about VW ON-LINE programming

[Guy_H]

Indeed the VAS 5053 (I think they are up to now) needs to log onto Germany to initialise certain modules - for certain I know that these are the instrument cluster, & engine ECU. I think VCDS (with the correct information) can do ABS controllers & airbag controllers (+ the lessor modules).

On most of these new cars, the mileage is stored internally in all the above modules - makes it difficult to change the instruments & have a lower mileage if you know where to look!

Who told you that? I'm just asking, since the dealers will not recognise the VCDS when you ask them, for very same reason - training outside of box. Email Ross-tech see what they say.

my mother told me that . ross-tech is not able to deal on these ONLINE cases.

Probably would be, if you knew the log in codes. It looks like that only the dealer can help you.

Maybe your mother knows what's better than Ross-tech and can share the knowledge with us.

some old cars (such as passat b5,golf IV, etc) can use 4 or 7 login codes. but the new cars(such as which were built in 'direct injection engine') can't .
VW's mother is powerful.

One other option I forgot to mention is the "Auto Logic" tool, this tool has a lot of factory capabilities & can do module coding.

It's very expensive to purchase & the subscription is also. If you can find a workshop with one of these, they may be able to help you with "on line" coding.

Anyone ever find a solution to this? or someone to do it? I just purchased one of these (upgrading from the lowline DIS) I have VCDS but quickly discovered it needs more than just a few check-boxes and long coding to activate.
any ideas/help would be greatly appreciated (as good as it looks as a coffee table paperweight)

I assume the dealers have the tools you need, not sure about the know-how though

haha thats always the way though isn't it, abundant equipment, severely limited know-how. So no tools which will deliver the cluster unlock code? or a way to bypass it (yes i know the danger of making finding the code too easy to find.. car theives, chop shops and so on)

considering our dealer VAS pc cost somewhere upwards of 10g, its no surprise you guys with your $200 lead cant do the things we do. Alot of it has to do with VW authorisation.

Considering how many bad experiences there are mentioned concerning most dealers, it's no surprise many go the DIY route and spend $300-400 on a cable
