    Hi, I have a vagkkl cable and software for cars not younger than 2004 and I would like to know if I could make the soft VCDS 12.12 work with the vagkkl cable? Is it enough to install some drivers for the cable?

    vag kkl is for cars younger than 2005, usually, as the name says KKL, from the K-line. cars after 2004 had more and more CAN, and in the audi after 2006, your cable will not do anything at all.
    and VCDS will not work with KKL, install VAG COM. The cable drivers should be supplied from the manufacturer. If you do not find it on the KKL cable in google, read the installation instructions!

    Okay, I was thinking about VCDS for RossTech cables, I did not think about the Lite version, for example. And these cables from VAG COM work very steadily

    It is not important to vintage what the network in the car. Your cable works with, for example, Audi a4 b5, b6, a4 b7, unfortunately not especially from 2006. Tell me how you want to diagnose the cars in which yearbooks and, first of all, where did you buy the cable?

    I have long cables, and I do not mean vcds lite only the full version, the cars I want to service: a6 from 2009, passat b6 from 2006 and b8 from 2016

    You will not fire VCDS on KKL.
    VCDS requires a special interface that has a different construction.
    VCDS will not even notice your interface.
    Your interface does not support CAN and no software will change it.

    What is different from vcds, from vcds lite, since solid reads from kkl, it sees everything that lite allows.

    The fact that Lite is soft for Vag-KKL and supports cars until 2005 that have diagnostics on the K and L lines. Newer models connect on the CAN bus that this cable does not support.
    For your cars you need to buy, for example, HEX-V2 or HEX + CAN.

Topic summary

✨ The discussion centers around the compatibility of the VAG KKL cable with the VCDS 12.12 software for vehicles manufactured before 2004. It is established that the VAG KKL cable is primarily designed for vehicles up to 2005, as newer models increasingly utilize the CAN bus system, which the KKL cable does not support. Users are advised that VCDS requires a different interface that can handle CAN communications, and thus, the KKL cable will not function with VCDS. Recommendations include using VAG COM or upgrading to interfaces like HEX-V2 or HEX + CAN for newer models. The importance of proper driver installation for the KKL cable is also highlighted, with suggestions to refer to the manufacturer's instructions for driver support.
