Installing and Registering VCDS Cable or VAG-COM

How to install VCDS cable from third parties and how to register the third party cables to use with VCDS Lite.

Hi Guys after reviewing this video I have decided the best advice is to actually get a genuine Ross tech VAG cable/ Vcds this is because Vcds is limited in its use and only seems to work on older cars pre 2005.

You can get cheaper scan tools on amazon for more simple tasks like disengage electric parking brake or re align throttle body like the Ancel Vd500.

This is what I used on my 2008 VW tiguan for brake service.

This is an excellent video for VCDS lite. Consider this - with lite you are already half way to the full enthusiast version not even counting the money spent on that generic cable.

I highly recommend people consider the enthusiast version ($200), it comes with the adapter and covers the very important basic settings that you will need to use after a transmission service, steering angle sensor, timing belt service etc.

i did not receive the cd is there any place where i can get the drivers ? for a vag-com 409.1

But what if the laptop doesnt have a disc drive?

[KhaiMahase]

So you have to pay to get a serial I can’t just use the generic cable and the software?

How can you install the drivers of you laptop doesn’t have a disk drive ?

I bought the same one, had a picture of a driver disc but didn't come with it. The link it came with is a total dud.

Hey, what if my computer does not show the cable at ports? It shows the cable at universal serial bus controllers.

good, how much do you actually have to pay £99 or £19 to register

Just a quick question, after you install the disc, can you remove the disc wile using it, as my laptop doesn't have a disc drive I would have to borrow one to install the disc many thanks

why in the program didnt appers the vw polo 6r ?

[SteveBlues]

I thought Vagcom Lite was free for non-commercial use?

[ciprianionutapetroaie]

how much do you have to pay for full registration £99 or £20

[davepelser]

I can only see some modules and see faults. Eg I can see Engine, Air bag, Instruments and reset fault.
Doesn't see Electrical or many others? Must I register cable first? Bought it off ebay.

[sparksemt]

without doing this does it keep vcds lite from finding the controller ? i only have the engine and not registered

[SteveBlues]

Do you not need the Hex OBD cable for vagcom or will one of those cheap ones actually work?

[ujjwalraghani]

So this serial number is only for registering the cable right?

[earlskieu]

Mine says contact your hardaware supplier for assistance

Is the VCDS lite the same as the VCDS normal ie does it have the same features.
