Step 5:
When you get to this screen:

When it prompts you to update the software from internet, choose NO, as seen below...
DO NOT update the
software from internet, else you'll brake the license and it'll be
nearly impossible to reinstall it again. In this case, Total Car
Diagnostics won't be refunding, because you have been warned.

b) Turn car ignition on.
Step 11:
a) Inside AutoCom software, click on: Settings > Hardware setup
b) Select "USB/BT (Com-port)".

It should successfully detect your device and show something like this...
If it prompts that Firmware
is out of date, then click on "Update" button and wait 10 minutes for
AutoCom unit to update. Don't disconnect it while it's updating.
When firmware is updated, you're ready to start scanning your vehicle(s).
If you get this inside Step 11 when you press "Test":
OR you get this message any time when attempting to use the software:
Then, all this means is you entered WRONG serial number at time of
installation. This is EASY to fix. And doesn't need you to reinstall the
software again.
Here's how to fix this...
STEP A:
Take note of the
Serial number as seen in above picture (example: 20418). Because that's
the serial number you're going to register the software with.
STEP B:
Exit AutoCom Delphi software.
For Windows 7, 8, 10 users, inside Windows start menu, search for: Folder Options
For Windows XP users, go to: Windows Explorer > Tools > Folder Options
It should look like this:
Tick option as shown in #2 in above pic. Then Ok.
STEP C:
Delete these folders:
- C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Application Data\Autocom
- C:\Documents and Settings\**USER**\Application Data\Autocom
- C:\Documents and Settings\**USER**\Application Data\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\My
- C:\Documents and Settings\Default User\Application Data\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\My
- C:\Documents and Settings\LocalService\Application Data\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\My
- C:\Documents and Settings\NetworkService\Application Data\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\My
(If you can't delete any of above folders - then restart computer and try again).
Also...
Open this file: C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts
And DELETE these lines (if they're found):
127.0.0.1 activation.autocom.se
127.0.0.1 activation2.autocom.se
127.0.0.1 updates.autocom.se
Then Save.
Go to File Manager, and delete these folders:
- C:\Users\**USERNAME**\AppData\Roaming\Delphi
- C:\Users\**USERNAME**\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SystemCertificates\My
(If you can't delete any of above folders - then restart computer and try again).
STEP D:
Continue from Step 4 to Step 11 above. When you get to Step 5, enter the Serial number that you took note in Step A above.
If you keep getting message that Firmware needs to be updated...
Here's how to fix this...
STEP 1:
Exit AutoCom Delphi software.
Inside Windows start menu, search for: Folder Options
It should look like this:
Tick option as shown in #2 in above pic. Then Ok.
