How to solve VCDS 12.10.3 interface: not found error?

1. Make sure you pc never installed vag com software. Change your computer system time: 04.2013, any days in April

2. The port config maybe wrong.

Check what port the USB device is on, then change the port number to the VCDS port

3. this actually works, but for the interface to be recognised by the software (vcds-lite or vag-com) it has to be connected to the car, and the car has to have a full battery.

(in electronics terms; pin 16 of the OBD socket needs to get 12V power, where pins 4 and 5 are ground. There is an EEprom or OpAmp (or something similar) in there that gets powered by the car. Seems like without power the software can't make a loopback test.)

(as of in computer terms: This is a simple "serial passtrough" interface(a.k.a. "wire") tied to a FTDI USB to Serial chip.)

Simple english; connect it to car and try again !

If you got everything right with the "USB to Serial" part, then it should work when powered by the car.

Please keep in mind that the car may also have some blown fuse, in many cases the OBD interface +12 volts are directly taken from the cigarette lighter, if that is gone OBD won't work either.
