I think that you screwed your cable if you were trying to update to a newer version

Looks like yourself giving the answer:
If detected as ross tech hec usb cable, then it isn't the the Vag-tacho cable you connected7/bought.

it was ok when i first bought it and tried it now everytime i plug it in even on different pc windows automatically detects it as a ross tech hec usb cable and wants to download the driver for ross tech even if i manually select the driver it wont accept any other

Deinstall driver in windows confuration/system/hardware.
Plug in interface
And don't let windows do the install, but do it yourself.
Install only the drivers that belong to your interface.

Things go wrong when drivers (or interface's) use same Vid/Pid

thanks mate ive tried all that as soon as i plug it in windows detects it as ross tech then wants to install drivers for ross tech even if i stiop it and try loading drivers manually its says its not the right ones as the tacho is getting detected as ross tech hex usb

Hi, do you have a picture ? i think your interface is not vag tacho.

[toniz]

Are you trying to use Vag-tacho with Vag-com interface??

[JIMMYQ]

hi its definately a vag tacho 3.1 its even got a sticker on it saying but most of all when i first bought i used it worked perfect with vag tacho software too (not using it with vag com)
anyhow not used it for a while now the damn thing keeps getting detected as ross tech-hex usb
