Title: Newbie help! Post by: christtnorwich on October 07, 2012, 11:16:54 AM Hi everyone, this forum is ace! But I have a few questions, I have a Audi tt 225 which has a bad remap done by the old owner, my mission is to revert the ecu to stock, I have a cable and the software from this site but can't seem to make a connection to my ecu, maybe is using the software wrong, should it auto connect of do I need to load my ecu file? or the map maybe locked by the mapper?
Any help with getting my mission completed would be really appreciated When I plug in and open the programme nothing happens? Many thanks Title: Re: Newbie help!

At the top you select the communication protocol, baud rate (mine is set to 124800), and with your cable connected select it from the device list. You may have to hit "refresh devices" to see it. After that, select "slow init" from the desired connection speed toolbar, and hit connect (I suppose if you bought the premium features you could select "fast init".
That should get you connected. If you're used to running scanning software, these options are relatively standard. Good luck, I'm a newbie myself. I did a lot of reading before posting anything, mainly because people on this forum appear to be very proud of their work, and will not expend any effort for those who do not make an honest attempt before asking for help. Good luck! Title: Re: Newbie help! Post by: christtnorwich on October 07, 2012, 12:21:43 PM Thanks so much for your help :) I use vag com and have a blue eBay cable, my cable won't appear in the device list! Should I pull the dashpod fuse?

Sounds like you either need to reinstall the drivers, or change the com to a lower port in control panel. I know many programs will only look for an interface in ports 1-4. Mine is set at 2. FWIW, I have the all blue ebay cable, and the blue with silver cord.

Title: Re: Newbie help! Post by: madswp on October 08, 2012, 01:42:57 PM i also fist bought a random blue ebay vagcom cable. it didnt support the ftdi driver. i suppose you have to make sure your cable has the FT232RL chip inside. not all blue ebay cables have that.
here's a link to the one i bought and it works perfectly: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/290749432731?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_1588wt_1298 Title: Re: Newbie help!
