ok well which softwear do i need to download like which version for my car

 

all the same when u run vag-com and use auto scan it asks which vehi u have




otherwise if u pick just one module then it will automatically know which car it is

 

Hi pullacownaski, I got my cable from a seller named alpha-bid on ebay. To me, it's a good quality cable for less than $20.00. If you don't like ebay you can head on to his website http://www.alpha-bid.com/vagusb.html but I feel you're more protected when you buy through ebay. The cable came USPS Priority. Here is the link to download the software and instructions: http://www.alpha-bid.com/media/Produ...structions.pdf.

 

ok thanks and also did you use yours alot i saw some of the things you can do with it but like what are some of the really cool things i can do

 

we've got a lot of good info in our A6 forum: https://www.audiforums.com/forum/sho...d.php?t=134945

 

Go with VAG-COM's cable. It hurts to pay $250 for a cable and software, but it opens up more possibilities.
