initially i was able to get the sw installed and it took a reading from the car (2003 A4 1.8T). I have tried running vag-com 409.1 on both windows xp and 7. it is fully windows 7 / 64-bit compatible. The windows 7/xp/ebay vag cable are sketchy at best, its better to run it under xp natively - ask me how I know.Įasiest route to use if you dont feel comfortable with installing operating systems and with the often cryptic instructions on how to do things would be to purchase the ross-tech cable and license. It all depends on how well you can read and figure out how to do the things that you need to do. then you will need a program called bcdedit to make it so you can boot either os when the computer starts.

Or.you can shrink your partition with a program called gparted, its free, then install windows xp/vag-com on the new empty part of the drive. Or.you can get (whatever way you choose) vmware and install windows xp on a virtual machine, then install vag-com or vcds. Or.you can download ms virtual pc and windows xp mode and install the driver for the cable in the virtual windows xp as well as the vag-com or vcds. youll also have to enable test mode which will get you a nice little watermark on the desktop that says 'test mode'. you would need to manually 'sign' the drivers with a utility called : driver signature enforcement overrider.

If you have 64-bit windows, the driver will have trouble installing.
