Do you have any saved copies of your autoscan? We really need to see the information of how the car is equipped to help here. Please check your VCDS folder for saved autoscans and post the most recent.

It has also been my experience Dave. When I have worked on teams where all were included and ideas were pursued rather than just doing what we are told, we accomplished much much more. Further, all wanted the success of the idea to be the team's success. Top down styles tend to stymie...

Those that charged for reactive power did so with a power factor ratio charge. I actually presented a paper on it at a trade fair. Most heat treat operators had no idea how their power bill was calculated and did not know they could do something about their charges. Not only did Uwe and I...

From where did you buy this unit? That is, from which of our listed distributors did you buy? They will support you if you call.

Didn't you know some guys who made a power supply for large industrial heat treat furnaces that corrected power factor? At least one of those guys was very clever as I remember. Whatever happened to them? ;)

Dealer tool only. If you find a repair facility with an ODIS installation, and they have the necessary permissions from VAG, they too can do a flash update of a control module.

Don, I have lost faith in the ability of our government to hold reliable independent elections where The People are assured that only one vote by one person is counted. I believe both parties would like to corrupt the mail in systems to have their way. I believe they are doing all they can to...

You do not need to do it until you do an Advanced Function that requires the VIN in order to let you proceed. VCDS will ask for it when it needs you to do it.

There is not enough information to make a decision. A no signal/communication fault is indicating just that - there is no signal detected nor any communication. Could it be the sensor? It could. But it could also be wiring or something wrong with the controller for the Park assist. If it...

Hi. Did you notice the intermittent status of the error? That means the fault occurred and was not still present at the time of the scan. Looking at the saved data, I'd guess Sun Spot activity! That is, I think this is one of the random faults that occur to confuse the best of us. I would...

To remove modules that are showing in the Gateway Installation list, you would need to go into the CAN Gateway and remove these modules. You sure these modules are not present? An Autoscan pasted here would help us to better answer you.

Do you think a piece of software is clairvoyant and is able to discern where a break in a wire is located? How might it do that? By what magic might it know where the break in a wire is located? Your expectation that VCDS is the magic genie of Auto repair needs modification. Sometimes we...

While it may be possible with VCDS, the discussion of VIM is not welcome on this forum owing to the laws in most countries that prohibit Video In Motion. Ross-Tech cannot help nor host those who would be wanting to turn on such a feature that is prohibited by safety law. Please, while we...

Not correct. HEX-NET does work with Lambo No RT tool is compatible with the Mercedes/Chrysler designed and manufactured Routan that was offered by VW. To work Routan, one needs a Chrysler compatible factory level diagnostic tool. Even the ODIS implementation for VW dealers was a poor...
