Vcds won’t connect to b7 cc

[Roysnail]

Hi..can’t get vcds to connect to 2016 vw cc
Even on auto scan it comes up with message-l function not supported by the gateway”
Connector flashing blue, updated software & hardware & works perfectly on my 2011 Passat.

any ideas?

Version of VCDS?
Type of interface cable/lead?
What are the exact results when you do [Options] -> [Test] with everything plugged in?

Actually

Sounds like the fuse supplying power to the OBD-II port is blown.

Thanks mate, I will check it out..if I can find it.

Fuses SC4 and SC13 are for the OBD port, located in the driver side dashboard fusebox.

Ahh..seemed to post that twice

 

[Roysnail]

I’m intrigued about this, is it the voltage of the key battery?
Vbat:0.11v vlgn:0.01v

No.

Fusebox is behind the dash end cover.

Dumb question time - does the B7 CC actually have a CAN Gateway?

None of the B7 A4's I've owned had a CAN Gateway, you had to manually select the platform type to do an Auto-Scan.

You're mistaking the Passat CC, and more particularly the facelift (just) CC for an Audi A4

I did say it was a dumb question

Just seems strange that both are described as a B7 but are fundamentally different, but then VAG have always done strange things

Things got a bit out-of-synch. The "B7" A4 really should have been referred to as a B6.5. I mean it shared the same platform and even chassis code (8E) as the B6.

And of course the B6 and on Passats have a transverse drivetrain, whereas the A4s have always been longitudinal. So yes, fundamentally different.
