Title: Cheap Chinese VAG TACHO 2.5 and ept.
Post by: s8s4vw on October 16, 2014, 05:00:37 PM
I was playing around with my VAG TACHO 2.5 USB cable to retrieve my SKC. After many failed attempts I thought to run Tacho 3.01 and the cable stopped working.
The chip is a FT245BL. Can someone please upload the ept file so I can try to revive it?
Thanks.

What are you trying read the skc from? Tacho clones are usually a pos. commander/vageepromtool/argdub's tool are nicer if it's 7.1/7.5

Was trying to read IMMO 2 box 6H0 from a 2000 VW Cabrio. That can not be done over OBD II, but I thought to give it a try with 3.01 and then the Cable got ruined.

Found something useful in another forum. Helped fixing my VAG Tacho 2.5 cable.
Used MProg 3.5 to flash *.EPT to downgrade to v2.2 and updated afterwards with the *.EXE file.
