Trying to flash new tuner software and used my Vag-Com cable to do it a while back. But now my "dumb mode" is greyed out. I'm using version 17.1. I tested the port first but it's still greyed out. My cable is key – USB

My car is a 2003 Audi RS6 if that makes any difference. The cables always worked on the car and still works for VCDS

Don't know what to tell you -- the KEY-USB our records indicate you have (from 2005) powers up in dumb pass-through mode. The Force Dumb Mode option is grayed out because it's not applicable to a KEY-USB -- no force is needed. :)
