Vag Cable

[TDIMAXIMA]

I have a OEM Ross-tech usb cable. I used to think it was normal, but mine always cuts out every few seconds. Im lucky if it stays connected for more then half a minute. Its been finicky like this since day one. Ive tried multiple laptops, multiple cars, and always the same result. Only a handful of times has the software stayed connected to the cable for more then a minute. Any advice?

Do you get a connection error or controller not available?
How old is the cable? May have a broken wire, if you have a multimeter pin out each wire for contiuity

It's a USB to OBD interface and a dongle, much more than just a cable. Can't really test it with a meter.
