Title: VCDS Lite Vagcom - xenon retro fit
Post by: GTI_UK on November 22, 2012, 08:40:21 am

Hi guys,

I don't have it at the moment but wondering if the VCDS lite by Ross-Tech would allow me to change the light setting which are required following xenon retro fit?

So only a original Ross-Tech cable can be used or are there other alternatives?

Also, does this module option HAVE to be changed?

Yes. It has to be coded otherwise your likely to get flickering lights.

yeh you need have them coded or they will just flicker on and off , you will need a real vcds cable. Im sure some one close to you on here will have one , try the vcds area on here and see ? .

VCDS Lite doesn't work on mk5 platforms, even if you buy a license for the fake cable.

Could you elaborate please? Are you saying I would need both a 'proper' cable and a different licenced software?

You need either Hex-CAN-USB cable or a Micro CAN cable.
