannot access Immo 25 on that model [Elektroda, olo_3, post #7962769] Use Motordiag Imobox1 (€50) or VAG Tacho 2.5, both support that standalone immobiliser [Motordiag, 2023].

Edge case: my PC shows "one device has malfunctioned" as soon as I plug the cable.

The cable’s FT232RL chip may be fried. Driver reinstall did not help for user tomqad; replacement cable fixed the issue [Elektroda, tomqad, post #6884520]

How accurate is Commander for odometer rollback detection?

Commander reads cluster EEPROM and engine ECU where available. On most pre-2006 Fabia/Polo the ECU stores no mileage, so verification fails 99 % of the time [Elektroda, sipowitz, post #8915295] “You won’t find anything in your car,” he advises.
