Evening all !
Can someone point me in the right direction for the cable i need to make changes to my car ?
Looking on Rosstechs website they are mighty expensive and im not sure which version is needed !
Also, is there any cheaper alternatives to rosstech to make changes to the car ?
If anyone is in the dorset area with the equipment and wouldn't mind doing a few changes for me, i would supply with beer tokens and my appreciation :)

I did have a cable off Amazon. It did work version 12.12 JayGTD is the proud owner. I'll pm him and see if he had success with it.

It worked!

May have to take a look on Amazon then ! I only want to do dial staging and change the display to show MPH in large instead of KMH. :)
-
The large MPH and staging was all I required. I contacted a local VW AUDI specialist who said bring it along and they would have a look. They were able to get the large MPH, but no staging available. It took a matter of minutes and was completed at no charge.

sorry to hijack, but I was also wanting to change only basic things like the kph display to mph, would something like this cable with software combo actually be worth buying, it has mixed reviews:

any words of wisdom welcome as I've never tried the VAG-com side of things
thanks

Think that was the cable i purchased. Worked some of the time. I think it was me plugging it into the OBD socket. The software did install. When connected to the net it actually upgraded to the latest software. You do get a dialogue box up to say that the cable checks out ok. The one i had didn't but worked sometimes.

thanks, it might worth a punt for £20.
cheers

Check through some of the other VW forums you might find someone local that has the software and could borrow it, that how I did mine only cost me some alcohol to do it and the big MPH and dial staging are easy to do.

East Dorset or West?
I'm in Devon and have full VCDS but I work silly long hours and am mid way through getting ready to move house so don't have a lot of travel time.
