Here I want to share how to setup Subaru FreeSSM software and adapter.And it introduce the setup guide work for Window,Linux and MacBook Air.
Preparations:
Subaru FreeSSM Software Free Download
SUBARU FreeSSM V1.2.5 Hardware
Subaru FreeSSM Installation for Window & Linux:

The VAG COM cable I purchased required no setup, plugged in, found, done. Works on XP, Vista and 7 I tested all these OS’s.
-Install the software
On the main screen go to Preferences
On the drop down: Serial Port
Select which COM port your adapter is on
If you have no idea wth I am talking about:
On your keyboard hold the windows button and push Pause/Break
Click Device Manager
Select Ports (COM & LPT)
Your adapter should be listed here
Right click the adapter, select Properties
Under Port Settings, Advanced you can see which port it is on, you can change this to another # if you want.
