wlepse Posted August 5, 2015 Report Share Posted August 5, 2015 Has anyone picked up one of these things? I have found a few that seem to be reasonably priced like this one but I have no idea if they actually work. Hoping someone here has first hand knowledge of these and what they can and can't do. Basically now that I replaced the rear camera I would like to program this into the car to get the lines back, from past experience the local dealers want $150 just to pull the computer out. So for a little more I could do it myself and be able to tackle other stuff later. I know in the Audi community there is a big list of people that have the VCDS program, works great because for the price of a some beer or something you can get someone to help you out...might be able to do the same with these.

omar302 Posted August 6, 2015 Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 I am like you, except I already purchased one from here . I still cannot get it to work, on Win8.1 it didn't seem to connect to the car & on Win10 the IDS software keeps telling me that I have multiple VCMs connected when only 1 is. It is probably because I need a laptop with 32bit WinXP (SP2 or 3, non-Home edition) as advised in the seller's website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wlepse Posted August 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted August 6, 2015 If that is the only issue I can handle that...my old machine for the audi software is XP. But the reviews I have seen seem to be hit and miss. I guess that is typical for Chinese knock off/clones. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar302 Posted August 7, 2015 Report Share Posted August 7, 2015 (edited) The site I purchased mine from was reffedt o me by a person from a Explorer/Mustang who never complained about. Still, I shouldget an XP laptop soon to start using it. Edited August 14, 2015 by omar302 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
