Hello Rainer,
Maybe it's a silly question

, but I haven't done anything with my new car yet, meaning I haven't tinkered with it, done any troubleshooting, etc.
"Does what you're suggesting work with my old diagnostic adapter? The 6J model isn't included in the software from around 2004. (Back then, there was a diagnostic adapter that you had to solder together, using RS232.)"
Updates sind doch nur für die neueren VCDS? Or?
If I knew that the problem with my old diagnostic adapter couldn't be solved, but the new one could, I would order one immediately. I would just have to figure out how to fit it into my budget.
Best regards,
Jörg
