I don't know but give it a try.

Another thing you can do is change virtual COM port latency settings in device manager. On my cable it was at 10 ms by default and I occasionally had problems connecting to instrument cluster, resetting service indicator mileage if I change it to 1 or 2 ms it works fine and faster as well.

There isn't an option to change the virtual com port with the Ross tech direct interface driver?

I've just been messing about with VCDS and I noticed that when I'm going through the adaption channels, the first Chanel has an wheel position of 'invalid', but it lets me save it anyway?

Its after I've saved this invalid value that it says security access required.

The road outside my house is slightly sloped, could it be this causing the invalid value and error message?

You want to do this on as flat a piece of tarmac as possible, just in case

Hi,

I got it working! The value was flashing from valid to invalid, I think that was the issue.

Only trouble is that I can't get the rear wheels to level properly. One is higher than the other but it doesn't seem to correct when I enter the new values? Tried about 7 times.

PAul.
