I seem to be having issues attempting to connect to my cluster in my 2004 TDI Wagon. When attempting to GetSKC or ReadSoftwareVersion i get a timeout error. Im using a VCDS HEX + CAN clone cable from Total Car Diagnostics that works with VCDS 17.1.3. I can confirm that i can use the cable to connect with this version of VCDS (that they provided) and read data from the cluster and ECU.
Ive uninstalled all drivers for the cable that windows installed, downloaded the VCP drivers and installed it for the cable, enabled "Load VCP" in the device settings, installed them again for the VCP drivers for the unidentified USB serial port that shows up and after doing so it shows as COM3. After this i disabled "boot in intelligent mode", tested, and saved in VCDS, and then unplugged and re-plugged in the cable. After doing these steps i am faced with the error as below.
Anyone able to provide some assistance?
I dont have a VAG-KKL cable unfortunately and since im in Canada the cheapest one on Amazon is like $35-$40. Ill be ordering one from Aliexpress with a CH340T chip unless someone recommends i get the FTDI FT232RL chip instead? Unfortunately this will take almost a month to get to me but is much cheaper at about $10-$15.
