Please Help!

Xprog is only for module programming, the rest of it should work and it should connect.
It is not uncommon for the supplied usb cable to break like a cheap pair of headphones or Samsung charger socket
It is just a printer cable though

Extract v86 xprog v86 licence/crack/patch all to desktop.

Run v86 till restart the laptop don't run ids yet.
Run v86 licence/crack/patch in xp3 mode and as administrator till restart laptop.(hq clone bottom option if asked)
Run xprog as administrator.
Start ids.

Sweet.

If you install later ids it is different.

Thank you loot
Don't understand all of that but I got it working when I bought it so might be able to blunder my way through
Forgot to mention it came up with the 3 boxes
Dealer code and something else
Never seen it before that's why I thought I had let something run out.

When xprog runs out it only shows a 'not available' message when you go to module programming, it'll still connect to the van and self test and service functions though

Got the laptop to connect to the vcm with the printer lead but getting this message I don't remember seeing before

Is your laptop connected to the internet?

Is your laptop connected to the internet?

Think it's in range of WiFi
Managed to get it to work
Not sure if I've read the codes right think it could be a map or mass sensor that's putting engine malfunction message on

That's quite alright my man, whilst I was there I thought I'd violate you

Did you feel it?

[Airthies]

Violate away dear chap, just don't tell bjt that I'm open to such debauchery!
