I'm stumped with the same problem I had a year ago when my water pump went out. I am having an Echo test failed, check cable is connected and ignition is on message on com3. Any other com I get can't open serial port com1,2,4 etc.

I'm using a newer vag com cable with it in dumb mode on a Windows 7 64 bit. Car is a 2000 S4 six-speed. Ignition is on and the light on the cable is on.

In Windows the Ross-Tech cable is labeled at this:
Location 0 (Port_#0004.Hub_#0001) (I don't know if this helps I'm just supplying the information.

What is going on with this that I can't figure out? Thanks for any help. I need this tune revisioned ASAP.

Any suggestions would be appreciated

FTDI library version 30118
Echo test failed, check cable is connected and ignition is on
Initialization failed, exiting ...
exiting (cause=0x1)...

Is the -f the FTDI option or am I missing something?

What do I need to edit or change then? I can't seem to figure out what is missing that you see.

Could someone give me a screenshot of how to setup the .txt file so it will log variables. I feel like I've tried it all, but everytime I delete the comment it just comes back to the same thing.... No variables selected.

If I had an example of what it looks like I'd be golden!

Please n thank you!

Yeah, must have been something obvious that was overlooked. When I first used it, years ago now (wow!), it worked essentially out of the box on the same A-box ECU that you have.

Hello there ! I am trying to finally inpuy ALS and LC to my Cupra but I am having trouble with ME7info tool to id all the adressess.

I got the following error  " restypes 058x ->JMP not found in 2nd stage selector <889232> .
( also attached an image )

I tried various original ME7.5 files ,but no luck the same thing.

The file.ecu is made , but lots of adresses are missing , so I have only found a few to proceed with my project.

Does anyone know what is this error and how to fix ? I cant seem to find anything .

Thank you   

EDIT: I have trouble right now uploading the .png for some reason I will upload later , the error is exactly as I quoted

Figured it out. Got the rosstech dll for the vcp and put it in the bin folder for the logger. Works great.
