PaulMoVR6 0 Posted March 16, 2010 Stupid question time again :epicfail: Where can i find the latency settings on my laptop? i have looked in the control pannel can't seem to find it though, i have now downloaded the correct version, and as you say CRITICAL MASS my lead only works in the USB Port 3 when you test the software at the start it dosn't want to work when i try to use VAG COM if you know what i mean, cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Critical_Mass 10 Posted March 16, 2010 Go to control panel > performance & maintence > system > device manager - a list of components will appear, look for com ports and click properties, then advanced. it may be set to 16, set it to 5 - this will help when trying to scan the ABS. To get the cable to work, i find its a bit hit and miss. Ive had to reboot, unplug the cable and plug it back in. Try rebooting the comp with the cable into port. Then run vagcom and go to options and choose port 3 and detect it. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PaulMoVR6 0 Posted March 17, 2010 Ok i know how to change the port settings now but when i open my device manager the PORTS option aint there :scratch: , i have had a look at the computers self help programme and it says the exact same as what critical mass is saying but my laptop hasn't got the Ports option in the device manager, any ideas? cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpowell79 0 Posted March 17, 2010 So when you have the adaptor think i have found one on ebay, What elso do i need? Download the software from rosstech? or do i need another lead to plug into my laptop? sorry for my complete lack of knowledge Get this OBDII lead and one of these 2x2 adaptor Then download a version of Vagcom from Rosstech. So just to confirm, I have a '95 corrado Storm - my connector under the gaitor is a rectangular connector, so I only need to buy a ODBII cable, and I don't need to buy the 2x2 connector??

I'll take a look later. jpowell - yours sounds like it has the OBDII 16 pin connection - i didnt think any corrados came with this connector. But if that is the case you need the same cable minus the 2x2 adaptor. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

emu 0 Posted April 5, 2010 Finally get myself a genuine cable. It works as should, not like cheap imitation. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fla 9 Posted September 19, 2010 Yeah thats the serial port mate. You could also use a serial to USB converter like http://www.maplin.co.uk/Module.aspx?Mod ... &U=strat15 Right, still not having any joy with the serial to USB adapter. Have emailed Linda at RossTech to let her know but as yet have not heard anything from her. I just have no idea at all as to how to proceed :( Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
