UKPassats

Ordered mine today, with a wiring diag,

thx for this post saved me a packet...

Hmmm, dunno, and if motodiag wont let you switch comm to match the one VCDS uses.

I guess £6.95 for a "dumb" chinese special might be the simplest way.

Got mine running ....nice.

Can you not right click the icon and see the properties/settings window for it?

Nice found it thanks mate.

here it is if anyone else is looking.

Has anyone installed one of these? I am sure you have was it a success? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Volkswagen-Aux-Input-Adaptor-Audio-Interface-Converter-/270788005564 I was thinking of trying to make one fit in the blank switch space on the console, or maybe in the centre armrest like new skodas and...

Yup ebay, cheap as.

can you view it in devices and printers at all?

Check which com port moto diag is trying to use, was 8 on mine. you should be able to switch it to the one you installed vcds on to. If not try : go to Devices and printers, select your comm lead/usb serial connector or however it is labelled, and manually change the com port through change settings...

This is my thread on that bit,
some photos in there,

Having said that I do notice the staus underneath the comm number is only displaying --- it doesn't say ok or anything,
but surely vcds would not detect the codes on scan if there was a comm issue?

Yea, got a code about 8 digits long which I copied and pasted into the box on set up, i'll keep trying prob something simple I am missing.

Cheers guys git it installed, My CCM matches and I can test port ok if i swithch to8 instead of 1 for VCDS, I can perform function 1 but the actvace oken button stays greyed out, any ideas? As far as I can tell it finds my ccm in the top screen and then 4 doors in the bottom, and when i scan in vcds...

Mine is likely identical to yours, 2.0 B5.5 03 plate ALT engine..
My breather pipe split a while ago, right where it comes out the T piece, I fixed that too,

Yea, I changed m plugs at service and got awful misfire and Em light, my coils were swapped shorty after under recall and now ok.

Contact local dealer, it takes em 2 minutes to check if it needs doing. then it's a full set of coils FOC

I found this, it is similar to our things we didn't know thread and some are identical. I wonder how relevant to passats they are/ ? http://www.audizine.com/forum/showthread.php/113722-B5-A4-Easter-Eggs!-Features-not-found-in-the-owner-s-manual?s=0a9eddcdbac1306adb098b4823ca3f86 I'm gonna try some o...

Probably a VCDS thing, my 1.9 B5 didn't tell me range either, my 5.5 does but I guess you knew that,

I think it is Norton 360 removing it before I can access it and get the code to request an activation code, it alerts my software abd all shortcuts and links to the program are labeld as out of date or removed.
I'll put it to sleep whilst I install andsee if it works.

Does it have to be OS less than win7?

I can't get the thing to start, I am running win7.

Ta, I'm not moaning or heralding a new innovation, I just don't remember in all the time I owned the car it doing it before.

I guess it's because I always alter the O/S 1st and then tweak the N/S so never noticed it either that or i have lost my mind

Not seen one.
But how about adding heated glove compartment to your winter pack? then you can keep keep your snacks hot

I am sure my wing mirrors used to operate independently, now it seems my passenger one is tied to my drivers side, is this the default setting or is there some trick to get them to operate separately again?

03 B5.5

Ok try pages 7 and onwards....

I think but not sure Ant had that issue with his, look back in this thread I am sure it is in here, and he did get it sorted I beleive.

It depends, they are now saying that the wings caused by the foam insulation rubbing are down to a manufacturing defect = 10 years rust is rust but they seem to be getting their way..

Tailgate and such should be no quibble I guess.

And a solution at the end..
