Default ScanXL Pro and VAG-COM

Can anyone help me out and tell me if Vag-Com would work with ScanXL Pro to scan ECU in 2004 Range Rover HSE (OBD-II)?

This question sort of between Ranger Rover and Audi (which uses vcds) so I am not sure who to ask. Thanks in advance.

I'd ask Ross-Tech if they have every heard of it being done.
Because VCDS is a proprietary system/cable my guess is other software might not "see" the interface.
Wouldn't hurt to ask them both though.

Nothing on their wiki about Range Rover.

Latest version of the software has window for generic obd 2 interface. It is pretty limited (read and erase codes).

It worked for my wife's Volvo.

Thanks guys but what I meant is if other software (such as scanxl or ids) will work with our cable since it is also obdii?

It will not work.

It talks obdii between cable and car. It uses proprietary USB protocol between computer and the cable.
You cannot use different software with vag cable.
