I have just updated the software on my rds510 , now dynaudio speakers dont work , rear camera not coming up either,doesnt seem to want to reset by pressing the 3 buttons either? is any one selling there vag com or could possibly borrow one as i only require it to fix stereo, live in the highlands so dont think any one local will have one .
Or is there any cheap versions on ebay i could get just to get stereo working again ?

I found someone local on the MK5 forum to do my car when needed...

I think Ess_Three (http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?action=profile;u=20738) on here is from the Aberdeenshire area, not sure how far that would be to travel.

Would this cheapo lead of ebay do the job?

Cheers for link turnt out i am member!
Nearest is still a 2 hr each way drive, think would be as cheap buyin a Cable !
-
Pls don't buy a cheap one, these aren't reliable etc etc !!!!
PS You need to ensure that the cable that you have paid for (ross-tech etc) comes with access to the VCDS software.
In my mind, cheap ebay cable = no/poor software.........................!!

They are the just the same Chinese copies, they just charge more to think you are getting something better.
They have no optical isolation on the CAN bus so have the potential of taking out some modules in your car if they go wrong.

yes but you'll lose the radio text. your better off driving a couple of hours and getting it done right. you've got the most up to date firmware and maps. buy a genuine Ross tech cable and then you'll be the only one in your area with one. it'll soon pay for itself.
-
I'll happily code it up if you want to drive to Aberdeenshire.
Personally, I'd not have a cheapo copy cable anywhere near any of my cars.
-
As said buy genuine
It will earn its money back and you can sell it on if you move away from VAG
You have an expensive car; is it really worth risking it over a couple hundred quid??

When I needed a cable to re code my head unit I borrowed one from a member here. I paid the special delivery both ways and slipped him 20 notes for his time.
Maybe someone could offer you similar?!
Where in Scotland are you as I keep telling myself I need to get one but haven't got round to it yet.
