Awesome… Thanks! Guess I gotta find a OBD port adapter for Mac too.
Mac? Where on the link is a download for a mac?
Also, this as an 5 series guy, but if you are exploring, check some of these codes out:
Ok wtf. It defaults to the wrong link when I try to post. Not sure what to do to make it work.
Quit spamming the forum with your condo deals already. Spammer.
I don’t think vcds makes anything for mac. I think you can get generic scan tools for Mac but it won’t be can compatible so you won’t be able to do all the neat things.
Funny story, I run windows on my mcx using a program that runs it on top of my mac. My mac actually makes windows work 10x faster than my two pc’s I’ll open both computers. Turn them on, and my mac starts in seconds, windows is going on for 5 minutes, mac logs in, opens VMware and in using windows on top of Mac OS faster than the widows computer eve starts up.
How old are your other Windows computers/what operating systems. That makes a difference. My HP laptop running Windows8 I got last November will be up and running in <30 seconds from full shut down.
+1. I don’t need a summer condo deal. WTF.
There’s still a different throttle map for when S is on
Lol. Found a page that has a bunch of VCDS ideas, but it defaults to condos?!! Might be a hint to take a vacation.
Anyway, Marcus, are you saying your VagCom works on VMWare? I can’ t get mine to work and need to do a boot camp version instead.
1.8 Will there be a Mac or Linux version?
There will be no “native” Mac or Linux versions. The time and effort required to “port” VCDS to these platforms would never be worthwhile. VCDS works fine on Apple Mac computers that have Intel processors (all modern Macs) when Windows is installed on them using Boot Camp. Most computers that are used to run Linux can also boot Windows. If you do not wish to install Windows, we now offer a platform-independent version of VCDS called “VCDS-Mobile”.
1.9 Will there be a version for iPhone/iPad, Android, Blackberry, or Windows Phone?
We have no plans to make a native “Application” for any of these platforms. Instead, we are have created a platform-indendent version of VCDS called “VCDS-Mobile”. It can be used on modern versions of any of the above smart-phones and tablets.
just pulled that off the rosstech faq page.
Thanks Mistro, I can’t feel any difference between the S on and off.
as far as the traction control goes, the only way ive managed to delete it is by changing the value in the abs module +1. this turns traction control off but also the abs and u get the abs light and the red brake warning light on the dash. now there is 2 modules for for ESP but im not able to communicate with either of them, is this because I didn’t buy the pro version or is it just not possible at all to communicate with those modules?
No… i am saying the link directed me to get a condo…I can get it…Maybe I will just get a Netbook…think that will work??
vcds mobile is supposed to work on everything.
jumped in the car today and got a cel. did an autoscan and this is what I got. I just replaced the rear o2s so im not sure why im getting those. is it possible I need spacers with the jhm exhaust?

Voltage: 12.827 VNone of them look real bad the misfire might be flap related. None of the miss fire or knock codes came back in the past 2 so that’s probably just isolated. The rear 02s might need changing. Clear the codes and check them in a week. Chances are none of them will come back. Keep an eye on the 02s tho they can cause issues.
I just replaced those ones a couple weeks ago. ill try clearing the codes now and go for a drive.
as far as the manifold flap is concerned ive had this since I bought the car. I want to fix it. I really don’t think its a vacuum issue, theres no way I could have run the quarter mile times I have been with a vac leak.
I just want to know what all the likely causes are and ill replace everything.
I had a knock sensor die on me when I was still under warranty. Required manifold removal. I think there are 3 or 4 sensors. 2 require manifold pull. 2 don’t.
see that’s good to know cuz I will do them while I have it off.
