Just to confirm, got my vagcom cable today and my computer finally communicated with my car! SRS GONE! The error was a driver side seat belt tensioner OC or something...i never touched anything when this light came on a year ago so it really pisses me off that stupid stuff like this can cause such a headache

I believe so. I just ordered mine so it better be right haha. If i'm lucky i'll get it friday or saturday and i'll let you know if it works out. I got the $17.99 one that ships from new york rather than china...i don't mind paying more to have it sooner.

Thats good to hear! At least i know the real problem now but wow i feel dumb. Its like this whole time i've just been skipping around what i really needed..what a waste of time and money lol

This is the cable i'm using, claims to be vagcom (elm327). http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-VAG-COM-Fault-Code-Interface-OBD-II-Car-Diagnostic-Cable-CD-Software-/110792250244?pt=AU_Car_Parts_Accessories&hash=item19cbbb9384 But do you mean i should be using this kind of vagcom? Which appears to be just vagcom and not elm327: http://www.ebay.com/itm/VAG-KKL-409-1-AUDI-VW-SEAT-SKODA-Cable-OBD2-II-409-/310271950703?pt=Motors_Automotive_Tools&vxp=mtr&hash=item483da63f6f I just got VOL-FCR working again but it still gives me the dreaded "interface error, check connections"...I've done everything. Made sure the port is set to COM1. Tried setting the baud rate as low as possible and everywhere between but still nothing. I'm not sure what else to do unless i truly am still using the wrong cable.

Lucky me, i can't even open the program anymore due to some stupid windows registry issue. When i open the "cracked" version it says (Run-time error '339': Component 'MSCOMM32.OCX' or one of its dependencies not correctly registered: a file is missing or invalid)

This is correct. I downloaded the program, theres a readme on how to get the drivers working so it recognizes the USB interface but for the LIFE of me i cannot get it to work!!! The directions are probably correct but don't seem to be "dumbed down" enough for normal people to understand. It really annoys me that i'm so close to resetting this damn light and can't get this last step. Another thing, i have a USB to OBDII adapter and also went through the trouble of buying a regular serial to OBDII adapter, from there i had to borrow a friends computer that was old enough to have a serial port and STILL for some reason the program did not recognize the adapter.

Got mein stickers. Thanks a ton! Uploading pics tomorrow when i put them on
