What is the best/cheapest scan tool?

[Miss Chief]

I'll have a look at my disc, see how big the files are. Might be able to email them if they're small enough.

OK cool, would be really helpful

 

[LEE69]

The cd is to download aswell on the link you fools

[1986brandon1]

Yeah I found that last night, Cheers anyway LEE69.

 

[1986brandon1]

Is there a decent guide anywhere to use this? Unless I'm doing something really wrong the software I downloaded isn't working.

 

[LEE69]

Where did you d/l the software from?

 

[1986brandon1]

The link you posted earlier in the thread, from the DX website.

My original disk is scratched so wont load.

 

[LEE69]

Just d/l it and it's ok, you need winrar to open it.
double click 11.11.3 make sure the wifi- /internet is off, plug in the lead should be fine

 

[1986brandon1]

Ok, cheers for the help. It seems to have downloaded properly now, So I will have a read of the manual and go have a play.

You're a star.

Last question, ignition on or off? It doesn't seem to say.

 

[LEE69]

Ignition on

 

[1986brandon1]

Awesome, Thank you

Want to run a check on my car and delete airbag light on my clusters. (discontented them with ignition on >.<)
Should I get vag com and run it through a laptop or dont bother with it and get those small VGate scanners which you plug directly to the car?

Cheers

Right I've followed everything as i should, i go on options and test and get an error message saying Ross Tech usb interface not found. USB library version then some date.

 

[LEE69]

get the cds/vag com them hand held ones are not much good compared

sounds like the drivers are not installed

 

[1986brandon1]

How do I download that properly? This is what happened last time I tried.

 

[LEE69]
