Hi Lee, Thanks for your helpful comments. The vendor had e-mailed me directing me to the FTDI website to download the drivers - you were correct! I had opened the dongle and the chip is an FTDI 232BL.
I run XP, so downloaded the driver 2.00.00 However, I still can't get it to run: Having plugged in the cable, On the VAG-COM options menu, selecting USB and 'Test' returns Port status: OK Interface: Not Found! If I unplug the cable from the USB port, then the report says 'Ross-Tech Interface Not Found!' So, this seems to suggest something is working OK. Also, in the 'Add or Remove Programs' facility, the 'FTDI USB Serial Converter Drivers' is listed, so this looks encouraging.

I've discovered that if I select COM3 and then press Test, the window says: Port Status: OK Interface: Found! Html Hindi Fonts Download Kruti Dev.

With the dongle plugged in (the led lights up) and turning on the ignition to the first setting, clicking on the OBD-II returns 'Interface Not Found!' As I mentioned, the CD-ROM was cracked when delivered - although no sign of any damage to the Jiffybag or to the cable and dongle. Would be very grateful for any suggestions.

Cheers, Ian Ian, mine did exactly the same. What you need to do is plug in the cable to your laptop. Now go into control panel open up or navigate to system/hardware/device manager/ports. It will probably say USB serial port (COM3 or somesuch) open up it by double clicking, go to the port settings tab and click on advanced. This will allow you to set the com port to Com1 The cable should now connect to the car.
If the cable is unplugged from the car and you try to find it with VAG-COM it 'finds' it at COM3 but it wont work. Try the above then connect to the car and test it at COM1 and it should work. It's a lot of buggering about but it should go. Try to ensure you use the same usb socket each time.
Once you know it works it is time to buy the registered version, it's well worth the expense. I have to say their cable is a lot less aggro. I have been looking at the screenshots of the next version of VAG-COM which Uwe has posted. I may have to shell out for one because it looks really pukka. Though I may get it shipped to friends in the US as I resent paying that Scottish oaf at the treasury all my hard earned cash! Let me know how you get on.
