    Hello

    I have browsed a lot of forums and no one has had symptoms like mine.

    I have a VAG012 cable and it was working normally for me, but a few days it stopped.
    The computer was connected to the internet all the time and it's possible that it started to update and got off the cable software, or I don't know.

    Symptoms:
    Cable connected to the car, the green light and red light comes on, after a second the red light goes off, VCDS on and after pressing TEST everything is OK, only at the end there is a message: Not connected to the car.

    Would anyone advise what exactly I need to do to get everything working again?

    You have not installed anything else for the same USB?

    No. It stopped working during diagnostics.

    And before downloading, did you read what is written on the adako website?
    "NOTE the software available on this website is intended only for cooperation with original devices from ADAKO, i.e. with HEX-NET, HEX-V2 interfaces. The program will not work with interfaces of other manufacturers. Original devices offered by ADAKO act as a hardware key to the VCDS program, and only they allow for legal and trouble-free use of the VCDS software we offer. "

    I know what it said, and I know it probably broke. The question is whether someone has worked through this problem and whether it can be resuscitated, and how.

    I'm sorry I was silent for so long.
    Unfortunately, I did not manage to solve this problem, because the topic turned out to be "too heavy" for me and the cable is lying and waiting for better times.
    I wrote to the company from which I bought the cable and got the answer that by trying to update the software, the cable was "damaged" and it should be reprogrammed and they can do it for a fee of PLN 50, so I gave up, because it will come out with shipments around PLN 80.
    If I ever find a way to program this cable, I will try to share the solution. But for now, I don't know where to start.
    Best regards.

    In such a situation, uploading a new batch helps.

    If it's a pity to spend on a cable that can be done / viewed a lot and with which you can repair a lot, it's better to go to the workshop and pay 50 for the connection immediately.
    You should be glad that your brand has such cheap diagnostic sites because you can't afford a Mercedes.

    It's hard for me to comment on what you wrote ... because it does not contribute NOTHING to the topic. I can afford the cable. Even to F16 .... but that's not the point here.
    I paid 230 zlotys for this cable and I am not going to pay another 50 zlotys + 30 zlotys shipment for uploading the input to the cable. I bought a "New VCI" interface and that cable is lying around. And I just want it to be operational ...

    You are not able to help me and you do not know how to upload the input to the cable, just do not write ...

    If you are counting on getting fix_kabel.exe, you had to write to Saint Nicholas, today is a magical day ...
    The cable to repair should be dismantled and see what processor it is built on - these better / more expensive versions have golpins on the board to which you connect the interface and program the processor

    Dear colleagues.
    I greeted my friend "Chinczyk" with HEX + CAN VCDS 17,3 to scan my Audi A4 B7 car
    for possible errors, but as it turned out, the cable both on Xp and on win 7 checks individual measuring blocks, but stops at number 70 - the phone and does not want to move in order to completely scan the car.
    Did anyone have such a problem and how to solve it

    Yes, buy / borrow original VCDS cable.
    It's not just a matter of stolen software. This is a question of a chip that likes to hang and when it blows up the gateway, you will understand that you should buy a cable for PLN 1200.

    Dear colleague
    Thank you for the suggestions. But as I wrote, the cable is not mine and I am not going to spend PLN 1,200 on a cable that I want to use to scan any errors in the car once.

    Well, then a visit to a professional workshop will solve the problem.
    You can't scan everything well with these Chinese cables. Even Russians on forums with stolen software know this.
