Vag-Com problem

[teknobod]

I have just installed the latest version of Vagcom/VCDS on my laptop (908) and when running the application for the first time it updated the cable firmware to version 1.81 (previously 1.44).

I am now only able to view measuring blocks in the general engine data groups 001-009 on my RS2, after that the fields displayed do not change.

Has anyone else come across this problem?

The cable is a genuine Vag-Com HEX-COM interface.

PLEASE HELP!!!!

Is there any way to restore firmware version 1.44?

Vag-com have locked down the cable to the officially supported blocks which are 1-9 on the ABY / ADU

Not really a problem

Not really a problem

Unless you want to measure block 115!!

Can this be fixed by restoring the firmware and using an older version of Vag-Com?

It was working fine until the newly installed version stuffed up the firmware.

You can't downgrade firmware on a cable once it's been upgraded according to various www websites

Cheers Jamo.

I've emailed Ross-Tech in the hope I may get some help from them.

I'll wait and see.

I've had another Vag-Com plugged in today and it behaves identically, so I presume the controller in the RS2 (and S2 variants) must be too old to display these values.

What as per post 2?

You were on the right track!

We can log some very useful things (timing, IAT, rpm, etc), but nothing compared to what can be logged on the newer Audis:
boost, EGT, AFR, etc.
