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!!!!
