You have an older, Micro-CAN interface. Did you check the "Install USB Drivers for Legacy Interfaces" option in the installer?

If not, please re-install and check that box this time.

Hi! I'm using Windows 10. I have purchased HEX-V2 from Ross-Tech. It used to work months ago but after reinstalling VCDS it sais Interface not found. I have been through lots of threads.
Green light when i plug it in computer (car unplugged).

I have tried Installing Legacy Drivers, didn't help.
Disabling Windows firewall and Antivirus Software doesn't help either.
When i click LEDs button it sais Port Status: OK, LED Test Complete.

VCIConfig Application prompts Interface must be connected, try replugging it. Replugging doesnt help.

Could anyone help?

Just one green light?

Are you sure you're using the real Ross-Tech interface you have rather than the clone you also have?

Yes, just 1 green light.
I have purchased it directly from Ross-Tech. I still have the receipt. The images should verify that it is original. I could disassamble it and post pictures of the circuit board if necessary.

Hmmmm, :confused: not absolutely sure, but that interface picture does not look like a genuine interface.

What exactly does not look genuine? It was shipped from Ross-Tech. Would a picture of its circuit board proof its genuineness?

The serial number H10-000000 and the sticker 20.4 EN+DE. That's absolutely a clone.

Find the real one you bought from us. The serial number on that one starts with H11- and ends in 349. I'm confident it will work more better. ;)
