VAG Com Codes: Access & Diagnostics

Hi, I'm Mike from Nuremberg, and I run a workshop.

I bought the hardware and software from the store (about 3 years ago), and everything worked great. (It was called Vag-Com. Now, after the update, it's called vcds or something like that.)

The updates are working as well.

I can also perform standard tasks like starting the injection system and reading data from control units, and everything works as it should.

Along with the software and hardware, there was a small folder containing an introductory document.

Now, to my question.

Where can I get the login codes, and is there a list of codes with descriptions?

I can gladly provide proof that I purchased the software and hardware. My main issue is that I can't find a contact person who can provide me with direct support.

I bought the package somewhere near Neumarkt or Neustadt in Franconia.

I was registered on the invoice under the name "Schabel-Motorsport."

Can anyone help me with this?

You're welcome.

Mike Schabel.

Hi Mike, and welcome!

Have you ever looked at http://wiki.ross-tech.com/wiki/index.php?

Best regards from Munich!

Thank you for the quick response.

The link is good and works. Thank you in advance.

Unfortunately, I no longer remember the address of the store where I bought my items. However, I still need some plugs and other things, so here's my question:

Does anyone have the address and phone number of this provider near Neustadt/Aisch? (I must have been there, I definitely drove to the middle of nowhere for it, LOL).

Best regards, Mike.

P.S. The main focus of my job is motorcycles. However, since we are having more and more diesel customers, I would like to expand my skillset.

Check out the shop section of this forum and see if there are any adapters available that you might need.

Hm... Counter question:
Can a BMW scooter be read out using VAC-Com or VCDS?

No, it's a K, but it's not a car.
Hat soweit ich weiss keine OBD Norm Dose oder? Take a look.
The R 11xx models can still be bypassed using the ignition system and a blinking code.

Hello!

Well, asking doesn't cost anything, as they say .

OBD is obviously not present, but somewhere under the trim, there should be a two-wire cable coming from the control unit for "BMW diagnostics."
(It's been over half a decade since I had taken the machine apart to this extent...)

And so I thought, maybe Mike has created some kind of adapter (to OBD) for VAG-Com for this purpose.
I have the mechanic's manual for the K1200RS (original BMW), but it contains absolutely nothing about electrical wiring or electronics. *sigh*

Best regards from Munich!
