Got good feedback, but is really cheap for the part isn't it?

 

[Hitcher]

Thats the one I got and worked ok with the demo software.

That was until I fitted my Parrot Hands Free kit and it stopped working ???

 

[DPJ]

I bought that one from that ebay seller. Faultless piece of kit.

 

[cordobabrendy]

mine was very similar too, its not worth buying the expensive rosstec ones if you have an older copy of vagcom as itll do the same job.

Looks fine to me m8

 

[Pabs]

yep - agreed. Should work fine.

Have you all got serial ports? Has anyone used this with a USB - Serial convertor?

Matt

 

[Pabs]

[cordobabrendy]

I've got an RS232 PCMCIA card in.

I bought mine from that seller and it worked fine with the freebie software.

That was on my old Passat though, haven't tried it on my Toledo yet (haven't needed to - everything works!)

i've got a Belkin USB/Serial converter and run VAG-COM with a serial cable. Absolutely no problems whatsoever.

Make sure you've got the correct drivers for your version of windows for the converter (free from the Belkin website) and that you select the correct COM port in VAG-COM (you can find the port address in hardware manager).

Thanks that was the answer I was looking for. I've already got a Belkin convertor.

I might give the serial one a go.

cheers to you all for the vital plug.
i'll feel confident to get one
