i have had no luck getting k+can commander 2.5 working. i have bought 3 cables. the last one finally has a fdti chip which i have confirmed by opening the cable and seeing the ft232rl stamp. I am running the driver from 2.08.30.9 and it is installed with no issue. it lists as com 10 and ive set tester.ini to 10 as well, though i have also tried com 2. no matter what i do i keep getting "init dog failed". im running win 7 64bit and do run the program as admin.

vag tacho also will not recognize this cable.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

so ive set it to com 2 and others in 1-4 and i still get the dog init failed error. really frustrated. is there anything else i can use to program the correct mileage on a cluster? i have a 2001 jetta and, 2005.5-6 jetta tdi. the 01 burnt the old harness and cluster and the 05.5-6 had a mph needle that was working only intermittently. both clusters are in the car and working but mileage is WAY WAY off on both.

I realize that is post is nearly 6 months old, but for future reference, I've used Vag K+ Can Commander 3.6 with good results. The cable used is important ad too many assume that you can just use any OBd2 cable and you're good to go.
