Got my cable a couple of days ago. Didn't install the kind of ghost system mentioned away back on page 8, just disabled the internet connection on my laptop, installed the software and it worked straight away. Only managed to enable the staging so far before the wife chased me cause we were late for dinner.....

Got the staging, alarm chirp and quick fold mirrors done. Followed the Stemei guide but can't get the carbon fibre effect to show as the screen background or the laptimer to come up. Can anyone help?

VCDS Version 12.12.2

Hi

I got mine from Cobdtrade a few days ago.

Got it working using version 12.12.0 on my XP laptop connects to my MK3 Leon just fine (184 has yet to arrive)

Noticed on the installation disc that came with the cable that there is a .rar installation file containing version 12.12.2.

Anyone tried this version with a Chinese cable?

Don't want to fry the cable:(

Thanks for you help

Hello Ewan,

it is possible to analyse your 12.12.2 version. Pls send me your installation 12.12.2 rar file via some upload/download server.

Thank you in advance.

12.12.2

Hi

When I tried to extract the contents I got a checksum error so it appears that the far file is corrupt so that's the end of that.

I have emailed cobdtrade so I will wait to hear from them

I'm running mine on W7 but not all the software for these cables seem the same.

it have been proven around here that running the software in a virtual machine with WinXP is the best option...

Looking at buying the $18.99 one from aliexpress, do I install the software that comes with it or do I need to download something?

Looks like 12.12.2 is required for the latest builds as 12.12.0 cannot read all the codes correctly egg you can no longer set rear DRL

Be good when current beta is made full version, currently beta 14.6, May be able to do more esp as ross tech now have a MQB plantform car to test on. Rain closing is a definite thing that will work now the RHLS can be coded correctly.
