Ross-Tech Cable HEX-V2 FAKE???

[Edition30#1536]

Right I’m new to all this Ross-Tech Business & bought a cable of EBay which cost me £220 would like to know if it’s a fake? It’s got written on the dongle HEX-V2 DUAL-K & CAN USB Interface for VCDS H10-000000 Assembled by: WWW.Ross-Tech.com. Also written on the rear as Car Diag Info: wiki.Ross.Tech.com

As a sticker on the side of it saying WARRANTY PROTECTION
DO NOT REMOVE & A NUMBER 034250 EBAY ITEM 192422943842

Any help would be much Appreciated

If you make an autoscan and mention the serial number, it is probably possible for the ross tech people to verify it being genuine (or not).

I seen HEX V2 on alli**** for a short time , hard to say if is HEX CAN with V2 cover or not.
Post s/n , so they can see how many "bothers and sisters" it have

It's not V2. It's regular hex-can clone shit.

Throw in garbage and start a ebay case with seller.

I guess the seller should be clear about what kind of VIN configuration you´re buying, since there are different offers from RossTech?

Post an Auto-Scan and few photos of this unit, please.

Definitely Fake.

Additional checks (just to convince yourself):

Plug it in. Do [Options] -> [Test]. What does VCDS identify the interface as? A real HEX-V2 identifies as follows:



Note: "Type: HEX-V2", CB and FW versions, and the last line with VBat and VIgn voltages.

Also: Feel free to post the serial number that VCDS shows on the About screen.

Agreed.

Throw in garbage and start a ebay case with seller.

Throwing it away is probably not the best advice. It should be retained as evidence.

"Status: Questionable"

This always worries me. I've accepted it as the norm - but why 'Questionable'?

[Boki Ar]

Don't worry. Just plug in car and all will be fine.
