3. Wait for the 15 second timer to count down, this will go once
registered. Press ok.
4. The next page lists the cars it will work on and then suggests the
cable you need? Press Pokracovat.
5. Press set-up and open the register link above. On motordiag you will
need the “seriove cislo†number. Copy and paste that into the box
on register page, add email then press register. Go to your email (check
junk). There will be a code in your email. Copy and paste into Registracni
klic then press Registrovano!

Tip, notice Interface set-up? Remember what COM it is under. Most of
us have used 3.
Part 2 – Vag KKL cable.
1. Order the cable and make sure to download the drivers and vag-com
in the links above.
2. Once the cable turns up don’t even bother with the disc that it
comes with. It doesn't work. To start with Install Vag-com lite - do not
pug cable in until you have installed Vag-com.
3. Once Vag-com is installed you can plug in the cable. Now those
drivers you downloaded will be needed so make sure they are on the
desktop to make it easy when trying to nd them later on.
4. You will be asked twice to install drivers, it uses the same ones. Now
when prompt to use a CD or install from a location, choose install from
location. Now select where you put them and press next. Do this for
when you are prompted again.
