revo select plus switch and vag-com?

<< < (2/3) > >>

Hedge:
I think I understand now.
To use VCDS on a MK5 you will need a CAN capable cable. Check here www.ross-tech.com, a micro-can is sufficient. :happy2:
The REVO select switch on the end of a USB lead is not enough.

vRStu:
VCDS (VAG-COM) software is not free, the registration is built into the cable as a sort of dongle.

SteveS:
darn

the older version 409 or close... says it works with third party cables. so they cant have the "registration" built in..

Hedge:
The 409 version will work with 3rd party ebay cables but not with a CAN-Bus based car.

It MUST be the latest s/w version plus either a Micro CAN or Hex-CAN-USB cable.
