Fiddling With VAG-COM

[Baldchap]

The whole 'fourteen presses to get in the car' thing has been irritating me a lot of late, so I popped up to see a mate yesterday to have a fiddlewith his VAG-COM. Fantastic piece of kit. Tested pretty much everything, full diagnostics and I've now got a revolutionary new feature: When i tell the car to unlock (with the unlock button), it actually unlocks the doors and boot. At last!

Also enabled anti-hijack and got a cool video of a 0-160 run (speedo test )complete with realistic rrum-brum noises.

I'm a happy bunny.

Howd u mean anti hijack. Im maybe looking into buying one of these vag.com kits as am a bitt of a vag loyal a d think al be runnin in nothing else over the years but will the software expire and updates cost me in the future? Anyone knw or have had 1 for many years and think ther still upto date. Also whats the use of one for someone like me whos not a mechanic am i just using it to find faults to tell a mechanic or is there other fetures?

ive had this done to mine (anti jacking)

when your car moves more than 10mph the doors auto lock, used to have it on my leon and wasnt till a friend with vag.com told me he could do it that i realised that i wanted it in my polo, its very handy as the wife drives it more than me

VAG-COM's certainly been about for at least six years, as I used it once on my vRS many moons ago. The versionb my mate has upgraded itself before we used it, so there abviously are online updates but whether they work forever or just for a year or major new version I wouldn't like to guess.

Try the manufacturer: http://www.ross-tech.com/ for more info.
