The combination of is most famous—or infamous—for odometer correction. In many VAG clusters from the early 2000s (like the VDO generation), the mileage is stored in multiple locations within the 24C128 in a checksum-protected format. A generic OBD tool cannot alter this data. However, an advanced user can download the EEPROM dump, edit the hex values using software like VAG EEPROM Programmer 1.20 (a specific software version), recalculate the checksum, and write the modified data back to the chip. This same process is used legitimately to replace a damaged cluster, reset a “crash data” flag in an airbag module, or disable an immobilizer after an ECU swap.

The KKL cable is typically equipped with an FTDI FT232RL or a CH340 chip. For VAG EEPROM Programmer to recognize the cable, the correct drivers must be installed so that the USB cable appears as a (e.g., COM3, COM4) on your computer. In the software’s "Options" menu, you must select USB or the specific COM port number assigned to your cable. However, an advanced user can download the EEPROM

To interface with the software, you need a (such as the classic VAG-COM 409.1 KKL blue cable) built on either the FTDI FT232 chip or the CH340 chip.
