VAG-COM Questions
will my VAG-COM work with a male/male serial port connector cable? (my Vag and PC both have female serial ports)
Should I go for male serial to usb?
I have heard people saying they don't work with connector cables.
Does the cable have to be Null Modem? (whatever that means)
Or does anybody have a link to buy what I need?
Found some cheap ones on ebay...

Re: VAG-COM Questions
a serial port on a computer should be a male connector. a blue female is most likely a video out. check that first before you may waste money on a cable. most newer computer don't have a serial port anymore.

Re: VAG-COM Questions
Caution with Serial to USB adapters, port emulators, etc when using VAG-COM and esp if reprogramming modules. There are known issues.
Best results with a direct connect VAG-COM cable.

Re: VAG-COM Questions
does vag-com sell adapters for usb without buying the whole cable
I know the vag-com i have is discontinued maybe I should sell it and get a newer one with the usb?

Re: VAG-COM Questions
If you have a real Ross-Tech cable they have an upgrade program as well.
