Have you read post #12 on page 1? Thats how I got it working.
I have vag com installed on my laptop, i have the usb to serial cable, and have installed the driver. I plug it in to the cupra as an engine man light has come on and then do a full scan........ once its done that what do i do????
Ive tried to erase all DTCs but it then says about a registry, what the hell is this? I called a mate and he says i need a crack code. Anyone know where to find this and what to do next?????
Please help ive had a bloody bad day, lost my job, skint and im thirsty.

Just skimmed this thread. Thought it was worth mentioning that COM3 on laptops tends to be used for the modem if its equipped with one - COM2 is the safest bet usually. People who have newer laptops with no physical COM port would also get away with using COM1.
I'm gonna order me an ebay special cable to have a look at the shareware version of vagcom to evaluate it against my needs.

If you scan just the engine then you can clear the DTC's with the shareware version
doing a full scan wont allow you to clear all codes at onces so with the shareware you need to go through one section at a time and clear
think thats right anyway
Cracks arent allowed or advertised on this forum so you wont be answered on that part of the post

Hmmm, can't seem to get the app to start with Win 7 64bit or Vista 64bit. Set as XP SP2 and administrator, but just crashes straight away?
Anyone else managed it? Or is it not going to fire up unless 32bit OS?

Hey you probably get clueless nobodys like me here all the time but its worth a shot, im running windows vista, vag-com 311-2 with a elm 323 obd2 cable( usb to obd2 ), im running vag-com in admistrator and compatability mode xp sp2. downloaded the drivers as per instructions earlier in the thread but it keeps saying im upto date, everytime i change the port it reads " interface status: 5-modem, no matter what port i set it too it reads the same message and all the other ports are inaccessible. Any help would be appreciated guys.
Hey, I just bought this: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/USB-VAG-COM-4...ment?hash=item35a1093ca3&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14
Ive installed the drivers ok and everything, but nothing on the software works. Im running it on vista and whenever I click on something like '01 Engine' it comes up with 'vagcom has stopped working' and then closes down....my friend has exactly the same version but a lot of his functions work on the program :S Any ideas?

Well the ver I have doesn't like 64bit, runs ok on 32bit but won't have any of it on 64bit........

Has anyone managed to install and register this on Windows 7 32-bit yet?
I want to buy it but I don't fancy downgrading for it. I tried running the shareware version through an XP vmware image and that worked... once.
Have considered having a Windows XP usb stick and booting XP off that to save any compatibility issues. It'll be slow to boot but should be fine once up and running.
If you try to register VAG-COM will it base the code off the hardware or does it include the OS? (i.e. can you muck about with OSs after you've got a reg code I don't know how it works...)
