    VCDS (VAG-COM) codes and programmable options for Golf Mk7

    Hi guys

    I just got a Ross-Tech cable.. Well actually got it for my Audi,
    Though thought i might have a play with my Company car Golf also.

    Though unlike the audi forum i can't find here a document that has all the cool vagcom
    coding listed.

    has anyone got a list of different vagcom codes that can be used that are tried and tested ?

    Thanks

    Tim

    None of us have a Golf 7 yet but the Golf 6 thread is here: http://www.vwwatercooled.com/forums/...ary-50749.html

        Ryan_R was kind enough to introduce me to the VCDS sytem in another thread. I've made some fledgling attempts to understand the basics on the Ross-Tech website (and on this forum). I have a MK7 that I'm interested in trying out the VAG com software. Can you tell me which cable you have and if you have been successful in talking to your Golf. I assume that we both have the "AU" chasis (I got this from my VIN). Ross-tech has a few different versions of thier cables (at vastly different prices), so I'm keen to understand what will work (and what will not work) on my vehicle
        Please don't PM to ask questions about coding, or vehicle repairs. The better place to deal with these matters is in the forum proper. That way you get the benefit of the wider expertise of other forum members! Thank you.

          Hi mate, I have a Ross-tech HEX+CAN USB cable. It works fine with my daughters Mk 7 Golf. Haven't played much with it yet (she's hardly ever home) but did turn the seatbelt chime off just to test it. Ordered it direct from Ross-tech in the US for around $470 delivered to oz.
          Cheers

            Thanks for the response. If I could press you with one further question (please). What Windows operating platform are you using on your laptop?

              I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, but the order process will take you through all that. I'm sure they want to send you the right cable the first time.

                I've used it with XP, Win 7, and Win 8 x64 without issue

                  Winchy/Ryan_R,
                  Thanks again for your input. I'm still trying to understand ther potocols for VAG COM. As I don't have a Cable yet, I thought that I would try to see what the connector signals look-like on my CRO. Started by looking at CAN_H & CAN_L pins. Didn't look like what I had imagined. I had thought that the two pins represented logic High and Logic Low (man, was I wrong!). Seems to be somekind of differential signal (which I guess is to be expected given the noisy environment). Anyway, I think that need to do a bit more reading. The journey continues!

                      That's great news! I've looked at quite a few of your posts about VCDS on this forum. Although much of what you have said on your posts goes over my head for the moment, your deep understanding of the subject matter is clear. I had thought that I would need to start my learning by looking at the actual signal traces and by undertstanding the protocal policies that ODB2 uses. Your admission means that I don't need to fill the limited space in my head with such arcane stuff. Very good news indeed!

                        Anyone who can use a computer by intuition can use VCDS. Just read the PDF manual to see the software does and what sections to steer clear of unless you know what you're doing. The long coding section however couldn't be easier. Just make notes of the defaults in case you wish to revert. There's not much more to it than the screenshots you've already seen.

                          Agree totally Ryan_R, although when I had a quick play on my daughters Mk 7 there was quite a bit written in German. I'm sure I'll sort it, just need time.

                            Again, thanks for the advice. Not sure if you (or Winchy) can answer this question;
                            Does VCDS allow me to change the degree of dimming on the rear vision mirror? I've read quite a bit on various forums and the Ross Tech website about the software, but I can't find any mention of the rear window dimming function. I'd like the dimming to be stronger on my Golf. Can you help?

                              Can't say I've heard of anything like that. Supposedly you can manually turn the dimming on/off by pressing under/behind it somewhere - not something I've ever tried.
