Have upgraded from freeware to licensed VAG COM

Hi,

Just wondered if it's normal after activating my license that many of the individual 'control modules' still can't be accessed. When i select auto-scan, it goes through quite a lot of them but there are some where the message 'no response from controller. retry?' comes up if i select the individual control modules....

...is this normal and is it because i may not have the options on my car to check it?

I have a 2000 Audi A8 3.7 Quattro Sport and using an ebay dongle (which has worked great with the freeware 311.2-N and have now got the license and want to make sure it all works as it should.

Also, have seen a lot of vag-com tricks for the A4 but are there any for the A8 that i can play with?

Thanks,

Oli

Yes, that's perfectly normal. VAG-COM will check all modules that could have been fitted to your car in an auto-scan, so there will be several modules that you get no response from
