Title: Location of VAG COM Port?
Post by: Jimmymature on 22 January 2011, 09:13: Hi guys can someone tell me where to find the port please? I am hoping to get the central electronic module scanned today to see if I can fit rear LED's today :evil:

Cheers,

Jim

Oh dear in that case my mate doesnt have the right device, it's a device he uses for all the cars he works on. Any suggestions? Do you think the VW dealer will tell me?

Cheers,

SteveP or Montygt140 maybe able to help you if its compatiable with LEDs.

Thank mate, spoke to Steve a while back and he wanted the electronic module number to be sure before trying to fit the lights for me.

My GTI is an early one so I have a bad feeling I won't be able to fit LED's :cry:
