I can't get the newest version of Vagcom 11.11.1 to work at all with the blue ebay cable.  The "Force Dumb Mode" is grayed out and I have no option to check it.  All I can do is test usb or com ports and USB says no device ready and then com3 says ready but no interface. Should I uninstall the 409.1 or 311 version and see if that helps?  Any help would be great!  And yes I can get the older versions to work just fine.

TIA!

You need to test usb and have it detect the usb cable before you can change any settings.

If you are using a blue ebay cable, then the cable only supports dumb mode, and you don't need to bother with that setting.

My guess is that the latest version of VagCom has changed something with what cables they support.

Just wondering if the Serial --> OBD2 cables work with nefmoto? (such as cable in the link below):

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SERIAL-OBD-2-VW-Audi-Car-Diagnostic-vag-Code-Reader-/260793639277?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3cb883216d

I used to have the famous Blue Ebay USB cable, but it crapped out a while back and always gave me issues.  So i switched from a USB to a Serial based cord for use with vagcom, and its always been great.  Just wondering if this same serial cable may work with the Nefmoto software. 

(i tried the crappedout blue cable today with nefmoto but it kept failing), and the serial cord i have only works with an older laptop i have that doesn't have wifi or anything (so loading software onto it always takes a few extra steps.  So the lazy part of me is wondering if its even worth it to attempt loading the nefmoto sofware onto it to try it with the serial cable lol)

Thanks!

Don't bother using VCDS/VAGCOM cables. Only use those with VCDS.

for all other software, just use a cheap ebay (non-vcds) cable.

that said, you can try putting your cable into dumb mode in VCDS, then trying non-vcds software

Hi. I tried my blue ebay cable for the n'th time today. This cable have allways bugged me, but today I got some connection requests out of the nefmoto sotware. But it keeps disconnecting, probobly because the ecu does not respond. I tried different addresses to see if something responded(0x03), then the brake system went red in the dashboard a few times. So the system is responding in some way, then I continued with address 0x01 and after i while the car battery went flat. Is this normal?

Thanks.

Hi, again. Today i received my "cheap blue chinese" cable as recommended VAG-COM 409.1. The driver installed automatically. VAG-COM 3.11 works fine. No problems. But NefMoto haven't detect cable. I've checked chip incide the cable: it's CH340T... Is it wrong cable again?
