    2015 B8 Gauge Sweep mod.

    I too saw this message for the first time when doing some minor mods yesterday. Clicked "no" and the new coding was applied fine. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    do i need to and can i recode ABS module with VCDS lite?

    I put together a tool for working out the coding of various modules after a DIS/Cruise retrofit. That includes recoding the ABS module, and shows how you can work out your codes if you don't know them - it was specifically for a B6 A4 though, so not sure if it will cover your model, but might...

    B6 A4 - dash lights permanently on? needle sweep? are they possible with VCDS?

    In theory there are four lighting modes, which can be changed in adaptation channel 19 of the instrument control module. From the VCDS website: Mode 0: Nothing lit until ext. light on Mode 1: Pointers lit all the time Mode 2: Scales lit all the time Mode 3: Pointers and Scales lit all the...

    Also, depending on what car you have, VCDS lite may not work. Best to check out Ross-Tech's website for a definitive answer (or ask NHN as suggested).

    Need some info regarding registration please

    I guess that depends on what you want to do :) I don't really know what the new version can do - I only have a registered copy of version 409. As far as reading / clearing faults, measuring blocks, adapting / coding control modules etc then as far as I'm aware you don't need the newer...

    Need some info regarding registration please

    1. All the functions of version 409 will work, but this is now quite an old version, and a good few functions have been added to the latest version which you will still not have. 2. If you upgrade to a Ross-Tech cable, then you would not need to use the same software, since then you would be...

    What Cable?

    It isn't possible though. As I said, the CAN compatible leads do not operate using a soft-license. You need a dongle-cable, and a non-Ross-Tech lead (Chinese or otherwise) that works with the latest version of VagCom will be counterfeit. Ade

    What Cable?

    That license is no use to you I'm afraid (unless you have bought a second hand lead and simply want to register it with Ross-Tech). As they detail here, for the 2008 A3 you need a CAN compatible cable, and these do not operate via the soft-licensing method - you need a dongle-cable such as...
