But there was never any pirated software installed.ĭo you deny that you have code in your software that is deliberately placed there to damage suspected counterfeit interfaces? Do you further deny that it is impossible for that code to have a hiccup if a generic cable and a RT cable were both connected to a computer at the same time? non ross-tech) cable was used on the computer. If we are talking about the same case, then the concern was that a generic (i.e. Why would I when I own a legitimate license (even beyond the cable I was borrowing, I have my own Micro-CAN). There has never been *any* cracked or pirated VCDS software installed on my computer. It was used with the most recent *beta* version downloaded directly off of your website last week. Unfortunately for you, this interface was not used with cracked or pirated software. Thank you for immediately accusing me of using pirated software. RT - if you're reading this, what assurance do I have that, if I pay the exorbitant repair fee, that your software won't brick the cable on the very next use? I can't be the only person this has ever happened to - do you just leave all of your legitimate customers out to dry? Ross-tech isn't willing to help us (without helping themselves) because the cable is a few years old - they want $150 to service a cable that was most likely damaged by a problem in their own software.ĭoes anyone out there have any experience with this? Is there any way to repair the cable, short of shelling out $150 to RT? I would wager that the code VCDS uses to fry fake cables malfunctioned and bricked this perfectly legitimate cable. I don't know if there's any truth to that, but it seems consistent with what I experienced. I read somewhere that the newer versions of VCDS have some code in them that tries to detect counterfeit cables and damage the internal memory. I've tried reinstalling VCDS and the drivers, to no avail. I then unplugged and replugged the cable, and now its no longer recognized in windows.

But then if I went back into the module, the settings had reverted.Īfter that happened a couple of times, I all of a sudden got a message saying that my cable did not have a valid license. While trying to change the CAN gateway coding, I noticed that the settings wouldn't keep - I would make a change, hit 'do it' and get a coding accepted message. I borrowed my friend's hex-can cable to do some coding in my car.
