Is it a genuine cable or a clone?
Sure there is a cheaper way or cable that can work. did you have this problem??
Anyone else have any ideas ??
I've got a Hex-Can cable running the latest version of the VCDS software (v14.10.2). I paid £260 for it last year and for the things I've needed to use it for it's already paid for itself.
With the pirate cables you can't update the software. You're stuck with using an old cracked version that is supplied on a CD with the cable. So other than the risks associated with using cracked software, you also get left behind on an old version of the software that won't support newer vehicles.
