Vagcom
« on: August 13, 2013, 03:30:29 pm »
Hello guys, I have a cheap vagcom lead at home and ive never once managed to get vagcom working on any of my laptops.

Does anyone have a good source for the software (Free) that i can sue to check a few things on my car, i want to run diagnostic and turn off my airbag light and code a few things.

THanks Ryan

VCDS software is free, genuine cables activate it. You'll have no luck asking for help about counterfeit VCDS I'm afraid.

You do get non ross-tech cables that are not counterfeit, ross-tech do a free download for those interfaces.

OP stated cheap VagCom lead not a third party interface, hence my assumption.

The Lite version doesn't work with the Mk5 or similar cars.

You need a Ross Tech cable Hex-CAN USB or Micro Can.

The software is then freely downloadable from Ross Tech.
