[petrik25]

Hi guys,

I am fairly new to vcds so still in learning proces.

cousin gave me his vcds as he changed cars to french makers so i am playing with this new toy.

It is full HEX-USB+CAN but it is one of those fixed. this one is to vcds software 11. 11.3.

thanks

No problem using it whilst driving, you can then log any of the measuring blocks to file and look at the results in Excel or compatible spreadsheet.

I missed the bit about being locked to a specific version, as that does indeed mean a cheap chinese illegal cloan.

 

Free cable or not, Rosstech who manufacture the genuine cable support Briskoda and we do not allow links or discussion of hacked software.

maybe less now i am thinking

I'm afraid the only advice anyone will give you is to throw that cable in the bin, and buy the genuine Rosstech version. The fake cable could wreck your cars electronics.

 

The genuine cable will pay for itself in a matter of weeks, when you consider the price a dealer would charge to just connect their diagnostic equipment.

Right so just to be on safe side better not to use it. specialy now when car is still in warranty.

Sorry mannyo, I didnt know about connection between Rosstech and Briskoda
