Leon 1P Vag-Com Cable ** Canbus OBD Diagnostics**

[LeonES]

Looks a more 'official' solution by clever use of VAG banners at the top but the cable and disc look very similar to the DHGate one I've ordered above. Slight difference in price though, mines only £17 delivered so that'd be the only reason I'd go for the cheaper one first.

EDIT:
Actually reading more about the company on their website VAG-Diags seem to be offering cables and software that mean you are legit as far as Ross-Tech are concerned, so assume no messing with hostfiles and internet blocking to make sure the cable works. They also promise good support so I'd go for it if I were you Eric and let us know what its like, in case my cable's crap..!

I think I'll bite the bullet and go for it, off on holiday next week so it'll be a month or so before I can give any impressions of it. Looking forward to the gauge sweep .

Good news I've today seen the setting for this. They can be changed from 1 - 5 flashes by doing the following:
Central elect
Channel 31
Then amend the value from the standard 3 to anything between 1-5
Then do it

Hope this helps

Can this be done on pre fl? i have searched and searched but cant find the option

Does anyone know how to adjust the sensitivity of the auto headlamp function?
I think it's too sensitive it puts the headlamps on when its cloudy.

I have a VAG 908 cable , can anyone point me to the software that will work an 8xx.xx software says drivers out of date and latest version says not plugged into car :-(

 

[Tfsi_Mike]

Retarded question, it's been that long since I used it...

Does the engine need to be running for it to recognise the car?

 

[cheungy]

engine does not need to be on...(optional really)

you can go into the settings page on vagcom and do a test on the usb port to see if its picking up the car.

I have pm'd you a link, hope it all works for you mate.

also if your running on 64bit I have a fix too.

Have you used the software that came with the lead or downloaded some, if you have downloaded some you may have killed the lead.

Hi
Ive just received the cable below
dhgate.com/sample-famous-brand-super-2010-hex-usb-can/p_ff8080812bf28ba2012c0d82a8357757
Ive got win 7 64bit the main Ross tech driver installs fine but Im left with another usb driver with a yellow flag. I cannot get this driver to update with any of the drivers on the disc. I have used it the cable with a old laptop with xp and it works fine but the battery has had it so its not ideal. Anyway has anyone got there win 7 64bit running ok?

I have just purchased a cable from DHgate for £19. Hopefully it works.

It might be worth you posting a request in the VAG-COM section to see if someone can help you out and save you the agro:

Is there anyone in the Birmingham area that would help me find the reason as to why my air bag light is on and to remove it as i have been told my airbags are disabled while it is on

 

[Si]

Well got the cable from HK.
Works with VCDS when I test the port (Sees it as a Ross-Tech HEX - CAN USB Interface, but as soon as I connect the cable to the car and do the test it says Port: OK, Interface: Not found.

Any ideas? Using 106 cable with 10.6.4 VCDS.

Daft question BUT you've got the ignition turned on?

 

[ElasticTangent]

So.... I bought the £80 cable from VAG-Diagnostics and it arrived today. The software is VCDS 10.6.4 and the cable is VAG113. Just been out and tested it and it all works really well. I've already enabled the needle sweep feature.

There are warnings all over the printed manual about not connecting to the internet whilst installing or running the software. It goes on to say that doing say may damage the cable. Sounds a little suspicious to me and might suggest that if you try and update the software it won't work.

 

[Masterkm]

I have bought the DHgate cable 10.6, just waiting for delivery from singapore/hk. But i have a few questions about using it.

Would the ignition need to be on? Does the internet need to be active too?

I know i might sound a lil dumb to this but seriously dont want to mess up anything when i get the cable.

 

[ElasticTangent]

Would the ignition need to be on? Does the internet need to be active too?

Ignition needs to be on (and engine running for some functions). No need for an internet connection.

 

[Si]

Daft question BUT you've got the ignition turned on?

Yep, ignition is on and internet is off.

Hmmm...interesting, as it clearly states in the sales bumf that "Our CAN-HEX-USB VCDS cables are fully activated and registered with Ross Tech's VCDS 908, 912,10.6 and 11 Beta software".

Mine arrives tomorrow
