Need a VAGCOM KIT...

Post by honahon » Fri Feb 20, 2009 6:32 pm

Need to get my hands on a VAGCOM kit PDQ, anyone point me in the right direction? going to view a car in North London. After seeing what this software does, I 'won't leave home without it' :-)
In descending order:
E46 M3 (fun, but common place)
TVR Sagaris (axe murderer in the wet)
Porsche 996 911 (no soul)
Porsche Boxter 2.7 (boring)
Audi RS2 (looooved it, except the bills)
Lotus Elise (fun under 60)
Audi S2 380 BHP (X2) (big bills, big hassle, but major fun)
VW Corrado VR6 (took 2 miles to stop)

Depends what you want. I bought a cable off Ebay for 20 notes and got the software with it too and I'm happy with that. Does me for checking it every couple of weeks and I really can't justify spunking 300 notes on the full version.

Hi, Sorry for half hi-jacking this post and please excuse my ignorance, but will this cable and software work with the S4? I wanted to check a few things on mine; asked Audi and they wanted over £60!! :shock: Brings new meaning to 'Stealers'!!
