So I got myself one of those cheap blue cables (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/371886304636?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT) and installed the driver.

When I load up the VZ software I connect to the com port fine. However when I write list or heartbeat, I just get errors. It's as if the car isn't sending any messages back to the laptop. Has anyone had this issue?

This is the original listing that I got mine from, but they don't have any more.

It can be a nuisance with getting fake FTDI chips, which may cause issues. It's a bit of a lottery to be honest, but your chances are improved by avoiding China.

This one looks good, but I can't guarantee anything unfortunately.

You wire two of the lines in to one of these:

Hope that helps beer

If you're around Northampton area I've got the software and cable and have done my cluster.

I don't know about that cable, but the link I provided is still active and I know it worked for me
