Vag Com Cable

[Addie]

Can anyone point me in the direction of what VAG COM cable I need for the B7 A4, and what its possible to do with it?

Can I read fault codes etc?

Had this for my Volvo, was pretty handy.

Cheers

For the B7 you need a dual-K plus CAN cable, which means a HEX-USB+CAN or HEX-COM+CAN. Best to get the HEX-USB+CAN since not many laptops have an RS232 port now.

You can read and clear fault codes, read measurement blocks, change the setups of modules (e.g. window open/close on key, single door/all door unlock).

NHN can do you a good deal http://www.audi-sport.net/vb/showthread.php?t=72359
