Hi, Noob here,
Forgive me if I have missed something, but I haven't found an answer to my problem yet.
After installing FStools it all seem to work fine, I plugged into car using DCan and pressed connect, reported that it had established connection, set parameters for 1B, entered donor vin, and then tried to read FSC status, no luck, tried Check_fsc, no luck. error codes were 2020 and 1708.
Funny thing is, I disconnected the cable from the car and fstool still establishes a connection.
I am obviously missing something.
Any suggestions please.

That is expected. The successful FSTool connection you see is to the car server service running on the pc/laptop.
The best way to check is by using one of the functions like GET_VIN etc, CHECK_STATUS etc.

Do you have any other tools that you can use to check the DCan connection? INPA, NCSExper etc?

I had ISTA+ and ISTA P running on the DKan cable, but since my first post I have broken it. Now I don't know what I have done, something I did with EDIABAS.
So, I will now rebuild my computer and start again.

FSTOOL install issues.. Try to use Dr gini Instead..

As per your advise I downloaded and installed, but also have connection problems. Just to add a little background and what I know so far.
My 2011 123d came with a retrofitted CIC has an emulator connected with options for camera and camera pda ticked.
After weeks of pulling my hair out I was able to get into the unit for the files needed for 1B. I could only get these using an asix adapter and winSCP. ftp'ing with firefox did not work.
I managed to generate necessary fsc codes for both single and life activation but they were not accepted, I confirmed that these codes were correct from a contact on ebay.
So I think my CIC is script activated hence these programs.
I am sure as soon as I can find out what I am doing wrong I will be able to get in.

Cheers

Hello all,
Does anyone know if it possible to connect using the center console or glovebox usb, using an ethernet adapter. (I managed to retrieve "generalPersistencyData_DiagnosticSWTController" file using this method, as my cars OBDII has not been wired for enet. I note that in fstool on the connect screen option seem to be set on K-Can.
Thanks in advance.
