My cable arrived and auto windows WORKS!!!!! I can confirm remote windows works on my 02
Ibiza.
Just a couple of notes to add to the instructions for simpletons like me.
I thought the boot CD you make booted into VDC but it doesn't. You have to type vdc_e (I think it was that, type dir at the prompt and it will show as the only exe in the directory) at the prompt to get the application to run. I guess like me, most people who will attempt this will have some knowledge of a computer and navigating in dos, so would work out do a dir and find the exe. Having found what to run I had another
problem, on my laptop the keyboard layout loaded differed to the actual layout, for example sift+9 gave me a bracket the other way round to the picture on the key and it took a while to find the _ for running vdc_e. Try the / key if you have the same
problem.
Once the program had loaded it could not connect to the controller. I knew it wasn't the cable as VAG-COM had connected earlier. The
problem was the baud rate was on auto detect. From the main screen go to configuration (alt +f) and then connection (press c ). You should get a screen with connection options press f to put a check next to fixed. The rate should already be 9600. Ok and come out back to the main screen, you should now be able to connect to the controllers.
Finally when entering 2 put is as 02, otherwise VDC will crash out. Don't worry write eprom doesn't ask which location in the memory address to put the 2, it puts it at the 1st value.
Many thanks to gtd86 for the instructions and link to download vdc pro.
im sure when i had my ebay cable i could set the com port for it in vista. Il give this a try later today cheers
