Welcome back Mark, you want to hope that either Bill or Russell see this post as they have VAG COM, I think that Russell paid about £120 for the cable not sure about the actual programme!

I am trying to sources a copy of the VAG COM manual so that we canhave a play!

Russell has done dyno and fault runs with us and its very accurate!

Si's right. i paid 120 for the cable and full software.

the trial software and manual are on the ross-tech site.

the trial software dosnt let you change much from 1-25 out of 0-255 in each block.

We need to get hold of Technical manuals for the Leon and Ibiza - Roly.... over to you.

I'll be taking it to trax aswell if you want to have a play.

what can you do with this....I mean the juicy stuff not erasing faulty codes and engine expection....can you open some hidden features or change how some things operate

What's the best you did with it?

Throttle body alighnment, Door auto lock, window auto up and other cool things like that can all be done

The question we cant answer yet is how...

The modules in the leon and the ibiza are different aswell, this is why we need to get hold of the technical manuals for them both.

Recalibration of the fuel gauge can also be done on the VW and Audis so the Seats probubly can too.

Real time rolling roads (dyno runs) are cool too.

hmmm.. OK.

 

[mosser]

Windows auto up???, Smithrc is ther something you know about it that i dont!!?

 

[Archived Account 7]

I take it you havent managed it yet either

I'm a bit miffed with the Ibiza, It has less modules than the Leon - we cant even get the auto doors...

I read on VWVortex that they have done it on some A6's i think...

 

[mosser]

thats strange, i thought it was supposed to be a standard feature on the a6

 

[Archived Account 7]

I'm probubly getting muddled - I havent played with it in earnest yet (not having my car has seen to that).

So its standard on the A6 - any ideas what it has been done on and what it cant (asa yet)?

 

[mosser]

As far as i'm aware you can do it on all audi's as they have a differen type of central convenience controller that supports auto windows and it cant be done on a Seat without extra electronics being fitted, might be possible if anyone with a leon has a flodey key as this might indicate the different controller

Scrubb the auto windows from the above list then folks.

 

[mosser]

But i'd be more than happy if you do find a way to do it though!!

 

[.:matt:.]

Auto windas aint in there guys

I have it on my leon now cos I added some extra electronics I like it and think its pointless it didnt exist in the first place!

I just got something on there that senses the car has been locked and then takes the door lock wire low for 10 seconds! works a treat!

I cant find VAGCOM anywhere now for less that 180 odd quid

Have a word with RAM on the audi-sport.net forum. mine was 120 as part of a group buy from him.

His company is called cister and are on the web.

 

[.:matt:.]

yeah he now charges 180 quid for a group buy to cover his costs Cant blame him for that I would if I was in his position!

build your own cable.

(AP20VT - Didn't you get the cable on its own? for about £60)

Then use the software from the vag-com site.

 

[.:matt:.]

bought the kit from somewhere but I've been too lazy to order the optos......
