help needed getting usb lead to work

[andy_dea]

got a usb lead of ebay like many others, now the usb software off the ross tech website searches for a ross tec lead, which mine is not, any way to get it to read my usb lead?

or a diff version of vag com?


please help

cheers andy

you might need the usb to serial software (should have come with the usb lead)...
then keep trying different software versions, and keep going back in versions till one works....

Let me guess, yet another USB interface from eBay where the seller didn't bother to supply a suitable driver?

Andy, try downloading the drivers from this site...

I bought a lead from Ebay and was told to use these drivers. Works fine for me.

Buy ****, and this is usually what happens, money saved or well spent you be the judge. I bought the Ross Tech usb cable and its been spot on from day one and it earned its cost within 2 months with myself and custardcupra using it. You get what ya pay for.

if you bought your cable from a guy called alpha bid then there is a download section in his auctions for the software...

Should be this link

[EMSCUPRA]

vag com

i also have same problem, iv tried downloading all the links hat have been posted and yet no luck, i have also tried com ports 1 - 4 and usb but no luck, does this need to be pluged into the car to find the usb device?

[m0rk]

No - it should locate the device 'unplugged' from the car

[Big_daddy]

hi i need urgent help! i had bought a serial interface kkl. that worked fine with previous car (audi).
Now i bought a leon. and i replaced my laptop. The problem is that my laptop dosnt have a serial interface. i bought a usb > serial interface from maplins.

The problem i is when i check the engine controller, i get eror msg saying " baud rate error.

Any suggestion will appreciated

 

[BeartheBruce]

Usb to serial converters do not work well with some modules. For that reason, Ross-Tech does not support them as our FAQs state. You need to look at getting a genuine USB interface.

It this is related to your other post, this is the problem, not the Windows version.
