I have VAG-Com

(1/1)

owdlvr:
I have a Ross-Tech VAG-COM cable and software, for linking with newer VW's and Audis.

If you've got a post '92 VW/Audi you probably already know about these. Find your vehicle listed here: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/cars/applications/index.html and if you see the KII-USB cable listed as compatible, mine will work with your car.

For my car it says "Ross-Tech HEX+CAN Interface with Mexico Adapter",
or, "Ross-Tech HEX, KEY or KII Interface with Mexico Adapter"

Do you have this one?

owdlvr:
Hi Bruce,

I have the cable, but not the Mexican adapter. The Vag-Com cable is basically a replacement for Volkswagen's 1552 diagnostics tool, for which your car uses the 3-prong Mexican plug. There are a few options...

1) you buy the mexican adapter from ross-tech's Espanol site, and the 2x2 adapter (also needed) from the American site...this is rather expensive.

2) We find a wrecked modern VW/Audi and make our own adapter...The interface to your car requires +ve, -ve and the K-line from my cable which we can _easily_ determine with a wiring harness from the donor car. The donor car is simply donating the female connector to match my cable. We will then need to make a 3-prong end for your car, but that's not too difficult.
