By 2021, a specific hardware battle reached its peak. Ross-Tech introduced a new generation of protection on their genuine interfaces, focusing on the microcontroller. This led to a surge in searches for "VCDS ATMEGA162 reflash 2021" —a process that promises to revive outdated or bricked clone interfaces.
: A "real" ATmega162-based cable. Note that newer STM32-based clones use a different process.
