I tried stock VCDS and it didn't find the cable. I don't have a CD drive, so I downloaded the cracked program after a quick google search. I didn't check it for malware, but I ran it in an isolated Windows XP virtual machine. I have a mac, so had to use virtual box anyway, but I turned off the access to the network adaptor so it couldn't 'get out' even if there was anything on there. There's a detailed guide (earlier in this thread I think) that explains how to do it all for free.

If you have a mac, you have to use virtual box, but if you're on windows it's still a good idea to use a virtual machine that's isolated from your main machine and network connection.

I also have a mac too, do I just download that software from the Internet? And also where did you get your cable from if you have a link?

I got mine from Ali express, I haven't got the link, sorry. And yes, I googled the software and eventually found and downloaded it.

Thanks, could you give me a idea for what to look for? What exact cable do I need?

 

[AndyN]

Yeah you need a VCDS 12.12 cable. Look to make sure software is included. They're usually about £10-20 +/- P&P.

Just read the sellers feedback and take a punt. That's all I did. and don't expect it sooner than a month. Don't waste your time with fast shipping because it's not fast at all. X

Got mine from alixpres as well.
Got it faster than I thought, 2 weeks and it was delivered. I just have to wait for the car now before I can use the cable =)

 

[nokiauk]

Done a scan of mine and got module 33 flux capacitor error in connection though. Guess this is an Easter egg of sorts?

Has anyone got a link?

The one i bought ok alixpress isn't available anymore. But the user i bought from has a website, here is the same cable i bought: http://www.cobdtrade.com/vagcom-121...gcom12120-car-diagnostic-usb-cable_p4818.html

Hehe, yeah I think it's the programmers at Ross Tech are having a bit of a laugh

I found this in one of my scans too but what I had done was I didn't change my system time back to when I first installed the VCDS software (the instructions for my VCDS s/w advised changing date to 15th Oct 2013 or something like it) I was running it in Feb 2014 so I was effectively time travelling like in the film Back to the Future. I'm assuming that's what the flux capacitor reference is for

I did however set my system date back to 15th Oct 2013, date I first installed the s/w, on my virtual machine, re-ran the scan and the flux capacitor module was no longer there

If anyone who has coded cornering fogs want both lit up in reverse then:

09 central electric
16 security access
Unlock code 31347
10 adaptations
From drop down select - (1) static AFS light-bei Rueckwaertsfahrt
Set value to Double Sided from OFF
Do It

That's it done.

Hope this may help someone.

Just ordered the same one . Hopefully it arrives soon and I can start playing with all the settings

Seems aliexpress rotate their product pages quite quickly, so here is the seller's page of where I got mine from:

aliexpress.com/store/507537

Product title is "Free Shipping VAG 12.12.0 VAG 12.12 VAG 11.11.6 HEX CAN USB Interface Update VAG 12.10 vag 11.11.4 support car to 2014"

Works perfectly, and I had no trouble with the included software. Just installed it and got to work.

It seems to me like those auctions with VCDS cables are being deleted.

 

[Leonmb]

I have found these, which one do you think would be best to go for?

http://www.aliexpress.com/premium/V...&isViewCP=y&catId=0&I18nSearchText=VCDS+12.12


I also have a mac, can i still install the software or will it have to be windows xp?

Thanks

 

[komoornik]

Not Mac compatible for sure.

The $18.99 one is what you need.

You can use your Mac if you install virtualbox and run Xp/Win 7 as a virtual machine.

Thanks

Thanks for the links guys, I have just ordered mine.

Can't wait to have a play. Really want to enable alarm chirp and mirror dip!
