It looks and feels like VAGCOM, but does everything were as VAGCOM as limitation unless you register it which runs into the £100 mark for the limited 3 VIN version and increases in cost if you want the 10 VIN or unlimited VIN optionsīe aware that VW Tools is flagged as containing a virus by Avast and most if not all antivirus software, I believe this to be a false positive. Paul(Deproman) often comments on his kit and seems very happy with his kit but best to let him comment.Ĭheapest solution that I have found but only runs on windows XP is the 'VAG Commander' cable and software called 'VW Tools' Lastly there are cheaper kits, very cheap but never looked into, seems a minefield.
Look on EBay with search 'genuine VCDS' - a few on at the moment. Two year old kit, with original invoices and paperwork in mint condition and only used a few times. Original owner had bought new car outside the VW stable so useless to him. Google VCDS to pick up the genuine (check on Ross-Tech site) UK agents, Gendan are the big name. I think there is a cheaper restricted functionality Lite version, but best if an owner comments.
At the the time the top end packages were WiFI, cheaper ones you end up balancing a laptop on your knees, which reminds me the software reputedly runs better on old versions of Windows, but this might have now been updated. Top notch are unlimited VIN's coming down to say 3 VIN's for the DIY home mechanic - change cars a few times and it's useless. The big difference in price between genuine Ross-Tech packages is the number of cars (VIN's) you can use it on. I looked into this about a year ago and some low level bits and pieces I can remember below.
