is it so you use a licensed version of VAG-com? i have rosstech's shareware version which is more than enough for identifying codes and what not.

Re: Official "Who has Vag-Com" Thread

i think if you just want the basic features, you can get away with the older shareware version and an ebay cable. the new version needs the new cable that has a dongle in it, which is what the vag-com software looks for for all the features to be available. I think the latest version you d/l from rosstech requires a cable with a dongle... maybe...

Re: Official "Who has Vag-Com" Thread

Rosstech no long updates the old software. Therefor to use the latest software you have to have a adapter with a dongle built in (key and new hex series). You can scan and clear codes with the shareware version but that is about it.

It is built into the price now. Ross-tech wanted to stop people from pirating their software and that was the best way to do it. Really I don't blame them.

Re: Official "Who has Vag-Com" Thread

may need a quick scan due to removal of battery

Removing my battery can require a scan? I must have just got lucky the few times I've unhooked it or taken it out.

Re: Official "Who has Vag-Com" Thread

I live in South central Edmonton and have the newest USB version (KEY-COM I think).
I am looking to borrow TDI timing belt tools if anyone would trade for a while.
If you need a scan e-mail me at alex.campbell@edmonton.ca
