Just ordered a 3rd party VAGCOM, take a look

[StephanCupra]

Hey guys what d'you think of this?

http://www.aobd2shop.com/wholesale/vagcom-v12.12-release.html

WARNING: IF YOU BUY THIS, DO NOT USE IT WHEN LAPTOP IS CONNECTED TO THE INTERNET IN ANY WAY WHATSOEVER. IT WILL UPDATE AND NO LONGER WORK.

Anyone know which version of VCDS I will need to download from RossTech to work this?

Thanks

It seems to be on the page you linked to?

"This is new release Verison v12.12. 0"

 

[Dan FR]

It will come with the cracked software, supplied on a disc as pictured.

 

[andypower]

let us know if it works though please.

 

[Homer Simpson]

I have similar, from different supplier. Cost was just under £12, works perfect on 12.12.0

On startup it prompts me there is an update, I just click no and continue

It does all I need it to do on a 10 year old car

I'd also be interested to know how you get on with this pal, let us know cheers

How did you get on with this?

Ok well I ordered one of these because I thought it was worth the risk for just over a tenner... The result? Works perfectly.
I have an Audi A3 Saloon (8v) model which is pretty new and I've just enabled needle sweep, lap timer and a couple of other things I found online.

Easy to install, works a treat. As with all non-genuine cables, just ensure you're not connected to the internet. It also sets your system date back when you run (part of the crack) so it could be worth setting it up in a little VM if you are going to use it a lot (or on a dedicated laptop).

For a tenner you really can't go wrong. £200+ for an original to do a few odd tweaks at home? No thanks.

You have to go into device manager, select the device, choose to install drivers and then choose location as the CD.

turned out you need it plugged in the obd2 port to draw it`s power , older ones worked off the usb port

I have 2013 Ibiza ST 1.4.
I am pretty new to this vag com thing, and don't know which cable to choose, that it would work with my car.

What is the difference between VAG-COM and VCDS?

VCDS and VAG- Com are the same thing as a number of names. But the link at the top looks like a hacked cable which is risky as it has been known to course problems to your car. For piece of mind I wouldn't mess around I would buy the ross-tech genuine lead for piece of mind.

 

[Baggik]

I know the cable is not genuine ross tech, but as i only need it for a one time job, i am not willing to pay 300€+ for a genuine cable.

So both of this cables should work?
