I borrowed a cable and vwtool from a fellow forum member and S4 owner. I can get a connection when I go to the engine module, but when I tried to reprogram the locks, I kept getting a "trying to re-establish connection with car" error. I let it try for over 10 minutes, but no luck. Any ideas?

BTW, I am using win2k and my car is a 2.7T. Thanks.

did you have your ignition key to the on position?

harinder

Yes. I performed a throttle adaptation first.

Things that will cause a loss of comunication..

Having a Nic in the PC.
Having a Modem in the PC.
Com port now set to correct baud rate.
Com port sharing IRQ with Mouse or other device.
Car batt voltage below 12.2 volts.
PC set to sleep to conserv power(real common).

One of these things is likely your problem. If My pcmcia Nic is in I get the error everytime. If I power my laptop off the car cig lighter, Forget it.. The laptop puts just enough strain on the batt that the voltage drops and the ecu wigs out. I then noticed that the PC was set to sleep in the bios. It turned off com ports at 6 minutes.

After I corrected these few things my problems disapeared..

Hope this helps..

I think the locks are in the central convience controller and NOT the locking controller.

harinder

Thanks. I'll give these things a try.

Central convenience just times out after about 15 seconds.
