VAG COM on Windows Vista

Hi all:Blush:
Just registered with this site, its great.

Does anyone have any drivers for a USB to OBD 2 lead for Windows Vista?

I bought a cheap lead from ebay ELM 323 with SO9141 and KWP2000 protocol to use with VAGCOM 3.11

Cars a 04 plate Sharan tdi

Cheers for any help received
Marc

If its a non standard cable the drivers are usb to serial converter (built into lead) I used the same one I used on xp. I use Vista and have registered version of Vag-com. You want to use version 409 with Vista and that lead.

Hi

I have the same lead with Vista however VAG-COM version 409.1 keeps crashing and not responding. Ross-Tech will only officialy say that the version 7 will work FULLY with Vista. Any idea how I can get version 409.1 setup on Vista?

You need to right click on the VAG-COM icon and click properties, then the shortcut tab. On that window there is a 'advanced button' click and select 'Run as administrator'

Basically Vista Runs all programs with lower privileges, but VAG-COM need to create file within it own program directory. So by setting the program to run at the highest level all works well.

I have this setup with no issues ;)

When you say you can't do alot, what exactly, if it not registered then you can't use the basic setting etc. I registered mine for $99(£50) and i can do alot of stuff:D

I want to be able to program it so I can set the door to lock automaticly, alarm to cherp ETC

I understand that this cant be done with the cable I have?

I have a cable from ebay and with the registered version 409.1 I can set the doors to locks, match in keys and any other basic settings ;)
