Auto closing windows done with serial VAG-COM!

[sjolliff]

i put all the files on the cd, then booted up, but went into windows xp
when i went into the cd i clicked on the vag bat file. and VDS PRO was running in ms dos but within windows!
will it still work like this?

EDIT
found out it wont work through xp
and the cd is not working due to no usb cd drivers in dos
so i need an old laptop with a cd drive built in

 

[sjolliff]

did you use a floppy or cd?

 

[Keir]

A bootable CD isn't used within windows.

put the CD in shut down the laptop then power it back on, then it should ask if you want to boot from disc.

I use a CD image, but it will fit on a floppy if you have a laptop with a floppy drive instead. You could even install DOS on the hard drive and copy the software on there, if you have no other use for the laptop.

 

[ChrisGTL]

Make sure the floppy and cdrom are given boot priority over the hard drive in your BIOS options.

Someone has compiled the VDS_PRO so it will load the interface automatically, and defaults to the right COM port options.

Works perfectly on mine with a cheapy ebay serial cable.

Auto Close Windows

Hi there. I'm new to this site. I've been reading about opening and closing the windows from the remote control. It seem's like a great idea, so much so i don't know why all cars just don't do it. I've read that i need a serial cable. This is my problem. i have no computer in the house that has a serial cable. Is there anyone who is able to do this for me? i don't mind driving too far. I live in Kent. The car is a 1.9 tdi sportrider.

One other thing i'd like to ask your gurus is this. my wife likes to drive the car sometimes and she has this annoying habit of driving with her seat belt off. Is there a way an audible beep can sound until she puts it back on?

Phil

Slimy, just saying a huge thanks for your guidance the other week. G
eventually got the lead which you advised on and works a treat, a bit daunting at first but really quite easy once you've done it.
Thanks bud

oh just incase there's anybody in my area who wants this setting up just ask
I drink bud or heineken by the way

 

[Slimy]

Good to hear you got it sorted!

Will this work on a 2004 Leon cupra tdi?

Will you do it for me for beer tokens?

Well, if you want to wander over to Wolverhampton I can sort it out for you. I'm just North of the M54 junction 1.

The success or failure does depend on the ECU that your car has, but we can give it a go.

Should anyone need this done in the London / Essex / Hamprshire region let me know!
