VAG COM

[navmk4gti]

right i just got the vag cable through the post 

so i downloaded the ross tech sofware.. when i tested it in the car and clicked on "OBD-II" button i got an error saying "test complete, car is  not iso/abd-ii compatabile! if this car is VW/AUDI/seat/skoda try select > individual controllers" what the hell does this mean?? as i thought the cable i have is a obd-ii?

also i did a full scan and it kept sayin in the top left corner bunch numbers and wait 3, 1, 0.5 seconds etc.... and then going onto the next page and saying terminal and a number kept changin terminal everytime.. is this normal?? it didnt say it is complete or anything and i got no fault code page come up so does that mean its all faultless??

sorry with the quesions im a newbie to this vag com stuff

you need to setup the correct COMMS port - look in options when you first open VAG COM

don't forget with the unlicensed version you can't access all the control modules 

also make sure the ignition is on when running VAG COM 

don't click on OBD 2 - click on control modules or whatever the equivalent is

iv done the test on comms.. and comm 3 works so i apply it and stuff.. where can i get fully registered one?? my key was out as i was to scared keep ignition on    ill do that too

is there a step by step anywhere on how to do errror checks and the other bits bobs on the software.

it was all alien to me too but we have to start somewhere 

does it work in the car??

registration is built into the lead- so if you have a genuine lead it will unlock all the features

yep works in the car gave it a auto-scan but no idea if it is right or not no faults came up as iv got a bit of temp prob which has come back it went ok for a few days after i changed the temp sender so i was expecting a fault code to help me out 

do you a get like a report after a scan or is it just a case of if u have a fault it tells you otherwise it goes back to normal screen in auto-scan option

[Waffs1984]

You can't perform a full auto-scan using the shareware version - you have to select a control module and scan this module only, then do more modules if you so wish one at a time...

e.g. you select "engine" let it connect to that control module, and then you can scan for faults within that module. You then have to quit back to the main screen and select a different control module etc...

right i have found that it aint workin at all.. i try clicking on a control module and i get a error!

and whenever i go into option find the right port thats working and click save i go into the about option and it tell sme that i still need to test this on a car! and no seriel number nothing is on there .. i have looks around ross-tech and is should say shareware on the about page but it dont! i have tried all the different downloads available and just cant get my head around it

can someone please point me in the right direction as iv spent near enough 4 hours on this bloody ross tech 

im running it on vista too! :embarassed:

I have the full version and it wont work on vista
I had the same problem as you got to get it work on xp.i d to go to control pannel, systems device manager, ports and select port 1.
then had to get back into vag com and select com 1

temp problems may show under module 1 engine, then go to fault codes it will show you what you looking for

good luck
