VAG cables - look what I found

**moniker** · 06-08-2009, 02:37 PM

Just stumbled across this (I have bought a few things from here in the past and the range of products is simply amazing)
Prices always include shipping ($US)

There's a newer (CAN?) one also

Comments?

I have an ebay cable and 'hacked' software for my car but these look interesting to say the least.

Cheers,

Good find! I've ordered quite a few things from them too and have not been let down yet. I've just ordered one of the CAN cables to test on my Tig. Thanks a million!

Well, I finally got my cable in the post on Friday. I was quite excited when I saw it purported to support Vagcom VCDS 805.1, so I installed it and plugged the cable in. Unfortunately the cable keeps getting recognised, then disappears, then gets recognised again, and so on. I have tried it on 3 different machines now (Win XP, Vista 32, and Vista 64) and it doesn't work on any

So I have filled in an RMA form and hopefully will get my money back, though I am not holding my breath. I've also noticed the SKU has disappeared from their site, so it must be a problem product. Guess I deserve it hey!

Did you make sure you opened a new coms port on the computer? The cables won't work without a new one being setup....I found this when borrowing a Ross-Tech VAG cable, i would get an intermittent signal untill the correct driver was installed and a new COM port was connected....
