Title: VAGCOM
Post by: jd on 05 March 2007, 13:42

Hi

Can someone please point me in the right direction as to where I can get a copy of VAGCOM? Is there anywhere I can download it from? Or is it a matter of buying it on ebay?

Cheers

JD

That's the software.

You will also need a USB cable. OBD I or OBD II depending on your car and it's year. These are easy to get on ebay, £15 i think mine was

The software is free from ross-tech but the cheap cables off ebay don't allow full functionality - only shareware mode. or only work with old versions like 409 etc.

 Only the proper ross-tech cable will unlock and register the software - so you can scan for faults with the cheap one but cant change anything and the codes arent specific in shareware mode.

The proper cable for v607 (latest version) is the vag-com hex usb, and is £220 from ross-tech (thats the one I have)
