Its correct. The led will turn on red then green only when you connect to car or power the tool by OBD pins GND (4-5) and +12V (16)
No when you plug it to USB
The tools that make the led turn on when it plugged only in USB that one are sh...ts
If you need to make it works you need a dump for a tool with FTDI RL and a modified software.
The last free version dump and Long Coding working is VCDS 11.11.5 and you can find it in Mr. Fantomel collection

@audiany
The german dump that I saw it for free was long time ago. I will check my database but is for 10.6 or older

There are newer dumps for free and I'm very sure that it will not be
\
And my own opinion.
The VCDS is cheap. Even a genuine one it is.
Ok you will say but I'm using it for my own and from time to time
In this case you can buy a HQ clone upgradable and this is 1/3 from genuine price
The softwares you get it from ross-tech too

Well again you will say that its expencive than a chinese one. But if you count how many times you will buy a chinese one because this one will fail after 2 or 3 use and if you count how many times you are using your tool no pay anything for the diagnostic service you will see that the genuine and the HQ clone has a very cheap price and its worh a lot

This is just my opinion. So please do not start sending me messages from where you can get a genuine tool or a HQ clone because i will ignore this messages.
Good luck
