You need a Hex-CAN_USB or Micro-CAN for Mk5 platform cars.

Buy from Ross Tech or one of their official resellers not some shady pirateers on ebay.

Don't bother with the cheap ebay one's as half the stuff won't work,well worth buying a genuine one if you intend to keep your car! :happy2:

I bought a £59 one on eBay and it works perfectly.

I am not a business and just needed something for twice a year use and was prepared to take the risk.

Wrong or right thats the way it is.

If you want the link I can try and find it.

I can do everything I need, coding, logging etc etc.
