Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

There are OBD, what are you trying to read it with?
Ross-Tech: Home VCDS leads work and there's plenty of other OBD tools that can do it too.

I'm trying to use the vagcom program that came with the cableComment
-
That's why you have an obd plug. Try to interrogate other systems, if you can't you either haven't set your cable up right or your k line is down on the car
Check the led status on the cable if it's red comms are down

The blue light comes on when i plug it in but it just won't do anything else and says it's not obd2 compatible. Il try a different program tonight and see what happensComment

ross tech isnt compatible with my cable. it says port test ok interface not found. vag com 409.1 connects but says not obd2 compatible if it vehicle is vw or audi try individual controllers but they just fail too.
what other programs can i try?Comment
-
Interesting point. I now have 3 programs made by Ross tech. Strange coincidence or **** products/programingComment

There's nothing wrong with the software. Using a non-genuine cable is where you're problem is.Comment

The cable looks fine. In electrical terms there is no reason why the cable would stop it working unless it has the wrong resistor in it. Does anyone except rosstech make a program?Comment
-
The issue is that the VAGCOM application is designed to ONLY work with a genuine cable - it's not just OBDII, but it has some other functionality in it that acts as a "license key" as such for the software.Originally posted by lilcrash View Post
VAGTACHO may work with your cable, it lets you do some stuff, but not the full VAGCOM functionality.Nothing to see here...Comment

Ok il try that tonight. ThanksComment
-
Ok that didn't work either :@Comment
-
u may have more luck using an old vagcom version that works with copied cables. much less features though. the site explains this somewhere.
vagtacho needs a different cable from vagcom i believe.Comment
-
Features arent a concern at this point I just need to know what fault codes it's throwing. The company I got the cable and software off is sending me another free of charge incase its a faulty cable.Comment
