Yet another thank you. My problem was in two parts. 1, the VAGcom came with a disk which I couldn't get to work (load the driver) so as you suggested I downloaded from the ross-tech site - which worked fine. 2, You showed how to change the COM port, mine was reading 7 - so I changed it to 2. Then it all worked fine.
Worked perfectly with my $20 Amazon VAG KKL adapter in a 2009 Audi A4 Cabriolet 8HE. Didn't need to use the convoluted drivers that where on the CD it came with. Successfully managed to recode my Symphony II+ radio with it to enable Aux input.
*INCOMPLETE/ MISLEADING VIDEO.* Even though the test was successful, he hasn't shown us the system actually working. Even with a successful port test, when you click on all the options there at the end, the cable probably won't work. At least for cars newer than '04 or '05. (Like my 2012 VW Caddy). I have the same cable. The test is successful. But when I click on any of the options that I want to examine, it says 'no response from controller.' Ross-tech are happy to put their software online for a good reason. It needs their specific cable. I could be wrong here but I don't think so.
There's a good chance that VCDS-Lite will not work on any VAG vehicle post 2004. (I don't think that VCDS-Lite software has been updated since the early 2000s.) VCDS-Lite uses what is known as a dumb cable. The full paid version required a special cable incorporating a dongle to stop piracy. That dongle not only ensured that the the copy of VCDS was legitimate by checking the license when it went on-line but if not it corrupted the cable. Hence saying that you should turn off all network connectivity when it is connected. The latest version of VCDS appears to use Bluetooth to connect from your laptop to the OBDII connector doing away with cables completely.
VCDS Lite only works with 2005 and older cars according to Ross-Tech.. is that true? (I wanted to use it to change some of my settings on my 2012 VW T5) ?
Hey,a bit of help here. This is where am stuck.... Port Does Not Exist, Interface Not found. I've tried switching between COM1 and COM2 since COM3 and COM4 are in use , but outcome is the same when I press Test!
With VAG COM lite can I activate basic things to a 2009 Audi a4 prestige, such as open/close windows with unlock and lock buttons on key, concerning fog lights, Enable Ambient Interior Lighting Control, needle sweep, adjust LED brightness.
I’m trying to get one to turn off Day Running Lights and turn off the driver’s seatbelt light which constantly comes on bc of a malfunctioning sensor. Can I access those parameters with this?
you should put a link to buy the vcds lite licence, i bought it after watching this. $99 0r £78 in my case best buy ever. i had to bleed abs pump on my mk4 golf. now i can put my windows up and down with my key fob.
Hi i have PROBLEM not work CAN, i don’t no but ENGINE work the led is green, cable is HEX+CAN Ross-Tech, can not get in (Central.Elect.09) but in (Central Conv.46) yes can.

After installing the drivers and doing everything l can't find the cable in the device manager. Or rather is does not show as port but under other units then USB2.0-serial. what does that mean? Can't update drivers manually by choosing the folder, please help

Hei! Jeg ser du har samme utstyrspakke som meg på Audien din. Jeg er litt irritert over at den ikke viser forbruk (L/100km). I de andre utstyrspakkene så ligger dette på både rattet og på en knapp på vindusviskerkontrollen.

Does VCDS Lite work with 2006 Audi A3? Looks like you have an Audi of about that year in the video. I was told my A3 was too new to work with VCDS Lite and the KKL cable

have you got the cable in to the car? i got this error until testing whilst connected to the car. check device manager / ports / look what number port it is 1,2,3,4, etc, then make sure you test with the correct port selected. I have a £5 ebay cable and a licenced VCDS lite, i can do everything i need with that
Hi, i had the same problem. I download the driver from link in description, then i run Driverhub. Drivierhub find this driver and we just need cilck "instal". Computer must run again and now, in device manager the cabel is reading properly. Try this, maybe it would help to you.
Thanks a lot, I have my ebay cable setup correctly with my 2003 Jetta Diesel. When I open VCDS-Lite, I click on "Select" in Control Module, then click on "01-Engine", it tries to communicate and fails after a few seconds and shows an error "too many errors...". Any idea how to fix that? Thanks.

VCDS-lite has limited functions vs full version. U cant adapt or recode modules with lite. U can check fault codes and clear them. VCDS-Lite shows all the DTC's but gives description only on 1st faultcode.
If you don't know how to change com port settings, just install the software into another laptop - you'll be unlikely to find two configuring it as COM6. Alternatively, go into your computer bios (at startup) and disable all COM ports. Then uninstall both driver and software, before restarting and re-installing. That'll do it. You can always re-enable the BIOS COM ports afterwards, if you really do need serial comms for anything?
