Such a script can then be called by a desktop icon.ħ.Create a text file called vagcom.Some customers give us this feedback: vagcom 12.10.3 When check port test, it says: Port status OK, interface not found. This is effectively what the commands above do but these are a nuisance to type.Ī simple solution is to use a script that performs the change of directory and then runs VAG-COM. The simplest way that I found around this problem (using my very limited knowledge) was to change to the VAG-COM directory before running it. The program will then continue but does not work very well. You need to issue the command from within the VAG-COM directory or VAG-COM will give the error "Can’t Open Codes File: CODES.DAT". Even if you have added the VAG-COM path to the wine windows registry, so that it can find the executable, it will not work properly. Unfortunately, running VAG-COM is not as simple as just typing: "wine vagcom.exe" at the home directory command prompt. Wine = Version 0.9.9-0Ubuntu2 from Universe repository.Ĭode: $ sh –c cd ".wine/drive_c/Program Files/VAG-COM" & wine vagcom.exeThis can be simplified by optionally creating a desktop icon below. OS = Ubuntu (Dapper Drake 6.06 release) freshly installed and updated on 16/7/06. VAG-COM software = Release 607.0 from Ross-Tech.Ĭomputer = Toshiba 8100 laptop with a Pentium 3 processor and 196 Mb RAM. I believe that the USB version will not work with Linux because Wine only supports USB devices that are supported by the Linux kernel. IMPORTANT: This is the serial port version (not USB). VAG-COM Cable = HEX-COM+CAN cable from Ross-Tech. I have installed the recently released version 607.0 of VAG-COM under Ubuntu Linux. It was probably based on version 504 of VAG-COM but provided me with hope that I could get it to work. This HOW-TO ( ) from 2005 requires mozactivex and a couple of DLLs. VAG-COM has undergone many updates since then. This HOW-TO ( ) from 2001 is too old so I don’t know if it still works. This post ( ) states VAG-COM works under SUSE Linux but provides no description as to how to install it. However, others (with more experience than I) have used wine to get it working under Linux in the past. Ross-Tech explicitly state that it is only supported running under Windows. VAG-COM ( is an on-board diagnostic (OBD) scanner for Volkswagen Audi Group vehicles.
