wackojackouk Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Hi guys Got my Vag com lead and connected it up fearing no chance of it working but it did :( Anyway all connected up and selected Sharan as the car (I hope this was right....) Did the auto scan (I'm on COM4 btw) and module 1 and 2 were fine albeit it module 1 had an intermittant immobiliser start fault - although never had a problem starting her up (so far fingers x). Module 2 had no errors and then when doing Module 3 I got a pop saying Non registered / shareware version etc and bombed out. Is this normal? Did manage to connect to various others including no 18 aux heater which had a flame out error. I cleared the codes (hope this was the right thing to do) and so far neither have come back. Thoughts... WJUK Quote
gregers Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 yeah i think your running the free version of vag?so certain parts of it are locked until you part with more dosh to unlock it. Quote
big_kev Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 Some of the faults will be historical ( could be from a long time ago ) and may just have been caused by maintenance work....things being unplugged etc. If the faults clear ok and don't come back then all is probably fine. Don't know why you can't connect to Module 3 ABS ? might just be a bit twitchy, worth looing at your ports setting and try reducing the baud rate. Quote
Jayton Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I think he only had a problem with 03 when auto-scanning with his shareware version of VAG-COM, which would be the problem. Quote

I think I can connect to Module 3 (will have to retry tomorrow) if I go into the individual ones but not if I do the autoscan option. Can anyone try it on there's and see if it's ok with auto scanning when they get chance? Also baud rate etc..... idiots version please (I do know a bit about computers but....) lol Quote
Mirez Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 I'm fairly sure it won't autoscan using the shareware version. Quote
big_kev Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 It definitely won't autoscan using the shareware version...see link below http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/vag-functions.html Quote

Jayton Posted February 23, 2010 Report Posted February 23, 2010 There are, but it's illegal to crack the software. It's a lot of money, but so is Quote
big_kev Posted February 24, 2010 Report Posted February 24, 2010 Thats alot of money for the full version, i wonder if there a way round it. Remember it has a good resale value as well, so even though it may seem expensive its a lot cheaper than getting a dealer to do it. Quote
