Instructions: • • • • Stage 1: Install the USB drivers for the interface To get your interface up and running, you need to install software device drivers for the USB interface. If you are installing the package on a PC that is connected to the internet, Windows 7 can automatically locate and install suitable drivers via Windows Update. Just connect the interface to a USB port on the computer - Windows will then show a notification that it is locating and installing device drivers.and then another message when the installation is complete. If the PC you are installing on is not connected to the internet, you will need to download the drivers via another PC and install them before connecting the interface.

Windows 7 compatible drivers are available here: Stage 2: Verify the port settings Once the drivers are installed, you need to determine which COM port has been assigned to the interface by Windows. To do this you need to go into the Windows Device Manager. Find the 'Computer' link on the desktop or the Start Menu, click the Right Mouse Button on it and choose Properties: When the 'System' box appears, click on the Device Manager link on the left hand side: Then when the Device Manager window appears, click on the arrow next to 'Ports (COM & LPT)' to see which COM port has been assigned to your interface - it will show as a 'USB Serial Port': VAG-COM 409.1 can only connect to a COM port between COM1 and COM4. - If the port number assigned to your interface is between 1 and 4, remember which port it's on, then skip to stage 3 - installing VAG-COM. - If the port number assigned to your interface is higher than 4 (in the example above it is COM8), then you will need to change the port number.

To do this, double-click on the USB Serial Port to go into its properties, then click on the Port Settings tab: Then click on the 'Advanced' button - this will show you a list of all the COM port numbers you could assign to the interface. Select a port number between 1 and 4 then press ok (if possible choose one that is not shown as 'in use'): Once that is done, click ok until you are back to the Windows desktop. Stage 3: Download and install the VAG-COM Software Next you need to download VAG-COM 409.1 from the Ross-Tech website: (Use the link for version 409.1 - shown as 'For MODERN SERIAL Interfaces') Save the file to your computer, then run it. When installing VAG-COM on Windows 7, it is important that you do NOT install it within the 'Program Files' folder. Windows 7 protects this folder and prevents programs from writing files into it, which would prevent VAG-COM from working. So when you see the screen showing the location for installation, change it to another folder, e.g.

C: Ross-Tech VAG-COM: Once you have changed the installation location, click install, and wait for it to complete installation. The installer may not give a confirmation window - it may just disappear when it is finished. Stage 4: Configure the VAG-COM software Finally there are a few changes you need to make to get the software up and running. VAG-COM requires administrator access to function, so find the shortcut to 'VAG-COM Release 409-1', click the Right Mouse Button on it, and choose Properties. Then on the Properties page, select the 'Compatibility' tab, and tick the option marked 'Run this program as an administrator': Click on 'Apply', then 'OK'. You may need to repeat this for the shortcut on the Start Menu. That should be all the preparation done.

The final step is to open the VAG-COM software by that shortcut, go into the Options page, then select the COM port your interface is configured on: Once you've selected the port, click Test, then OK. You should now be able to use the software.

I'm so dumb with computers I feel ashamed I downloaded youy data and there was a link to another download. Allah ke bande song download 320kbps pagalworld. I downloaded that one and followed instructions. I extracted files to usb stick because win xp where I'm trying to get VAG-COM fully working didn't open files. I loaded medds to same file where VAG-COM is and meds told it would be uppgraded to fully working version. Is there any chance I did anything right? Tomorrow I plug it in car and see if anything works anymore. I have -99 Passat AHU 400tkm and I try to measure injection timing and raise idle speed to reduce idle vibrations.

I could also try to raise glow time so old engine could start easyer in cold conditions. Thank you for trying to help poor bastard to keep old Passat running, I really can't afford any better than I can fix by myself.

Another day and I tested it. When I go 'About' it says on serial number: Please test on a car before registering. Licence status: Not tested.

I keep getting it's not registered when I try to use advanced things. I tried to run meds again and it tell succesfully installed. One time it let me go adaptation group 12 and save new value without but I couldn't get in again to confirm if new value was saved. I used login 12233, should that be something else?
