VCDS (VAG-COM) codes and programmable options for Golf Mk7

**NVRENUF** · 16-04-2013, 10:50 AM

Hi guys

I just got a Ross-Tech cable.. Well actually got it for my Audi,
Though thought i might have a play with my Company car Golf also.

Though unlike the audi forum i can't find here a document that has all the cool vagcom
coding listed.

has anyone got a list of different vagcom codes that can be used that are tried and tested ?

Thanks

Tim

None of us have a Golf 7 yet but the Golf 6 thread is here: The Official VWW VCDS Tweak Library

NVRENUF:
Ryan_R was kind enough to introduce me to the VCDS sytem in another thread. I've made some fledgling attempts to understand the basics on the Ross-Tech website (and on this forum). I have a MK7 that I'm interested in trying out the VAG com software. Can you tell me which cable you have and if you have been successful in talking to your Golf. I assume that we both have the "AU" chasis (I got this from my VIN). Ross-tech has a few different versions of thier cables (at vastly different prices), so I'm keen to understand what will work (and what will not work) on my vehicle

Hi mate, I have a Ross-tech HEX+CAN USB cable. It works fine with my daughters Mk 7 Golf. Haven't played much with it yet (she's hardly ever home) but did turn the seatbelt chime off just to test it. Ordered it direct from Ross-tech in the US for around $470 delivered to oz.
Cheers

Winchy:
Thanks for the response. If I could press you with one further question (please). What Windows operating platform are you using on your laptop?

**winchy** · 02-10-2013, 04:02 PM

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, but the order process will take you through all that. I'm sure they want to send you the right cable the first time.

I've used it with XP, Win 7, and Win 8 x64 without issue

Winchy/Ryan_R,
Thanks again for your input. I'm still trying to understand ther potocols for VAG COM. As I don't have a Cable yet, I thought that I would try to see what the connector signals look-like on my CRO. Started by looking at CAN_H & CAN_L pins. Didn't look like what I had imagined. I had thought that the two pins represented logic High and Logic Low (man, was I wrong!). Seems to be somekind of differential signal (which I guess is to be expected given the noisy environment). Anyway, I think that need to do a bit more reading. The journey continues!
