Only thing I can suggest is getting someone in the area with genuine or other VCDS to try the coding for you...
The fact that coding the SCCM took a while to do and that the Engine wont code at all tells me your cable is at fault, especially since it isn't genuine..
Mike, be glad I didn't post this one I found.....
I love this thread
You mean the pic isn't really of MikeGood work Mike!
Fill us in then............ Anything like the above pic?
You mean the pic isn't really of Mike
So its the original 8P old wheel/airbag type.
Ok I may have some further info, but may not apply to this issue, 1st have you got a screen dump of when you got the error pop up, 2nd what version of vcds did you use Mike?
solution vas pc
I got cruise installed, but not entirely sure why it didnt work, so testing to do on my car later.
Nah mate thats what I got from the last 2 weeks
I realise I am not worthy but WTF do you mean ? lol
No offence mate but that's '********' lmfao
vas is the dealer diagnostic
you can buy the kit but its a lot more than vcds and I mean a lot more, cost me £900 without the lap top, thats just the oem head unit and software

Vas can do something vcds can do & vice versa, but vas is thousands legitimately, so unless you have a lottery win forget it.
yes it can
yes you can if your trade buts its very hard to get a dealer to supply then there is the license activation as well
vcds is very limited on information and its just a copied software program of vas self diag with additional long code helper
i have both but i dont pull my self off over vcds as it has limitations when using it for diagnostics on daily basis
diyers love it but to me its limited and ross tech are some way behind with log files
i use it for speed and long code helper is very good as vas coding from 2008 (not all control units) is via svm online server so no byte descriptions are available
if your professional you need both, if your a fiddler you can use vcds for all your twiddling lol
earning a living and ******* around are very different things
