It can deactivate it on almost anything

Anyway for this moment I'm still not sure what to buy VCP or VCDS ? Suppor for VCP is almost 0 and what i hear is more complicated than VCDS but VCP is working better with MQB

VCP has always worked better with MQB, the updated controller support is added a lot sooner

 

You can also do a lot of damage with VCP if you don't know what you are doing :(

So what is your advice ? I will get my S3 on the begining of next year. Better for home use buy VCDS or VCP ? I need it only for diagnistic, switch off start/stop and few other functions ? VCP have OCF and VIM for 25euro extra so really I don't know what to chose :/

There is a new release of VCP this month, the UI is changing, wait until this comes out before making a decision

UI... U mean just the program? Or is the cable new? :O Ive just spent much money on a VCP cable!

UI - User Interface, the actual program

 

If you have just bought VCP I take it you got the new v2 interface where the card is in the interface and the USB cable is separate, not integrated?

 

I notice quite a few places have been selling VCP quite cheaply, but it is the v1 cable that has now been superseded.

Yup.. V2 integrated...

 

Updated firmware and software now

Cool

 

Im on the forum with same username Looking good. I have disabled start stop, and made some light changes in BCM output programmer... But I cant really find other cool stuff to do with my S2 FL with VCP.. Maybe the new version will give me other options?

 

I think VCDS is much more user friendly for just "coding"

I don't believe that UI will be friendly like on VCDS :/

Anyway VCP for simple coding to switch some features is much more harder than VCDS ?

Buy VCP

I reedit my post because i found answer on forum. After registration are there any topics on English ?

Not many, the majority are German

 

There is an excellent Polish VCP forum I believe

There is not to much info in Poland about VCP. There is one big forum but all new users are banned same day when they register account. All posts on this forum are very old this is the reason why Im thinking to spend more money and buy VCDS. In VCDS on VIM is missing

 

Just tell me simple coding in VCP is easy like in VCDS or more complicated ?

More difficult because VCP dont have long coding helper! And no documented adaptions. U see every byte and bits in VCP, but no explanation!

Sorry, that is misleading.

 

VCP has 'Text Coding' for the more recent modules, you don't see the bytes and bits, you get full descriptions. You don't need 'Long Coding Helper' as it performs the same function in a better way.

Adaptation channels are the same for the more recent modules.

VCDS doesn't have the OCF or the ability to change adaptations in Engineering Mode, scan controllers for login codes, upload parameter sets with zdc files etc etc.

 

If the modules in your car are not documented, let support know and they may add them?

 

VCP has not been going for as long as VCDS, so the newer modules are fully documented and VCP is usually months ahead of VCDS in support for newer modules.

It means that you recomend VCP ?

Wait until the v5.0 comes out and I will let you know

Text coding? Please explain. Never seen anything like this!

When you connect to a controller you have the buttons for 'Adaptation', 'Coding' and there is one there for 'TXT Coding' if it is supported on that module

Thank u!! Gonna test tonight
