Hi all,

 

Got a 1.9TDI 2000 Model Galaxy. I'm looking to invest in vag-com and was hoping for information as what software and lead to buy for my model.

 

Information and any links much appreciated.

 

Thanks.

Vag-com is the software product name although there are similar products it seems to be the highest rated......visit www.ross-tech.com

 

 

The best lead to get is a serial one ( if your pc supports it ).....the usb ones have been a source of a lot of trouble although some users claim succesful working with them .....again visit Rosstech for more info.

 

You will fin various leads for sale on ebay.

Thanks for the reply Kev.

 

Gotta go for the USB connection. I have no serial one. Does this sound like the right lead, got it of ebay.

(USB KKL Vag-Com Cable/Interface VW Audi Scanner VAG COM).

 

Thanks again.

It's only the 'cheap and nasty' Ebay type USB cables that give problems. If you buy from Ross-Tech, there will be no problem whatsoever with a USB lead - in fact, it will be more 'future proof' in light of the reduction in the number of laptops with parallel ports.

i got the serial port one from ebay then found id no serial port on the laptop !!!! i got a usb to serial adaptor but all i get is on the screen when testing is , no responce form controller. i then read the website info from ross tech that all the usb to serial adaptors dont work with vagcom so im now having to buy a usb one and hope that works.
