So Yodel delivered my VAG Commander 1.4 today - black cable and software

managed to install the drivers for FDTI to get cable showing as COM ports hurray

BUT for the life of me cannot get the EXE file to run - just cannot get VAG COMrunning at all in Windows 10 - tried all sorts of compatibility settings but it just won’t run - shows in the Task Manager as running but done see any window of it on my desktop

many one got any pointers or how to’s please?

Ok I’ve got my old Dell laptop that runs Star Diag now running Vag commander 1.4 and has installed the cable no issues hurray

I want to just grab the SKC PIN also that I can then use VCDS to add another key for immobilizer

anyone know the steps to grab the SKC using Vag Com?

Did you read my post on the other thread about using the command line tool (ME7_95040) to read your ECU? (You can extract the SKC that way and it's pretty straightforward)

It works 100% and isn't hit and miss like VAG Commander or VAG Tacho!
I did read it but don’t think I have the skills and know how to use it mate - I’d prob cause more damage and waste more time trying to work it out lol

Congrats! Is your old Dell laptop running XP? You are on the same journey as me.
yep it’s a D620 running XP and Star Diag. Just added Vag Com and the cable and all up and running.

I haven’t had a chance to actually use it yet - plus IF I can get my head round that command line app I’ll try both ways this weekend at some point

mall I need is the SKC to use in VCDS to add a key to IMMO - is that what your doing too?

where do you get the actual app mate?

I’ve visited ME7 EEPROM programmer

but it’s just forum talk - no actual file to download ?!?!

Yes, that’s exactly what I’m looking to do. Currently only have one key paired with immo. I have a Vag Commander cable and software and trying to revive an old XP laptop to use it to extract the SKC from the cluster. Have a KKL cable on the way too so I can use VCDS to pair it once I have the code.
where abouts are you? Anywhere near West Wales? If so pop over and you can use my Dell :)

UPDATE : IT ONLY BLOODY WORKS !!!
So got up early this morning and within 30 mins I have programmed two keys

thanks SOOOO much for the help and advice - that little program is wonderful

steps worked perfectly and I was then straight into VCDS to program my keys

thanks again ;)
