Hi Moz

 

Best bet might be to try it and come back if you have problems. May have been lucky but mine was straightforward.

Basic getting started procedure is (IIRC, follow at your own risk!)

 

Install the drivers that came with your cable

Install VCDS-Lite and allow it to run (just accept all the defaults)

Connect cable - both ends. In my MK1, the connector lives under the front ashtray (take out the

ashtray, then you can pull the lid/base out, the connector will be obvious)

Ignition on

switch to/Run VCDS-Lite

Click Options

Click a com port (COM3 is a good starting bet)

Click Test

If ok, Click Save

If not ok, try the other ports. If none work see below (Donkeys years ago, PCs only

supported 4 hardware com ports, and VCDS-Lite follows this convention it seems, so we may

need to make a change to some settings)

Goes back to main VCDS-Lite screen

Click Select to pick a controller and you're off!

 

If you have problems, have a look at this thread http://www.fordgalaxy.org.uk/ford/index.php?/topic/10614-vag-com-connection-problems/page__p__84798#entry84798

or come back to us. If you do come back, might help if you could say which version of windows you're running.

 

Good Luck!
