When my kids ask what Ross-Tech does.

Ha, I plead the fifth!

6 month update: Friday,17,September,2021,15:22:52:38124 VCDS -- Windows Based VAG/VAS Emulator Running on Windows 10 x64 VCDS Version: 21.9.0.1 (x64) HEX-V2 CB: 0.4555.4 Data version: 20210824 DS330.0 www.Ross-Tech.com VIN: WVGDMPE24MP013223 License Plate: Chassis Type: E2-VWE3 (1EA)...

No spoilers but I was quite unsurprised by the outcome:

Is this doing it right? I have a Honda-engine generator (rated 6800/8500W) that I use to power my house during outages and I fired it up to blow out the cobwebs and get fresh fuel through the carb. While it was running, I figured why not try applying a load and to my amazement the ID.4 charger...

I found this Ferrari flood title story to be amusing. We deal with VW/Audi versions of passenger occupant detection stuff all the time:

@massimo23 Ooh, the same cursed infotainment as the ID.4! @downtime Do you know the expression "The grass is always greener on the other side of the fence"? You should see the app we get in the US, called Car-Net. If you have an ICE car, it lets you see the lock status, remotely lock and...

@downtime sorry I missed your earlier question to me. The ID.4 has proved to be pretty efficient for the size of vehicle and I haven't had any real charging problems, between L1 at home and work, DCFC on road trips, etc. I have gotten used to some of the horrible ergonomic decisions but still...

I was called "Art" by a customer on the phone. Methinks thou art confused, good sir!

I noticed VCDS pausing on a specific measuring value in 75 that was N/A (starting with REM_ ) but it eventually completed. I sent Eric debugs today from a 2020 Tiguan that exhibited the same behavior, so he’s on the case. Why Jef is unable to talk to 75 at all, I don’t know but he should send...

I am not aware of any Security Access used in this type of CECM.

Pronounced "Man Urine". An excellent shooter, I must say.
