PROBLEM Vgate vLinker FS USB obd2 remote start encoding!

Post by Marek Dudojc »

Nice day.

At the beginning I wanted to say that the Vgate vLinker FS USB obd2 cable is a great cable and any updates with this cable are a pleasure. Forscan 2.4.5 beta3 + Vgate.

The cable has the latest firmware from your site.


What should I do, today I had a strange situation that after learning the remote start key (standard 2 keys + new for remote start) in the mondeo mk5 2015, the cable would not connect to the car. It only read a few modules and the rest was red (I had already saved the vehicle profile so it should be blinking). I've tried reconnecting and restarting my laptop a few times but nothing helps.

I tried another Obdlink-ex cable and this cable read all the modules as it should. With this cable I have completed the coding of the key. Then, out of curiosity, I reconnected Vgate vLinker FS and then it read all the modules.

I have to admit that I was helpless and happy that I had another cable.


Could it be that there are some bugs in cable or forscan software? It's not the first time I'm doing this and with obdlink-ex I've never had such a problem.

I would like some feedback if there is a way to fix this error (e.g. with a new forscan software? ). I used Forscan 2.4.5 beta3. I also wrote cable manufacturer (Vgate) and they said that it is not the cable but the Forscan and that I am the first with such errors.

I hope that this problem can be solved somehow.

My Vlinker FS USB is unusable too, I always use my OBDLink EX, I think it may have something to do with the USB compatibility with my laptop, but having said that, the laptop knows it is there and I can also update the firmware relatively easily.

I updated a lot with the cable and everything was ok. No matter which modu IPC, PSCM, FCIM, ACM, DSP and and... The problem, as I said, was only with the remote start key coding. I want to keep an eye on it now to see if it will be the same next time
