Hi,

I've bought a bunch of clone cables inluding MPPS v18, KESSV2 master clone and cannot get anything to work!

The MPPS V18 correctly identifies the ECU and seems to *want* to work but fails after about 15 seconds reading. I have read various posts on other forums detailling boot mode and the tricore cable. Anyone care to point me to an idiots guide for this?

I will be sending my base flash files away to get them professionally looked at, returned and then plan to compare original and new files using OLS or similar.

Please don't shoot me down in flames, just trying to learn a bit and get started.

Can't get any joy out of the Golf R MK7 on the drive either, same problem and fails.

Am I really going about this the right way or should I be benching the ECU?

MED17.1.x isn't really best choose for clone tools...
Kess V2 Original do this job. If iam were on clone tools I would use ktag or simlar to read.
Should work. A friend on mine reads with ktag clone without problems, I also had read MED17 ecus but with original ktag.
