Got USB KKL dongle (interface) on eBay, installed driver. Vag-Com "Test" reports Port and Interface OK.
Plugged into ABD recepticle, turned on ignition, started VAG-Com V.409.1 (shareware), but can't establish "Comm Status" with controller. In "Options" tried different baud rate settings, still no go.
Any ideas will be appreciated.<ul><li><a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/USB-KKL-Vag-Com-Cable-Interface-VW-Audi-Seat-Skoda_W0QQcmdZViewItemQQcategoryZ43989QQitemZ46048 27699QQrdZ1">Third Party cable</a></li></ul>

2) Questions about design and construction of home-made interfaces are Off-Topic, as are connection problems if you're using a home-made interface or a 3rd party interface.<ul><li><a href="https://forums.audiworld.com/vag/msgs/6768.phtml">https://forums.audiworld.com/vag/msgs/6768.phtml</a</li></ul>

...but usually they don't have a real clue about diagnostics...
Also you should try with 311.2 first, NOT 409.1 since 409.1 does not run with low quality 3rd party hardware, 311.2 does and since nobody knows what hardware you are running, try it that way first.

Thanks for your response Sebastian.
I'm a dummy. Win 2K device manager mapped The USB cabled interface (cheap immitation) as logical ComPort #4 and I was beating on #3. I was able to establish with several controllers, got excess errors attempting HVAC, but couldn't connect with most.
The reason for the CEL light is now clear. Also learned that the "Cen Lock" Sytem's Vac Pump has been very busy.
This tool is So enpowering because of the knowledge it provides.
