Hi i have recently changed my B6 to a B7 audi and used Vag-Com shareware version 4091 . i cannot seem to connect to all modules on Vag-Com especially the engine which is the most important as i need to check for fault codes . does any body know if i have to change software or diagnostic leads etc. As i have always found this very useful .:1zhelp::1zhelp::D:D:beerchug:

If the b7 is canbus your vag-com won't work. Only the ross-tech dongle and registered sofware work on can-bus cars.

The year of car usually. I'm guessing your car is about 2005 onwards?

Indeed it is.

You need this (http://www.ross-tech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=VCHUC&Category_Code=VAGCOM).

The software is built in, so you don't have to purchase an additional license, and it can be used on any computer, because the license is in the cable so to speak.

Did you own a full license? If so, you could also do an upgrade even if your original cable was not made by Ross-Tech. See our upgrade page (http://www.ross-tech.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=CTGY&Category_Code=IntUp).
