Make sure the computer recognizes the cable.
Go to Program Options from the VAG-COM main menu.
Select Com port.
Click Test.
A window should pop up saying everything is tested.
Close the window.
Click Apply.
Click Save.
Exit to Main Menu.

Try Again.

its the ebay one. but everyone said it would work. I dont think the computer and the car were communicating. like the comp wasnt recognizing the cable was there. do you have to have the cable plugged in before you start the comp? we got the installation wizard thing but it kept giving an error message. $#!7!

The ebay cables will only work with old versions of the software. Which version did you download
