Can't get my VAG-COM to work...
I received my vag-com cable (serial) and 2x2 adapter yesterday, which I orderd from www.alpha-bid.com.
Hooked it up to the twp two-pin connectors in my car ('95 A6 12v) and the serial port on my laptop, switched on the ignition, fired up VAG-COM 409.1. Went to options, chose COM1, clicked "test", and disappointingly got the message "Port status: OK Interface: Not found!
I realise that this is not unusual, and there is a lot of discussion about this on the net. Apparently the "genuine" cables from ross-tech work better, but now I don't want to spend a nunch of money if I'm not sure that there is a probem with the car itsself.
Amy suggestions out there? Has anyone else had he same problem?

your problem is that the cable is not fully loaded on your PC
go to device manager and find the serial interface under ports. My guess is that you will find it in the unresolved section with a yellow question mark on it.
When you first plug it in to your PC does windows auto detect it and give you some prompts? Did you install the driver?
