dan -

That would be awesome. Do you have a Ross-Tech USB cable?

 

certainly do.

 

Ahhh man. I'm gettin' excited. Did you ever sell that Powermac?

 

nope, decided to keep it and got work to buy my powerbook heh

 

that would be a super sweet setup specially with the bluetooth. How would that work though woud you have a plug in device in your socket thingy and it would just be a blue tooth one with no cord that would put out a signal? i didnt even know they made that but that sounds awsome. Also how much is this setup going to cost you? i know the mini mac is somewhere around $500 what screen would you run? thanks

 

I'm just getting my generi tool registered through Ross-tech today. I would recommend just going all the way with rosstech. they have mad support. Mine works fine and can do everything, but you have to register the SW to get all the listings of the codes.

 

If you have this, http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/2x2-2...rdZ1QQtcZphoto and a laptop computer. Can you pull codes etc?

 

im not to sure on this but you need some kinda of software for it... if you buy it from ross-tech its 99$ for the software and im not sure but alot of the ebay cables dont fit.

 

what exactly is CAN support? and say i buy a VAG-COM is there a book or website that will translate all the fault codes into english?

 

i'm a fan of using products that just work, my time is worth more to me than the savings I'd make buy buying generic and hoping it works. I got the HEX-USB+CAN interface last week and I've done everything i needed to do on both my A4 and the r32 and had no problems at all with it. Great quality product.

I didnt get a chance to try it in VirtualPC today, I'll give it a shot tonight if i can find my windows CDs
