VCDS Lite Vagcom - xenon retro fit

[GTI_UK]

Hi guys,

I don't have it at the moment but wondering if the VCDS lite by Ross-Tech would allow me to change the light setting which are required following xenon retro fit?

[Neiltdi]

what kind of lead do you have?

It's a Cheap USB jobby from eBay...

No.

So only a original Ross-Tech cable can be used or are there other alternatives?

Also, does this module option HAVE to be changed?

[rich83]

Yes. It has to be coded otherwise your likely to get flickering lights.

[graeme]

yeh you need have them coded or they will just flicker on and off , you will need a real vcds cable. Im sure some one close to you on here will have one , try the vcds area on here and see ? .

VCDS Lite doesn't work on mk5 platforms, even if you buy a license for the fake cable.

Could you elaborate please? Are you saying I would need both a 'proper' cable and a different licenced software?

You need either Hex-CAN-USB cable or a Micro CAN cable.
