(or rewrite the driver, but I'm not going into that).
#VCDS CABLES INSTALL#
You must use the EPT in order to install the USB-KLINE INTERFACE drivers. NOTE! Vag tacho only works with their drivers. I was asked to post this by another member, vag tacho and ept for the cable.

They are intelligent cables, capable of processes on their own. VCDS cables can be flashed, BUT they still have microcontrollers in them. The ept changes the device details to accept alternate drivers. You cant just install the driver as it'll tell you that the driver contains no information for your device. Unless the cable has the "USB to KLINE interface" driver installed, it wont work. For instance-vag-tacho requires a specific driver to work. Putting the ept from one cable onto another makes it a clone. The ept is basically the cables fingerprint.

#VCDS CABLES HOW TO#
Ross-Tech provides a VCP driver link and installation notes about how to set up their usb products for use with third party applications. uninstall the ross-tech USB drivers and check the "delete driver software" box. Programs looking for a serial com port (ARGDUB's me7_95040, VAG K+CAN). This broadens the use of the cable to include programs that use direct usb drivers (VCDS, Nefmoto, Galletto) The KII is all that I have, and I haven’t had any issue connecting to, reading, and flashing (or recovering) my ECU.įirst, we replace Ross-Tech's USB drivers with VCP (Virtual Com Port) drivers. The KII-USB is NOT on the recommended cables list, and it seems that people have had issues connecting with the ME7_ECU_Flasher. Objective: Extend the use of my existing genuine KII-usb FT232r cable. Use your VCDS USB Cable (& software link repository)
