We don't sell anything on EBay. If you purchase a dumb interface there, it would most likely be compatible with release 409. If it works, you can purchase a VAG-COM Software License directly off us for $99.00.

If you want one of our genuine products with support, current software, updates and a warranty the KII-USB would be your best bet. This includes the Software License and interface.

I have a '09 Q7. What is the correct VAG-COM for my vehicle?

How does Audi Warranty go with VAG-COM? Does use of it void warranty?

You would need the HEX-USB+CAN Interface.

Using VCDS to scan the vehicle would not void warranty. If you have any specific modifications or questions related to the vehicle please and VCDS, please let us know what you have in mind.

Ok,

I ordered my Vag-COM today. I have a laptop with Vista operating system and think installing the VAG-COM software in it but I'm thinking to purchase a new laptop that would be used only for VAG-COM. If I install VC in the Vista laptop can I later install it in the new laptop without paying the licence fee? Or should I get the new laptop before installation?

How about Windows7? A lot of programs made for XP also work fine in Windows 7. How is it with VC?

If you purchased the HEX-USB+CAN Interface, the software can be installed in as many PCs as you wish, no activation codes required. The interface must be connected to the PC in order to scan a vehicle.

The current VCDS Release version fully supports Windows 7 Vista and Windows 7 as mentioned here: http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/faq_1.html#1.14
