What`s your problem? Click on the file and that`s it, and you`ll find the video on You Tube

JayRo · Answer

You install the program without a cable connected and do what the Chinese wrote in the manual, without running the program after installation. Then go to the car with the computer and cable. There, after connecting the computer set, cable, diagnostic socket and turning the ignition to ignition, the program should be run for the first time. In the program, select the USB connection type, press TEST and save the setting. After that it will be roughly usable. And the Chinese certainly mentioned in the instructions and probably on the stickers not to have the Internet turned on. Because the software of the system in the cable may crash.

JayRo · Answer

There`s something different about this version than the one in the title, but it`s a small detail.

Anonymous · Answer

This is not a small detail, because Chinese interfaces only work with their software, using software from adako damages the device (interface). And if he read carefully on aliexpers, he would probably read Software can`t be updated!!!

rademe · Answer

The installation itself is very simple - just read the instructions included with the program,
Speaking of this topic, after installing the AKP 21.03 version, it does not recognize the car - and it is an Audi Q5 2019 - maybe someone knows whether it depends on the software version or the cable itself?
Will using a newer version than the dedicated one (i.e. AKP22.03) actually damage the cable?

JayRo · Answer

It`s probably the cable`s fault, check it on the car below, say 2017. If it functions normally, the Q5 will require a version of the so-called cable. Real Hex V2. Offline installation should not seize the cable, while online updating will put it out of use 100%.

rademe · Answer

I connected it to an Audi q5 from 2010 and it works, and from 2019 it connects to the modules but shows the information: "Vehicle unsupported. Consider replacing the interface."
What I noticed is that when running vcds, a window with the message "Loader failed 2" appears, but the vcds window starts normally and tests the connection OK.

JayRo · Answer

This would be true, because the Chinese use a different type of Loader for the Real Hex V2 cables.

rademe · Answer

So maybe I`ll ask this: has anyone bought a cable from a Chinese manufacturer and connected it to cars newer after 2019? Are interfaces (cables) for PLN 400 more reliable than those for PLN 200 on Aliexp.?

piotrekwoj1 · Answer

For PLN 400 and PLN 200, these are two completely different devices in terms of construction.

rademe · Answer

I agree here, but will both actually work with a 2019 car, because I`ve already tried it once, despite assurances, the car is unrecognized Has anyone here connected with a car manufactured in 2019 or newer?

Samsobie · Answer

Can someone send the Polish installer here? I bought it from Ali, but it came with an English menu.

rademe · Answer

I bought a cable on Ali like this:
OBD2 Diagnostic Cable VAG COM V20.4.1 English STM32F415VGT6 ARM + 9241A + TJA10S7 + STM 415 OBD2 1:1 SMT Supports MQB,MSB,MLB
and it also supposedly connects to Audi, but basically I can`t do anything with it, no adaptation
You can already have some fun in the Passat B6
There`s also an English version, but that doesn`t matter

JayRo · Answer

The program is available in Polish version on the ADAKO website.

Samsobie · Answer

Will it work?

JayRo · Answer

There is only one way to find out.

stolek85 · Answer

FriendsIs this Chinese guy able to retract the pistons in my Passat B8?

andrzej20001 · Answer

The one for 400 is even great

piotrekwoj1 · Answer

It will not.

bogiza · Answer

It all depends on what's in the cable - if Atmega cars are up to 2019, newer cars must be on ARM.
