Just wondering if its worth getting a VAG COM cable + software
Aside from the general fault code readings, can it do anything else?
For example, setings within the car, auto-locking etc. or changes to the multi function display?
Cheers

last weak i did some reading in my GTI with vagcom.
did some sensors tests etc.
still got stock boost, and it's realy pathethic... 0.56bar on about 2000rpm
by 6000rpm there is only 0.3bar left
after the mapping i'm planning to do in the nearby future it would go to approx 1 - 1.1bar, and 0.7 at 6000.
i guess the diffrence wiull be immense
so to answer the quetion short.. you can do about anything with vagcom

Does anyone know if you can enable the doors to lock once you start driving and also make the windows go up by using the remote fob?

Anyone got a cheap-ish kit off eBay that's decent enough to have a fiddle with some simple changes? Door unlocking, anti-jack etc?
Cheers

In my experience with other VAGs the VAG-COM is pretty much the only one I'd risk plugging onto my car.

Getting a cheap ebay cable working takes a little while... When it does work, you can scan codes, do logs, but I'm not sure what else.
Good for around 20 pounds or less...
