I would like the following:
2* Package 2 - Enthusiast, expandable

Can we also get the Bentley CDs ? If so, then one of those for the Audi A4/S4 please [img]images/graemlins/1syellow1.gif[/img]

am i correct in thinking that to use the vag-com properly you need to have a Bently manual?

I think the Bentley workshop manual will help you get the most out of VAG-COM, but there is a lot of documentation around on it (ie, the DTC codes, and various options that can be set)

I have one and the documentation is pretty good but i think to get the most out of it you need to use it alot

Quite alot of it is find which sections you are interested in, say altering door locking , data logging or which elements you will use

Read up on the web site or post here then you will use those items

I will find out about the Bentley CD's

1 Package 2 (USB interface) for me. Does this constitute an order, or do we need to do something else?

Basically the software is downloadable but needs to be registered

It will only work with the correct cable

so the cost is for the liscense and the cable

Just a question which is not on the ross-tech FAQ?
Q: What are the computer requirements?
A: PC's with a Serial Port: We recommend at least a Pentium-100 (or AMD equivalent) with 16MB of RAM and Windows 95 or newer. VAG-COM may work on some lesser PC's, but anything less than the above recommendation is unsupported. Windows 95, 98, ME, NT4, 2000, and XP are all fine. Available disk-space is a total non-issue, VAG-COM requires less than 1 MB. The PC must have an available RS-232 Serial port!
My question is :- ok the min spec`s are above but does this mean that anything faster wont make a difference? why i ask is that im laptopless and was thinking about it.

Steve as i think that more than 10 people are buying is it possible to find out when the closing date is for this buy? im going to go laptop hunting thats all, cheers [img]images/graemlins/beerchug.gif[/img]
