Unless it's one of the newer cables which is backwards compatible then unfortunately it won't work.

Hmmm, how can i tell whether it is one of the newer cables???

If it fits would be my best guess...

It depends in the type of cable. Ross-Tech make a variety of cables and they have a pretty good application list here http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/applications/golfjetta.html

The plug is the same for all cars since the 90's

My friend has a canbus genuine ross tech lead but the battery charge function isn't even there on my bw51 as per guide. Activated the setting for rear lights on with drl but nothing happened. Really want that change too.

try channel "No-Voltage display" and change to display.... battery state label does also not exist on mine but no voltage display works

Ha, I'm working in Burton right now in the brewery...

[TheCarMadDad]

Would you guys be able to tell if I posted a pic of the cable?

[mcmaddy]

The older cable won't work with newer cars but post a pic anyway.
