I am in a similar predicament currently. I have been trying to install Vag Commander on my XP Laptop, going to try it on my 7 laptop.
I also have a HEX CAN cable, but it should be fine since it is a FTDI cable, correct?
OP, did you install VC 2.5 on XP or 7?
I guess I will also need to download the VCP drivers, because I was trying to use it with the original Ross Tech drivers with intelligent mode turned off.
So all I should need to do is, install the VCP drivers manually, turn off intelligent mode, turn on K-line comms, and just open VC 2.5 from the folder I downloaded? There is no installation process for the Vag Commander application?
Amazing how much of a PITA it is just to get a PIN/SKC so I can program this key on my B5.5 Passat... only if it was as easy as my B5 A4. haha.
Sorry I never saw this post after and just recently saw Hamma's post. My old work computer was a 32-bit Windows 7 machine and it worked just fine. It was my personal computer that didn't work out, which was originally a 32-bit Windows machine running Vista, but had been converted to Windows 7.
I had no problems with my
genuine Ross Tech cable. Got the SKC, got it for another person that needed it and haven't had to use it again. I need to find another Audi key and then I'll be at it again for one last time. Should have wrote the SKC down and then I wouldn't have to do it again. Pretty sure I remember it in my head, but should redo as a good exercise.
