Nevermind. For the record, I'm having success with the VAG COM cable from E-bay seller 'chiltonsondemand' [Recommended! US-based, fast shipping, good feedback. More expensive than the Hong Kong sellers, but faster] using the latest (1.42) version of ECUFlash. The key to my eventual success was using the drivers that came with ECUFlash- not the ones supplied with the cable or the ones downloaded from the chip maker.

Greets! I've been successful with Learning View and the RomRaider Logger with my new E-bay cable, which to me suggests the cable and driver are good. The cable shows up correctly on COM12 in device manager and the baud rate is set to 4800. This is on an XP laptop. ECUFlash is being a PITA though- there are no options to select COM ports and the text at the lower right says "No Vehicle Interface". I've tried both the latest version (1.42) and the earlier preferred 1.29- both are same. Am I missing something obvious? Thanks!

Grazia!
