Really sorry but a quick VAGCOM Question!
« on: 31 March 2009, 20:26 »
Hello

Was just wondering, the cheap cables and software on Ebay, do they just work if you install on laptop or do you have to purchase the license as well?  Sorry if a stupid question but was just a little confused!

Cheers

They work but you only have limited functions, you can run a fault scan and log basic information  :smiley:

You got to go into options and run a test in the different coms until one of them works, if your not already doing so  :undecided:
