i have vagcom but have never got it working with the car, its the cheap ebay cable which i know people have had working but i get com port errors when trying to use it.....anyways i want to dedicate this thread to anyone wanting to ask questions about vagcom, i dont personally know much about it but hoping that the people who do will use this thread to answer some of our questions. i will post the first:D

1. Can my 1.2 2002 beeza get the 3 indicator clicks when u tap the indicator stock and how to i programme this?
 
No doubt that com port is being used by something on your PC. Is it a USB cable? If so you need to go control panel ---> system---> hardware---->device manager, and find the ports (com&LPT) and change the usb port com port setting to something like com port 2.

The in VAG.com change the setting to com port 2
 
Do these cheap (Around £15 cables) actually work?

And can I do stuff like program my windows to go up when I hold down my keyfob?

You cant program the windows to go up & down with the keyfoe with vag-com mate, you need a kvw100 auto window kit like me :)
 
The cheap cables do work, Ive got one. They can be a bit of a pain to setup though. There are loads of things you can do with vagcom, just have a search. There was a thread about the windows a while ago, but I cant remember the outcome, sorry.
 
Comfort rear wiper is a good one:

Here is now to do it, turn the cars ignition on and wire up your cable and start the VAG-COM software... from the main VAG-COM screen go for "Select control module" and on the next screen select "09-Cent. Elect." it will then connect to your cars central electronics menu and you then want to select "Coding" at this point you have two editable fields... the one we are editing is the software coding one. The original code on mines was 00140 ... do add the comfort wipe function I added 8192 to that, so changed the code to 08332 and clicked "Do It!" At this point I clicked "Coding" again to make sure that it had changed. Basically take the key and cable out - start the engine and put your front wipers on and then select reverse gear - the wiper should come on.

Selective locking:

To disable Auto Locks...

Turn on ignition, start up VAG-COM

Go to "Select control module" from the main menu.
Select "46 - Central conv."
Click on "Adaption - 10"
Press "Up" next to channel number and watch for "Auto Lock" at the top.
When found Auto Lock, set "New Value" to '0' from '1' click "Test" then "Save"
Press "Up" next to channel number and watch for "Auto Unlock" at the top.
When found Auto Unlock, set "New Value" to '0' from '1' click "Test" then "Save"
Then click "Done, Go Back"

Remove key from ignition then the next time you start up those annoying locks won't bother you.

To disable Selective Unlocking

Turn on ignition, start up VAG-COM

Go to "Select control module" from the main menu.
Select "46 - Central conv."
Click on "Recode - 07"
The number in at present will be a even number, add one to that number to make it an odd number then click "Do It".
Remove keys from ignition and lock the car - the next time you go to unlock pressing the unlock button will unlock everything.

The thread is here, I did it and it worked with a cheap cable. But you don't use VAG-COM the thread will tell you how. http://www.seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=115352

£13 and I had remote windows and unlike the single use dongles you can get to enable remote windows the £13 cable can then be used with VAG-COM.
