After that you have a normal working Windows machine, but it is working within your Mac Os, meaning you can switch desktops while you're on it. iso file to install Windows the usual way. You just install the app and the plugins, after that you 'make' a new machine (press button 'make a new machine'), start it (it simulates starting a real computer), and then you can use either a DVD or a downloaded. Though given my main Mac is now an M1, I can’t really run windows VMs on it either (and ARM builds are sorta tricky to find I think?) so I just use a PC laptop I have from work.In terms of ease I definitely wouldn't be afraid of the Virtualbox thing.

Just use the virtual machine on my Mac for scanning/logging/etc. Instead I just plug it into my desktop PC and update it there the. VirtualBox isn’t good about automatically passing through those alternate ids when it goes into flash mode for the updater so I honestly gave up for fear of bricking my cable.

Sent from my iPhone using Audizine ForumOh yea that’s what I would have suggested. Once I clicked there, I was able to go back to the vm ports/devices manager and add a second filter for the new device ID that appears while the firmware update is going. For anyone stumbling across this in the future, while the ie software was attempting to update the dongle firmware, I had to look in “devices” from the top menu bar while in virtualbox, and a new device appears there (but only if you look at the right time).

Assuming Maestro does something similar it should work but it might take some finagling.I know this thread is ancient, but any chance you could elaborate on the process of whitelisting the alternate device IDs for IE in virtualbox? Or point me in the direction of some relevant reading material? Thanks!! Once I did that it worked flawlessly for flashing my Q5 and my buddy's B8 Allroad. With IE's tuner, the software would configure the cable into a special mode to update its firmware which caused Virtual Box to drop it and not automatically recognize it until I figured out what was happening and whitelisted the alternate mode's device ID. I think MS realized it was better to have people using unlicensed windows than having people run activation hacks and likely infect their machines with virulent malware.Īs far as running Eurodyne, possible could work, it depends on how their software and cable interface with the USB subsystem.
