Have you any advice that you can pass-onto a fledgling "grasshopper" regarding how I might tackle this task ?įinally got around to having a look at it - not all that easy. I traded a few emails with Uwe Ross about these issues, but I didn't get much joy from his responses.Īnyhow, My first task is to see if I can find a way to turn-off the stop/start function (ideally to have it default to the off position, but if this is not possible, to disable the function completely). The other disappointing feature in the SW is the proliferation of German language in many of the drop-down screens (for those controllers that are supported by the SW).

Is a copy of the autoscan file of any interest to anyone? When I did the autoscan, I found that my vehicle has 14 controllers, but only 9 controllers had labels in the SW library. In any event, I removed the AC adaptor and the cable began to sing!Ī bit disappointed in the support that software version 12.12.0 has for mk7 Golfs. The Ross tech site mentions this as a potential issue, but when I measured the current flows with a multimeter the reading was micro-amps (Ross Tech says that milliamp flows are acceptable). Eventually found the problem which was due to earth current flow between the AC adaptor for the laptop (weak laptop battery) and the vehicle's 12 volt system. Had all sorts of trouble getting the cable to talk to my laptop when I connected it to the car. I got it from a local dealer in NSW (very friendly chap). Bought the Ross Tech unit as you suggested (thanks for the advice). Ryan R: got my VCDS cable a few days ago.

There's not much more to it than the screenshots you've already seen. Just make notes of the defaults in case you wish to revert. The long coding section however couldn't be easier. Just read the PDF manual to see the software does and what sections to steer clear of unless you know what you're doing. Anyone who can use a computer by intuition can use VCDS.
