The OBDII 16PIN cable that hooks between the XTOOL VAG401 OBDII and the car is a straight thru cable. There are no components in the back shell of the OBDII connector. The other end has a 15 pin male d-sub connector.

Keep in mind when purchasing a vcm2 that there are look alike ones out there that
Look here: good VCM2 with 2 boards:
Which IDS software version for VCM2 clone SP177-C1?
If you want aVCM2 SP177-C1, IDS V100 software will come with the unit.
But if you have a VCM2 clone already and the unit is HQ clone (same as units inhttp://www.obdexpress.co.uk/producttags/vcm2.html), you have luck with the latest IDS version 04-2018
The newest IDS compatible with VCM2 SP177C1 is version IDS 109:

VCM2 IDS USB device, language, license, drive issues (Advice/Suggestion)
Here are some advice and suggestion for yourVCMII IDStool,
- try with V86 versión, when I plug in the USB give me this error"unknown USB device"...
- download VMWare V93 from this fórums it
- try to install V92 like I saw
But even I put 31/10/2014 it says"no valid license"
note: I have format several times and tried with W7 Ultimate, W7 starter, W7 Pro... and always the same. Never works even if I always have in the BIOS the same date: October 31th of 2014
I cant
Advice & Suggestion:
IDS saves information to the master boot record of the hard drive, just reinstalling windows won't fix it. Either purchase a genuine license or you have to delete the hard drive partitions to rebuild the MBR and then reinstall windows. It is much easier to acquire VMWare Workstation 10 / 11 to install a copy of Windows 7 that you will use solely for IDS as you can make backup copies in case you goof up something.
What date you use is irrelevant as long as you continue to use the same date. Start with IDS version 91 -> upgrade to 94 (Use theVCM II
Maybe you could have a try
