Bit of Vagcom help needed.
« on: 29 April 2010, 14:03 »
My ebay vagcom cable has been found by the 409.1 software issue of VCDS, no problems there. However when i then try and run a scan of the controllers or autoscan etc nothing responds and I get the message "controller not responding".

Do I need to adjust the Protocol Options to get the program to talk to my car? or is there something else i can try.

Having read many other threads i thought the hardest bit would be getting the cable to register!! I'm using windows XP if that helps.

Please help, my car needs it!!

In VCDS/VAGCOM options menu change the BAUD rate from 9600 to 4800.

But for the purest engine experience, displacement has no replacement. All other methods are simply attempts to artificially recreate the benefits of displacement.
