I purchased this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=230541428374&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
The instructions that came with it are for XP ... but I have Vista.
I can't get the cable to work ... The vagcom software simply doesn't recognise the USB interface although the laptop itself recognises the OBD II to USB cable and automatically installs drivers of some sort ... ive tried the "compatibility as XP Service Pack 2 & run as admin" procedure.
Can some one shed some light? really need this working to get some ABS fault codes read.

You tried it on your friends XP? suprised it didn't work on that ...
Does the LED on your cable light up when you plug it in to your laptop? mine doesn't, but then Windows does detect a new hardware has been plugged in, so I suppose thats irrelevant.
The sellers got flawless feedback so im presuming we just have no clue on how to get it to work.
HENCE IM REQUESTING HELP!!!! ...
