Anyone in Wiltshire got this and can run a test on my car to see if they can access Sat Nav? I have the older VAG-Com version and before I go and buy a newer copy, I wanted to check it worked on the functions that I cannot currently access.
Thanks,
Rob

Rob. Not quite Wiltshire but I work in Theale (J12 of the M4). If you are in that neck of the woods I'd be happy to help.

If Rob is running version 409 I would think he needs a newer ROSS-TECH lead or he's using a generic lead.

Yeah you need a Ross-Tech "HEX" lead to run later than v4.

And one should buy a genuine lead, great value for money

Yep, I have the old "dumb" lead. I wanted to check the newer VAG-com version worked the sat-nav and other functions before splashing out...

607.3 and a HEX-COM+CAN lead lets me access all the controllers (including both engine ECUs [the RS4 has one per bank], RNS-E and phone) on my 2006 RS4.

HEX-COM+CAN is the serial port on the laptop right?

You can order HEX-COM+CAN which is for a serial port, or the more expensive HEX-USB+CAN which is for USB.
Or even the cheaper micro-CAN - but this is for CAN ONLY cars like the Golf V, 8P A3, 8J TT, etc.
Or if you don't want any CAN capability the KEY-COM for a serial port, or the more expensive KEY-USB for USB.
