Really sorry but a quick VAGCOM Question!

[chrish22]

you have tried a reboot haven't you??

and i assume nothing else is using com 2?

[Dan n Nic]

Just re-booted, still nothing also i have re-installed and Com 2 wasn't being used by anything else.

God dammit, it is going to be something "REALLY" simple that I haven't done I just know it!

[chrish22]

apologies for suggesting all the obvious stuff - but you have turned the cars ignition on two clicks / or have the engine running.

I think the green light comes on - on mine before the ignition is on - which is msleading!

[Dan n Nic]

I have tried it with the ignition turned 2 clicks, but not with the engine running so will give that a go... Cheers.

So, I have joined the club and also bought one of these, but I am also having problems getting it to work. The disc that it came with was unreadableso I Downloaded the software and have changed the com port, but when i click the test button  I get... Port Status: OK Interface: NOT FOUND??? (& yes it is plugged in LOL)

Any ideas?

have you downloaded the correct version of the software!

Vista Nope, running XP, uninstalled and re-installed again this morning and hey presto, think it is working now, but haven't had time to play as I'm at work.

in general do you just use the Auto-Scan functionor select individual items???

Don't quote me on this, but i don't think so as I think this just reads fault codes, I'm sure someone else will be along at some point to tell you what it is that you do need for this!

[chrish22]

Off the top of my head....

I used one of the auto scans to tell me what modules my car had installed.

The auto scan fault finder only works on the registered version, so I manually goto each module and scan that.

Can't say I've done anything with the airbag module - there is a tick box to not scan it - which I chose as certain cars can mess up even wth doing a read only scan on air bags.

Assuming you load the airbag module I would guess clearing the codes would remove the light.  But the light would soon come back on again unless the problem was fixed.
