the911sc Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Ok, so I am probably at the point where I need to get a full HEX-CAN vag cable rather than my ebay special dumb version. I am adding a bluetooth OEM phone adapter which requires coding and coding of the nav system so the cheapo one will not work.. Anyone know a good source of these that are quite cheap?. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 6, 2006 Report Share Posted April 6, 2006 Sk, here has some compatable and official leads. www.skpang.co.uk I buy mine direct from ross-tech in the US. Ive bought two now and they are a pleasure to deal with and lightening fast delivery. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchet Posted April 7, 2006 Report Share Posted April 7, 2006 I bought a fully working cable from a guy called car_tuning_kovacs from eBay.de. It works with VAG-COM 512.4 fine, but I'm on my 3rd cable from him now (under warranty), as after a few hours of connection, the dongle bit seems to disable or break, and the cable becomes a dumb one! I think I paid about £100 for it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] eBay cables won't be able to code the RNS-E units as they also have a CAN connection. I think you'd need a full on Ross-Tech cable and version 512. In fact, I blew my eBay cable when I tried to scan 'Navigation'!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] You don't need a CAN connection to recode the RNS-E, just a K-line - many people on the Navplus website have installed and recoded RNS-E's using a dual K-line VAG-COM, the exceptions are B7 A4's and 8P A3's which DO need a CAN capable lead. But you do need to use a version of VAG-COM that's 409 or later - which rules out most of the eBay cables. It is easier with 510 or later, since they have the long coding helper.

Mitchet Posted April 10, 2006 Report Share Posted April 10, 2006 I stand corrected! ... although my eBay cable is still shafted after trying to scan the Nav module. I'm feeling the need to go and buy a proper one from Ross-Tech! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted April 14, 2006 Report Share Posted April 14, 2006 You would need a CAN cable for A3 8P, A6 C6 and A8 D3 as they use a can gateway now, DUAL K-line cable required for all other cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benjie Posted April 28, 2006 Report Share Posted April 28, 2006 Can you just buy a vag-com cable from ross tech? I thought you had to buy the cable/license as a package? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Posted April 29, 2006 Report Share Posted April 29, 2006 Its an all in one price now, as the cables are intelligent and automaticaly unlock the software for the full version. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
