An essential piece of kit for Audi, Volkswagen, Seat and Skoda owners -
save time and money with this VAG_COM OBD II interface which enables
you to connect your PC to your car so that you can troubleshoot any
problems in your vehicle by reading the Diagnostic Trouble Codes
(DTC¡¯s) that appear when the ¡®check engine¡¯ light is showing.
This
adapter is fully compatible with the diagnostic software version 409.1
from VAG-COM ¨C a software programme that turns your PC into a
sophisticated diagnostic tool.
Benefits
Save
on expensive garage fees by diagnosing your car¡¯s faults before you
take it to be fixed - make sure that you are only being charged for the
actual problem

an old banger
Don¡¯t fork out for the expensive VAG-1551 or
VAG-1552 scan tools - purchase this cable for a fraction of the cost
and download the VAG-COM software instead

What System Requirements do I NeedA
PC or laptop that is running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000 or XP. A
Pentium 100 (or AMD equivalent) that has 16MB of RAM is recommended.
VAG-COM only needs 1MB or less, so availability of disk-space is not a
problem.
How to get Started
Download the
shareware 409.1 for a free trial or purchase the registered version
from the manufacturer¡¯s website:www.ross-tech.com
Run it, follow the prompts and let it install (on your PC or laptop¡¯s hard disk)
Plug one end of the interface into a serial (RS232) (or USB) port on your PC and the other into your car¡¯s OBD II port
Turn on the ignition without starting the engine
Start
the VAG-COM programme, click ¡®options¡¯, select the correct
communications port and run the test to confirm that the programme is
working and can find the interface. Click ¡®save¡¯.
We
want to make it even easier for you to use your OBDII USB cable, so
here are some links to sites where you can download the software:Free Software
Software Available to Purchase
My Car is Pre 1996 – What can I doVAG-COM
also works with many 1990 – 1995 (pre OBD I) cars but these may need a
2x2 cable adapter, which we are selling separately. Please check our
other listings.
