Car wont code.

Cdutch513 · 08-15-2013, 12:30 PM

So today I met up with a fellow member on this website to code my car. It shows that the car is connected but when he tried to start coding it wouldn't work. What could cause this? He said it has to do with the cable being too old and only being able to connect to 2009 and below. It is the K DCAN cord. Could that be the problem for it not coding?

It could be. If he has a k+dcan it will work if he removes solder between pins 7&8. Some k+dcan cables come with this for whatever reason.
