Vag-com on Vista

[ScottHmk4]

i think ive found my problem, ive been tryin to use my house computer up stairs and extending the cable down my window to the runway using usb extensions as i dont have a laptop so heres the setup

computer.......................usb extension 5m............usb extension (2) 5m.......vag com cable.......car

but its only stalling properly with computer.........vag cable.....then im guessing will be fine with car

but this doesnt reach so why does these extensions not work!!!!

[Damoegan]

It cant be done mate. I was looking at doing it and even asked Ewu from Ross Tech and he said it cant be done ob the mk4 Ibiza.

 

[ScottHmk4]

Interesting Let me know if you figure it out then mate
