The license is a one time license - there are no renewal fees at present, nor do we anticipate adding renewal fees anytime soon. This has been the case for 13 years now.

Keep in mind that the clones not only are produced with no R&D behind the product since they use the theft of others work to enable their sale, but they also use what are known in the industry as "gray market" chips. These are chips that did not pass the OEM's tests. Rather than destroy them...

Don't know which to buy? Our Need Help Deciding What to Buy page will help you make your choice and has a VIN look up application to show you the products that are compatible with your car.

VCDS-Lite does not support MK5 platforms. These require a CAN connection to perform diagnostics. VCDS-Lite does not support CAN.

I do not believe a hard drive change will cause the registration to be lost/modified. I believe it is related to the serial of the operating system and the CPU.

you must go into each module individually to clear codes. Are you trying to clear all codes from the AutoScan result? Please refer to the manual which is found on the download page: http://www.ross-tech.com/vcds-lite/manual/main_screen.html

Thanks Dave.... the Ross-Tech web site is the place to find the info you need to keep your car running correctly. Good luck!

You need to perform the steering angle calibration through Basic Settings/Adaptations. Without knowing which car, I give this link as an example: http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php/Seat_Leon_%281P%29_Brake_Electronics_%28MK60%29

Not through diagnostics and coding. I expect you would need to modify the ECU(s) programs.

What do you mean it will not let you clear codes? Lite allows one to clear codes. Are you saying that you hit "Clear DTC" and then the DTC remains? That would be the case if the underlying problem is not resolved.

Version 311.2 was released in 2003. Windows 7 was released when? After 2007.... good answer. 311.2 is no longer supported nor is it Windows 7 compatible. Why don't you download VCDS-Lite and run it in shareware mode? That is free and it is Windows 7 compatible. It should work with your...

Full VCDS has limited ability to code keys. If an older model - like pre-2002 or so - there is more chance it can provided you have the SKC/Pin code required. After that, VAG went to much greater security that required the diagnostic tool to dialog with the VAG servers. VAG does not permit...

What module we talking about? As the manual on our product has said for years: Login codes are usually found in the official factory repair information. Try erWin for that information. A 2006 model year should be covered by the 805.1 release. However, given that you are using a knockoff...

What year is your car? Is it newer than 2008? If so, then what you have described makes all kinds of sense. The 805 version of VCDS has no idea about the control module and so it cannot help you figure out what is in your car. If the model year is before 2008, then it is possible that we...

805.1 is not the program - it is the revision version number of our VCDS product. It was released in May of 2008. Since we provide free updates on our product why would you run 805.1 when 11.11.5 is available? You can download it for free.

They appear to be intermittent codes. What that means is that at the time of the scan, the problem was not present. I would clear them and see if they return. If they do, then you need to go chase them. Will these relate to throttle issue? What particular throttle issue are you having? Is...

Measuring Value Blocks are the means by which VAG engineers show live values. Your problem of finding if the turbo is bad will likely involve looking at live values. Modules in cars of your vintage can have up to 255 measuring value groups with 4 measuring blocks in each group. Time to do...

2003 Leon should be supported by the VCDS-Lite product. Once you buy a KKL lead, you use the VCDS-Lite software and you can run it in shareware mode. In shareware, Measuring value block groups up to group 025 are available to you. If the group you need is beyond group 025, then you would need...

VAG-COM 805.1 is obsolete by more than 3 years. The product you bought is an illegal clone of the real product called VCDS and produced by Ross-Tech. That said, the clone will probably work just fine on your car provided you use the rip-off software copy supplied with the wire from your...

Not uncommon. Under OBDII, the only codes that have to be shown are those that are emissions related. The car can be running like crap but not have an emissions issue. As such, the VAG engineers do not have to show any codes. When dealing with VAG cars, if you want to know what is wrong...
