Default vag com woes.

Hi,

I bought a hex com USB cable and software off of amazon to lower my suspension. It all worked fine and I dropped it 15mm front and 10mm rear.

I wanted to do the adaption a couple of times to get it perfect, but on the third adaption it all went to pot.

On the third channel 'error security access required' came up in the boxes at the top of VCDS. And now it just does it all the time.....so my car is in limp mode.

I did some research and worked out that I have a cloned cable? Has the cable somehow been disabled by the software?

IM a bit stuck now as I can't calibrate the suspension. Is there anyway to get it back to how it was so I can at least drive it?

Really annoying that people can sell fake stuff to unsuspecting punters like myself.

Thanks,

Paul.
