Default Solar flare hits greenie!

Got in to the machine at 11:12 a.m. Eastern time turned the key and it started(good sign). 5 seconds later the screen went blank and then a picture of the world and the words "AudiUSA Interface" were displayed. The radio stopped so I shut the car down to recycle and, sure enough, everything was fine on restart. The message SHOULD have been "AudiUSA NO interface". LOL Seriously, I know that this solar phenom has interrupted satellite comm. so thats what Im going with. The car has been too good for this just to be another in a series of "events". BTW, I should hopefully be "hooked up" to Ross_Tech next week sometime which should shed some light on these 04`s. Uwe. are you out there?

Default Yep, I'm here.

Feel free to e-mail me directly. Let me know when you'd like to come by. Evenings and weekends OK too. Bring your car and your laptop. You will leave with the ability to access *most* of the stuff in your car. Just how much, I won't know until tomorrow when I'm doing some testing on a car at a dealership.

With Uwe helping you out, I bet you'll be able to dial with your V60 phone (if you have one) after a visit via MMI! I would love to play with a new A8L....

Default Old VAG-COM

The cable you have should talk to your engine and tranny with the Beta 310.0 software we have on the website. The engine and tranny still have an ISO-9141 K-line to the diagnostic connector.

But to access all the other stuff in the car (and there's a LOT) you'll need a new cable. All the other stuff requires a direct CAN bus connection. We should have production dual-K + CAN interfaces in January. These will be fully backwards compatible with all older VW/Audi models, and a trade-up program will be available.
