Have you installed a USB driver?

Have tried another USB port?

Yes to both.

Everything listed there is how i've got it.

i'm all out of ideas :confused:

Well, if you think you went through all the suggestions, have you contacted the seller/vendor of that hardware for support yet? They have you money and should be able to tell you what the problem is or take the POS back.

that will be my next step, i'll try giving it another go tomorrow,

cheers.

first of all what version windows you running??what version vag com you running?

usually the cable driver comes on a disc??did you get a disc?

it should be able to work ok...although only for checking fault codes....

but at least it's a start...

i'll try and help you if i can.....

if i remember correctly the usb port on the software interface does'nt work...you have to use one of the com ports...because the driver is virtual com port for the usb..

if you get the com port right you make contact with your car.....does'nt seem to work with vista to well

have another look and see what happens

this is on ver409 vagcom.....i'm using com 3 on mine.....this was on ebay version which came with driver...[http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/D2XX.htm...for using usb tru com port]

my computer talk maybe inaccurate but with a closer look you'll get it....

yep thats got it, all working fine now.

thanks all for the help.
