Not sure how to actually begin, how to connect to the FTDI, whether to flash the ATMEGA on the board or off, and if the programmers and adapters I've collected are of any use. Reading that some if not all of these procedures can be done without special equipment. Have wanted to get involved, and learn how it all fits together, and what works and what doesn't.. Trouble is don't have time to experiment, would rather pay someone to fix this clone, or help with what is probably common sense for you guys, or just bite the bullet and buy an original Ross-Tech.
I don't see a lot of VWs, but still want to have the best coverage I can afford for all makes. The VAG-COM would be a good "scanner" to add to the collection: Genisys, MT2500, AutoEnginuity, CarDaq+, HIM, assorted ELM and generic interfaces. (Big thanks to DK members for HDS and Techstream among other valuable resources)
So anyone , preferably in US who can help me directly by phone or send VAG-COM to you for modding. I will make it worth your time..If it helps others, also will gladly share what I've learned here, and have experienced over the last 30 or so years.. Please reply or PM me ....Thanks to all
