Where To Buy VAG-COM

Joey122mac · 31-12-2006, 16:37

Just checked on ebay and not sure whether this will do the job - I have USB on my laptop - Its a 1.48V MPI 2000 - Does anyone know whether this will do the job?

I also wonder whether we can get a UK supplier instead - Might sped things up a bit.

Thanks

devonutopia · 31-12-2006, 17:09

the software is all done through downloading and key codes from Ross-Tech: Home

I personally prefer the serial port option.

But I believe it's possible with USB - some have had issues though.

Joey122mac · 31-12-2006, 17:47

I only have USB on my machine - Is that the right connector though?

Thanks

ric04vrs · 31-12-2006, 18:59

you can use the USB port , but when you set up the VAGCOM software you have to tell it to work as per a serial port iirc , thats what i had to do anyway

Joey122mac · 31-12-2006, 19:38

Was it hard to set up?
Is it easy to use?

Cheers

I have the HEX and CAN cable which is USB. No problems at all, load the software, plug the cable in and direct windows to the VAG-COM folder for the USB drivers.

Joey122mac · 31-12-2006, 20:24

Hi,

Thanks - Is the link posted in the inital thread a HEX and CAN cable?

If not can you point out where one is ?

Sorry I dont know anything about VAG COM

**VRStu** · 31-12-2006, 20:40

The cheapest method for you would be to get hold of a simple cable from ebay and either use the trial version or buy the license from Ross Tech at $99.

You don't need a CAN cable for your Fabia. Check the Ross Tech website for the info.

Could try this UK supplier:

USB ISO OBD-II / VAGCOM / AlfaDiag KKL Interface keywords [USBVAGCOM] - £29.99 : ECUFix, Affordable Technology

Mouse · 01-01-2007, 12:30

eBay.co.uk: VAG-COM USB KKL OBD 2 Cable VAG.COM interface AUDI / VW (item 260065466913 end time 14-Mar-07 22:59:21 GMT)

1st class delivery. Super quick UK based and good quality. Works well for me. Withdriver cd included.

**VRStu** · 01-01-2007, 12:55

Looks to be a good buy.

Add in the $99 and you've got a very cheap fully licensed cable.

Joey122mac · 01-01-2007, 15:01

Going to get the ebay one - Is iteasy to use - I m a little scared I could ause more problems then solve.

BTW: I work in IT so am a bit ashamed of that myself..

**VRStu** · 01-01-2007, 17:43

There is a downloadable manual on the Ross Tech site.

Joey122mac · 02-01-2007, 23:19

Am eagerly awaiting delivery of my VG COM cable - VAG-COM USB KKL OBD 2 Cable VAG.COM interface AUDI / VW

eBay.co.uk: VAG-COM USB KKL OBD 2 Cable VAG.COM interface AUDI / VW (item 260065466913 end time 14-Mar-07 22:59:21 GMT)

Can anybody sugest the download I need for this - Wasnt sure which download to go for ...

Thanks a lot

cjb · 02-01-2007, 23:25

With anything but a genuine Ross-Tech cable you need 409.

Joey122mac · 02-01-2007, 23:32

Thanks - Just downloaded this - :

http://www.ross-tech.net/vag-com/dow...ease4091us.exe

Hope its the right version for USB

Mouse · 02-01-2007, 23:37

Spot on with this 1. Enjoy and look for VRS STU`s postings and website, it will save you a lot of shoe leather.

Joey122mac · 02-01-2007, 23:43

Thanks Mouse -

Normally I use Fabia-vrs.com - Technical Index Stus website for parts info

Not seen any info here on setting up the VAG COM stuff ...

Any specific posts whih would make my life easier?

Thanks

**VRStu** · 03-01-2007, 00:22

All the info you should need for VAG-COM is covered on the Ross Tech site.

You are only concerned with scanning and you will need to scan each and every controller just to see what's what. Save the scans to a notepad or similar file and post them up.

You will see a whole list of controllers in each group but your Fabia will not have all of them so don't worry, autoscan will find the ones you have.

Joey122mac · 03-01-2007, 21:49

Just installed VAG - COM .

See file attatched -

However when I went to test any of the modules - ie Radio / Immobiliser - It ket comin back to me saying Controller Not Found

Joey122mac · 03-01-2007, 22:00

I should also add that I got the ebay cable that was reccomended here

You absolutely need to use the CD to install the drivers otherwsie the Ross Tech download, does include drivers for the cable.

**VRStu** · 03-01-2007, 22:41

so have you scanned anything?

Joey122mac · 03-01-2007, 22:48

I tried to scan the Radio / Immobilser - It kept failing saying No Response From Controller .

Which is strange becuase when I went test in VAG COM it said that connection was established.

I tried Auto Scan and also scaning individual modules , both of which failed.

Joey122mac · 03-01-2007, 22:55

Oops - The screenshot is attatched.

**VRStu** · 03-01-2007, 23:04

Are you using registered or demo?
