Title: VCDS
Post by: VWKev on 02 September 2009, 12:46

Anyone got it ? I'm thinking about getting it for my GTI when it arrives, but to be honest I'd need a crash course on how to use it properly, I wouldnt want to mess anything up by tinkering.

Also, this thread might be useful for an idea for anyone to leave your location and if you own it or plan to buy it so that maybe we can help out others ?

Not sure what you can do on a Mk6 though.

Ok.. not the most technical answer but, its windows based software to access the brain of your car. You plug it in and it allows you to change settings similar to what the dealer would do  :nerd:
