eBay cable and software?
- Thread starter Fraczish
- Start date
I finally got around to ordering a cable from Aliexpress (sold by auto professional) for £11, which was delivered in 13 days. Well impressed.
I got it working on a Windows 7 laptop by changing the date to 1st October, 2013 and disabling the Network adapter to prevent it connecting and trying to update the cable.
I used the supplied software and didn't have any issues with viruses.
So far I've updated:
rear wiper drip wipe
rain closing
de-activate ignition tone when keys are in
display litres remaining in fuel tank
One touch folding mirrors
lap timer
Air Blower speed in Auto
hill control delay
staging
Next up is trying the carbon background and alarm chirp. Is there anything else that might be worth doing?
Thanks for all the info and advice on here, I wouldn't have had a clue otherwise!

Really good work. How could you activate rain closing ? I tried it but could not do. Are there any different codes? If Yes would you please share with us. And did you try rain closing function after activation.
To be fair I hadn't tried the hill control or rain closing (everything else works ok). I've just had a go by pouring water on the sensor and it doesn't raise the windows.
I followed the instructions translated from the German website mentioned in previous posts:
Rain Closing
1. Select 09 – Cent. Elect.
2. Select 16 – Security Access
3. Enter Unlock Code 31347 - Click DO IT! And yes if it brings up other boxes
4. Select 10 - Adaptation
5. Select from drop down - (14)-Access control 2-Regenschlieben
6. Adjust value to permanent- Click DO IT! And yes if it brings up other boxes
It accepted the change and seemed to update. I'll have another play later.

I predicted this result myself. With this 12.12 cable you can change the settings but settings does not affect the action. As you said the Windows does not close. At aliexpress there is another type of cables. I heard that it can activate this rain sensor.
Here is the latest device that can change the settings which can not be changed vag cables.

Didn't want to create a new thread but is there anyone in the Staffordshire (Stoke/Stafford) area that could enable some functions on my cupra? Seems a bit overkill to buy my own cable for something I'm going to do once then never touch again.

Mine arrived - seems to be working fine (although all I've done is read codes so far).
it is the full version , so changes are possible
i have never used it still in its wrapping.
not compatible with the leon mk3 or any other MQB car then. As if it was a ross tech you can update the cable firmware. updating non official cables renders them useless
