Moreover, if I give a look to the its hardware properties, I found out the following:USB\VID_0403&PID_FA24&REV_0600
#Vcds 12.12 driver driver#
Please also note that when I now connect the cable to my VW car the led turns on (green color) but if I only connect the cable to the netbook the led is off (no red or green color) though the cable appears as "Ross-Tech direct usb interface" with driver version 2.8.14.0 on device manager, is it normal? I do not know if this was also regular ?!? I have also to tell you that this cable since the beginning never did a complete auto-scan of my car modules but it worked by checking the individual modules. I also first noticed before this warning an odd behaviour during vcds connection to the car: initially it started giving me for more than a couple of time a "failure to communicate" error but after some attempts it started working fine receiving data from the car (ECU) but now I always have the "not plugged into car" message. Unfortunately, recently I have probably forgotten for some minutes my wifi on and now I always get the here attached error: "not plugged into car" warning message.

It worked fine for a couple of years (always on my netbook with WindowsXp pro sp3 with wifi off + Avira AV always disabled and pc-time always set to April 1st,2013). I'd kindly need your help: I have got a china cable v.12.10 with software 12.10.3 beta.
