Try 18.9.1 :D
Try different car to be sure that it's not a problem with cable.

It would also be helpful to know what kind of cable and what kind of car.

If it has a software version number (e.g. 18.2) on the interface, there's a 99.999% chance of it being an illegal clone.

If you want support it's time to buy a genuine cable

Any cable that comes with a CD is almost certainly a clone - because it can only work with the hacked version on the CD.

Genuine VCDS is free to download and update as long as you own the cable, so there is no need for a CD :thumbs:

I believe some of our distributors do still ship CDs. I'm not sure why they do that since it's been quite a few years since laptops came with optical drives. However, none of them use little "Panda" CDs.
