So they are now very careful and they ensureit with this alerts and feautures. Chinesse seller has many claims for a killed cables There is a script which alert you when you double click to icon of VCDS on desktop to disconnect by internetġ. USB driver is modified to old type (FT232)Ģ. (when you download official Rosstech VCDS 12.12.0 installer there is option to use standart or special USB driver but it not for the old version of clone cable), so Chinese engineers build their own installation package where they installed some feauters :ġ. The old Usb controller has old USB driver which is not supported with new versions of VCDS installers. Old version is very susceptible to kill with newer version of VCDS (where is blacklisted). I repeat in short : VCDS clone cable with version 12.12.0 ENG must be use with VCDS same version or older but in english mutation. If you have English cable you must use english version of VCDS and so on. The license of any cable (encrypted serial number in ATMega eeprom) is coding to only one language mutation. There is one more problem and it is a language mutation of software what you use. This is reason why you must use only paired or older version like paired with clone-cable. When you start VCDS and use, it compare your serial with blacklisted and if there is present on blacklist VCDS send some command to CPU and rewrite EEprom so the cable is killed. If there is any cable (its serial number) hacked, they has a blacklist and every hacked serial number of cable is presented on new version of VCDS.

Every Cable has unique serial which is encrypted on Eeprom of ATMega. There is a new version with CPU (D79F8513A but I think there is an AtMega and this mark is chinese try to mistify us), but with new USB controller (on my clone there isn any mark and nothing visible on the chip) There is old version with Atmel AT Mega and FT232 USB controller sometimes with Gal sometimes without gal and 7805 stabilisator.)Ģ. The general difference is on the USB controller.ġ. There are most modifications of this clones but minimal 2 main version of HW. I tested it today on computer with internet connection so I have this Idea (if you not agree with me please reply) :
