ÂÅ“ We've had many reports that certain 3rd-party interfaces (Serial as well as USB) do not work properly with some control modules. It may also cause difficulties connecting or unreliable sessions with some control modules. This is intrinsically slower than directly accessing the interface via USB. Almost all 3rd party drivers emulate a Serial port. In order for a 3rd party USB interface to work at all, the vendor must supply a USB driver for the device. The USB drivers that we include with VAG-COM do not work with 3rd-party interfaces. ÂÅ“ We've had numerous reports of problems with 3rd-party USB interfaces. If you can get it to work to your satisfaction using a currently supported shareware version, we'd be happy to have you register the VAG-COM software with us for $99 and will then provide support for the functionality of the software - but not for connection problems.

If you buy an interface from a 3rd party, please do not expect us to provide start-up support. You may find vendors that are willing to sell interfaces that they claim are "compatible" with certain older versions of VAG-COM. To use the latest version of VAG-COM, you need to use a genuine KEY- or HEX- series Interface purchased directly from Ross-Tech or from one of our distributors. 3.3 Can I buy an Interface adapter somewhere else?Ĭurrent versions of VAG-COM (versions 500.x and newer) are not compatible with 3rd party interfaces at all, even in shareware mode.
