Just curious if anyone has had any experience running the ross-tech software on a mac. I realize I will have to set up a virtual PC with parallels, or something similar then run the RT software through that. And since the mac only has USB ports will there be any issues here as opposed to the comm ports normally on PCs. I really would like to get this going since I am about to mover about 3 hours away from the closest scan tool.

Thanks

 

Nobody huh? oh well. I guess I will have to be the official mac vag com guy when I finally get around to ordering all the stuff.

 

Buy a code reader.

I'd say get the USB cable & a license of XP... use Boot Camp Assistant (sweet because its free & you already have it, just search with spotlight) to make a Windoze partition & install your copy of XP on there. then reboot in Windoze & install your VAG-COM software... plug in ebay cable .... voila!

 

thanks. i didn't realize my macbook already had that. I have a copy xp that came with my compaq that i think i will try to load tonight. sounds pretty easy.

 

yup, it is very easy that's why I love Macs!

good luck... too bad you're not closer, I'd like to see it in action. something so curious about seeing windoze running on a Mac haha
