Will VAGCOM work on a Andriod Tab?

[Jay1990]

As above really, looking at getting a VAGCOM cable and what not for the car. I have a netbook so thats pretty small to use while im in the car but would the software work if I plugged the cable into a tablet and opened the software on the tablet?

Cheers for your help.

No, it only works on Windows

am pretty sure the software is on a disc and note books or tablets dont take discs so am pretty sure that would be a no. unless somw techno geek comes along and says other wise.

Should work fine on a netbook, the VCDS software is available to download on the vagcom website.

You can't get "VAGCOM" aka VCDS on Android no. However you can get other fault scanning tools

The closest you can get is torque on Android, however it needs a bluetooth obd device. Despite it having a USB port, the torque software isn't set up to use it. I guess because most phones don't have a host USB port so it wouldn't make sense to get it working with one.

Stay tuned.... near the end of the year we hope to offer a wireless product that does work on any machine that has wifi and a web browser... Watch details here: http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds-mobile/index.html

sounds great but will it offer full functionality and comparible sample rates compared to the full versions.

The hope is that it will be able to do all that the current full VCDS version can do. From what I have see thus far, seems our team is making that happen.

Sample rates are determined by the ECU - not the diagnostic tool. As long as he tool has the compute power to receive the messages at the rate the ECU can deliver them, the tool has no effect on the sample rates.
