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.See below for full list. It does not work with diesel engines. 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) (or USB) 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’.
