Re: Vista Compatable?
The current version (704) certainly runs on Vista, not sure about earlier versions. If you have a genuine cable you should be able to download and install the current version.

Re: Vista Compatable?
The minimum lead you will need for your TT is the KEY range.
personally i would recommend the HEX + CAN range as they are more future proof for newer vehicals you may change to that need CAN. Once you have decided between these then its just a matter of USB or Serial versions. USB being the safer choice as Serial ports are fast disappearing from laptops.

Re: Vista Compatable?
Hi ordered one that is compatable with VAGCOM 409.1, can be made to work under vista too if needed using xp mode, not sure whether it is KEY or not just know that it should work as it has a 16 pin conenctor for the car interface itself. Cost £14 all in. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/169144-ok.gif[/img]

Re: Vista Compatable?
True it states the current 7.x is but people on the TT forum say they have run ver.409.1 in XP compatability mode with no probs. will have to see I guess.

Yeah version 409.1 will run, mine kept crashing using vista so went to XP compatability however still crashed, changed to good ole Windows 98/ME compatability and jobs a good one, you will need to go in computer manager and maybe change your com port for this device to com2 , then use com2 in the software and this should get com's - my vista setup the cable device as com7 however the software only does com1-4. |
