s3ollie Posted April 15, 2006 Report Share Posted April 15, 2006 hi what software for the ross-tech site is right for my usb lead i have brought from ebay. there is a choice of about eight in the 409.1 & 311.1 section. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchet Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 Did you get the cable from a seller called e-cafe?! Version 311.2n or 409 will work, but you'd need to configure VAG-COM to look at the com port which the USB cable is emulating (you can find this by looking at Ports (Com & Lpt) in Device Manager). You'll have limited functionallity though without a registered version of VAG-COM (i.e. you'll be able to read fault codes, modify some but not all coding and adaption codes.) If you have the dual K line, USB cable, then go for the Twin-COM version of VAG-COM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3ollie Posted April 19, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 thanks for your help, it is the twin com version as you say. all working now. does anyone know if i can change weather the alarm siren comes on through vagcom? the alarm goes off - lights flashing but no siren. or maybe the siren is broken Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mitchet Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 If you've never altered any coding in the past, I'd guess the siren/horn is broken. I think the alarm system has a seperate unit from the main "Oi!" horn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
s3ollie Posted April 22, 2006 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 i have never altered the codes but have only owned the car for a few weeks so dont know if they have been altered in the past. dont know why anyone would want to turn the siren off though.
