Leon Alarm Setting ??

[cupra_brown]

unfortunately in carrot cruncher land, there seems to be only a few of us seat boys and girls around.
hopefully i am going to get the alarm chirp done by the stealers, so that one will be sorted.

think my best option will be to get vag.com for myself.

how much did you spend in total cupraloon for your software and cable etc?

 

[skahigh]

i know the question was directed at loon but for me the cable and software license came to a total of about £65.

 

[cupra_brown]

really ska? that is cheap.
dont spose you could give me some links to where you got them from?

i was expecting more like 150 quid. dunnio why though

 

[skahigh]

errr....i posted this in another thread this evening....i'll find the link...

cheers m8
if you would be so kind

 

[cupra_brown]

sorry to be a pain ska, but there is siht loads of leads on there . i am confused.
i have dled ver 704 of vag, and will be using usb connection.

dont suppose when you get time , you could send us a linky to the appropriate lead?

the way my luck is going atm, i dont fancy taking a guess!

 

[Cupraloon]

The lead cost £3.99 + £7.99 P&P from Alpha-bid in the states via Ebay so in total £11.98

and the software licence was $99.00 at current exchange rates thats £49.00

So in total a tad under £62.00

unfortunetly i also cost me a further £60 for a new hard drive & screen for me crappy old laptop, which i hadn't used for 2 years..

alpha-bid are here http://search.stores.ebay.com/alpha-bid_vag-com-usb_W0QQfcdZ2QQfciZQ2d1QQfclZ3QQfromZR10QQfsnZalphaQ2dbidQQfsooZ1QQfsopZ1QQsaselZ53254725QQsatitleZvagQ2dcomQ20usbQQsofpZ0

You will also need either version 311.2 or 409.1 from Ross-tech, more than likly 311.2 which is the one i used

plus the FTDI usb drivers for XP which is the better O/S to use as my Win2K wouldn't work properly.

Also when testing your com ports in vag-com if you cannot get a response, you may need to change the bawd rate of normally com3 from 9600 to 4800 as i had to.

BUT !!!! a word of caution, cheek for a white label under your bonnet which has CAN-BUS stamped on it, if you have this you will need a completley different cable which is a lot more expensive, from what i can make out.

I don't want t put you off, but if your not clued up on computers you might find all this a bit daunting, I used to work in I.T and i found it it very frustrating, tyring to get it all working properly.., so good luck...

Vag-com Settings

Ok, as a follow up,

I've been in and fiddled with my setting's so far I've

Enabled the interior volunmmetric sensors
Enabled the alarm 'chirps'
Enabled the auto locking over 10mph
Enabled selective unlocking


with the alarm chirps, the standard horn is used to chirp, not a seperate alarm siren but it's ok, it sort of goes 'beep' on unlocking a 'beep' 'beep' on locking, which doesn't sound great Tbh, but it's ok, might change the noise if i can find out how.

My next job will be to enable the auto window roll up, so i'm off the find out how, right now......

Just been out to do the same. My 53 plate chirps...(Different noise to the horn) I have changed the alarm tune too....

No fault codes (get in!!)

Reset the service light on my mates RS4 too.... Charge out rate £65/hr....Anyone interested???

 

[Cupraloon]

Longman, thats interesting where abouts in vag-com do you change the alarm chirps, i've had a search and cannot find anything on how to do it..

The other thing i wanted to do the remote operated window roll up, and and i know there was something on this only a 3 or even 4 weeks ago, but i've searched and searched, and can't find anything,

Any ideas at all ???

 

[Funkyfin2000]

can u change the volume of the chirps do you know????

 

[longman]

Loon..

Alarm tones are:
Central Conv Module 46
Adaptation 10
Open Channel 10
choose 0, 1, 2, 3 for different tones, it should tell you which one is which but I can't remember - They correspond to Britain, Germany, Row (Rest of world) for some reason. - Mine did anyway

I am fairly sure the auto window up thing needs a seperate module thing to operate it that you have to buy for the car... I remember that too...

Help at all?

I just searched for Autowindows...

 

[Funkyfin2000]

autowindow you need to buy the KVW100 module off ebay for £25 or vagproduct.co.uk i think!

bought mine for £25 and plug in obd2 port for 3mins job done!

anyway of changing volume then?

 

[longman]

I don't know for sure... I wil investigate and let you know.

When you go into each channel, the latest 704 version of VAG-COM tells you what the channel does....Not sure if the older ones do.

I will go through them and perhaps post up all the results when I get a chance.

 

[Cupraloon]

Cheers for those links Longman,

I've only got the windows versh, with USb, no Dos/serial cable i'm affraid,

Guess i'm gonna end up buying a KVW100 at some point,

 

[longman]

I'm the same, dos/serial?? Bit old school aye!!

Perhaps the KVW100 thing is the way forward, I will give it a miss but would be interested to hear your result.

ta ta!

 

[Funkyfin2000]

longman is you could let us know about volume that would be great!"

 

[longman]

I will have a look mate!
