About VAG-COM

VAG-COM is a Windows based diagnostic software for Volkswagen, Audi, Seat and Skoda vehicles that emulates the functions of expensive professional scan tools. It is:

• Fully compatible with all models of the above makes of car or van produced between 1996 and 2006 (see below for more information on earlier models)
• Compatible with the above makes of car with CAN connection
• Has a data base of more than 7500 fault codes and measuring block texts
• Can use the new 7 digit PIN/SKC codes to match new keys in all immobilizer-equipped W, Audi, Seat and Skoda models

Is my Car VAG-COM Compatible?

VAG-COM will work with most Volkswagen and Audi models sold worldwide from 1994 onwards. It will also work with most late-model SEAT and Skodas sold outside of N. America.

If your VW or Audi has a 16pin OBD II style Data Link Connector then VAG-COM will work. If your car has the old 2x2 Data Link Connection check to see if there is a wire going to each pin - if there are 4 wires VAG-COM should work – if there are only 3 it won’t.

What System Requirements do I Need?

A PC or laptop that is running Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000 or XP. A Pentium 100 (or AMD equivalent) that has 16MB of RAM is recommended. VAG-COM only needs 1MB or less, so availability of disk-space is not a problem.

How to get Started

• Download the shareware 409.1 for a free trial or purchase the registered version from the manufacturer’s website:www.ross-tech.com
• Run it, follow the prompts and let it install (on your PC or laptop’s hard disk)
• Plug one end of the interface into a serial (RS232) port on your PC and the other into your car’s OBD II port
• Turn on the ignition without starting the engine
• Start the VAG-COM programme, click ‘options’, select the correct communications port and run the test to confirm that the programme is working and can find the interface. Click ‘save’.
