Problems with VAG-COM.

Post by Arotished » Wed Oct 06, 2010 11:39 am

Hi all

I have bought a VAG-COM cable (USB to OBD2) but I'm having trouble seting up the virtual R232 port on my laptop so I cant communicate with the car.

Is there a good procedure out there, step by step? I tried to use the instruction but I just cant get it to work.

What program do your guys use to monitor engine data?

Probably a cheap ebay cable.

Any link to a genuine cable?
