I just picked up my first Touareg (2008 v8) last week and think I would like to modify some settings... From what I have read around here, the Ross-Tech kit is the way to go... but on the Ross-tech site it appears that they offer multiple kits...

VCDS Super Professional Kit$899.00In Stock

Thanks in advance!

Well...I know the touareg has CAN, so there's the first hint. Do you care for a case for the cable? A laptop? It's really up to you.

Get the $349 one.

Thanks for the responses! I already have a laptop, and don't really need a case for the cable... So I guess from here I buy the $349 kit (VCDS License with HEX-USB+CAN Interface) I am assuming this is USB? Is it basically a cable and I download the software online from RossTech? Thanks!

Yep - that's what the USB in the name means.

Yes, we will send you instructions of how to download the software. You perform a test of the cable connected to your computer and car. It activates the software and off you go in the land of Diagnostics.

$349 is the one to go for with 2008

Wow, thanks for the responses... a bit late though, I already purchased my ross-tech cable over a month ago and vag'd tons of things. It's a great product - and is relatively easy to use!

Well if you have and some are not documented, perhaps you'd care to share? Like enabling the passenger eject button, activating the impulse engines without engaging the inertial dampers (known to drain the battery)....

It appears the VCDS License with HEX-USB+CAN Interface: Ross-Tech Store would also work for a 2006 V10 as well.....correct?

 

[bearthebruce]

Yes, although for a (7L) 2006 you could use the KII-USB interface. You can find if your Touareg is a (7L) by looking at the 7 & 8 digits of the VIN number.

Bruce-

Thanks!.....my vehicle is a (7L)....is there any difference in functionality between the KII-USB and the HEX-USB+CAN....what about "user friendliness"??

TIA
