Should I get it instead?Ī: In my opinion, absolutely not. Q: Ross-Tech's VAG-COM is expensive I saw a cheaper non-original cable. I have tried to collect some of the more prominent or subjectively useful codings, but lots more can be done!īefore we dig into the good stuff, a quick FAQ about VAG-COM/VCDS for rookies:
VCDS CODING AUDI SOFTWARE
Recommendation: I highly recommend following the links published at the end of this article as well as updating VAG-COM/VCDS software regularly with new data files from and perhaps experimenting (remember the warning above), there are lots of settings available and documented that are not covered here and will never be covered here. Some things also only work on the older MMI 2G or the newer MMI 3G (see links at the end of this article), mostly the information originates from MMI 2G and Audi A5 unless otherwise mentioned, but it is often relevant for other Audi models and revisions as well. A setting that might work for someone else does not necessarily work for you. The risk is all yours.Īlso note, there may be market-to-market and model-year differences in how these settings affect your car. Please verify any changes you intend to make from other sources as well. I have not personally tried any of the settings listed here, I have collected them from the Internet and provided the links for you to check out the original postings. You can seriously mess up the settings of your car with this tool.
WARNING! If you don’t know what you are doing, don’t do anything with VAG-COM. Other VAG-COM cables (like older cables that work with last generation A4 B6/B7 that uses only K line or the more-limited MicroCAN cable that currently only works, in an Audi, with the CAN-only A3) won't work.
Note: For the entire current Audi line-up from A4 B8/A5/A6 up, you need the HEX-CAN cable from Ross-Tech (whether USB or serial, that doesn't matter) because these cars use both older K line and newer CAN buses for diagnostics and only the HEX-CAN cable covers both. In this article I have collected interesting VAG-COM settings for Audi A5, which are possibly relevant for other models as well, especially Audi A4 B8 but probably other, especially MMI based cars, too. VAG-COM/VCDS is a cable and software package by Ross-Tech (that allows diagnosing and changing maintenance-shop level software settings in Audis and other Volkswagen Group vehicles. And of course, lots of FAQs and codes below. You may also want to read this Ess5ive's document "for dummies", useful information for beginners:įor more links, see the end of this article. For the latest and greatest new VAG-COM codes for A4/A5/Q5, please see these English/German links: These benefit from more detailed information, pictures and interactivity not present here. Note! Since the creation of this page other valuable VAG-COM repositories have sprung up at popular Audi forums.
