Okay I can't get this program to work. I purchased this OBDII cable from ECS.

I downloaded driver software from this site and version 2.08.08.

I then downloaded VCDS-Lite release 1.1 which is at the bottom of this webpage.

I extraced the files from the folder for the driver and installed and my computer recognized that it was a serial to USB converter.

When I run a auto scan it keeps running and opening new ports. So I closed the scanning and did the OBDII check and it gives me this error.

Car is NOT ISO/OBD-II Compatible! IF this car is a VW/Audi/Seat/Skoda Try SELECT > Individual Controllers.

I can't find this Individual Controllers option.

Anyone familar getting this program running because I am lost.

 

First of all, what Windows version?

 

With that cable you'll need to find vagcom 409.1. Does it at least test properly in the options menu? With these cheap cables it's not plug and play, you gotta play with port settings and stuff.

 

vista

 

what do you mean test properly? I was able to find the correct COM port and it acted like it was able to read the cable in that COM port. When I go to test it keeps searching for something and will got to a different number of a port or terminal or something.

 

There should be an option to choose USB in the options menu.

at least there is on mine but I have the full version

 

no i dont have that option

 

i thought there was a software avaiable from Ross-Tech that is free. If I am wrong on that chance are that is why it isn't working.

 

does anyone have any clue? I really need to pull codes off my car because it is not running good at all.

 

32-bit or 64-bit Vista? Have you checked the device properties for the USB-serial converter device?
