I just got a new laptop for my graduation so i thought id look into getting VAG-COM. The only problem is i know nothing about it really lol could someone explain what kind of features it has for us...the lists ive found dont really explain it much...and how much am i looking at for a cable i remember seeing one for like $150-200 or something like that but dont remember where and ik theyere on ebay for like $10 but are they any different? Any help is greatly appreciated...thanks

 

Not trying to thread jack, but in addition to Crzy's question: Will VAG actively monitor fuel trims? I used a $300 scan setup on a former GM car and was able to actively monitor Knock Retard and Short and Long fuel trims... is this possible on VAG?... if it will I'll be ordering today... I guess I could call the manufacturer.

Thanks as well,
Ryan

 

The true Ross-tech cables come with up to date sw that lets you do many things. You can find most of them at their website www.ross-tech.com You can run logs to monitor a/f, timing, knock, boost (actual vs requested) and more.

 

Cincy you're my hero. Thanks.

Ryan

 

also if you go ebay, it may not work and if it does, you have to use the old sw and recieve no support

 

thanks for the link cincy...ik it has a list of features on the site but what can it really do for me...if i remember it can give me codes for things that are wrong...is it even reasonable to spend that kind of money on it...?
