In order to use VAG-COM, you need a PC to run it on. Obviously, a laptop is most convenient, but it is not essential. Click here for PC Requirements.

Which cable do I need for my car?

To check which cable you will need for your car check this web page on the Ross-Tech web site. Generally there are two types of cable, the Key cable(K Line communication) and the CAN cable(Can Bus Communication). The MK4 platform uses the KEY cables and the MK5 platform uses the CAN cables which is also backwards compliant with the older KEY system so the one CAN based interface can be used on both platforms.

We may be able to provide you with CAN compatible cables (for use with newer cars such as the MK5 Golf etc) please email us for further details

Can I use my Vag-Com cable with VAG-Tacho software?

No, VAG-Tacho uses a proprietary interface that activates the software in a similar way that the Vag-com interface activates the software.

Where can I find diagnostic procedure and search for what the fault codes mean?

The Ross-Tech Wiki site has diagnostic procedures and fault code references
