Hi Bram, I got the test OK message but couldn't get any info from the ecu re engine (or any other system for that matter). I also tried lowering the baud rate right down to slowest.
I have exactly the same behaviour on mine. Let's try to find out if the additional OBD cable is faulty then....
Does someone know the electrical diagram for this cable?
I did put a meter on the connections and got a link from each contact on the black+white plugs. I actually got 2 links from one of the black contacts.
A schematic would help .......
Remember that the problem still can lay in the Vag-com unit instead of the 2x2 cable. I read somewhere that a more expensive HEX vag-com cable is more reliable when using the 2x2 cable instead of our cheap vag-com unit.
nothing wrong with the alphabid cables,i actually used to have a genuine vagcom setup which was about 200 quid.I sold it when i found that the alphabid ones work fine.Some cars just do not want to work with it(genuine or not),had it on one of mine.Works 100% on any others ive tryed.

Tested the cable on a mates A4 worked fine, also works on my passat, I therefore conclude that its the 2+2 cable that fails.
(as the other 2 car use the bigger plug)
Can anyone bleep out the connections on a working 2+2 cable and us fellas that can't talk to our cars can compare ours.
cheers
I have the alphabid cable aswell.I had the exact same results as you had and spent the whole weekend trying to get it working on the car to no avail,gave up trying.It's gathering dust somewhere now!
