VW Dataplug Does not recognise my VIN number

[ajw1100]

Hardly a great loss in terms of dosh, but I read in this forum that the VW dataplug worked on our Skoda Mk3's. I've got the plug, downloaded the app, entered all the required details, created the account and got up to entering my VIN number at which point it was not recognized. Do the VW plugs work in Mk3's or is there something I have missed?

Which app have you downloaded? Skoda Connect Lite works for me with a VW plug.

From memory the plugs are all the same unit provided by Texa diagnostics. It's only the app that differs. 

 

I use a skoda plug and the skoda app in a Seat, it works well.

. Just realised where I have screwed up, I have the VW App not the Skoda app No wonder it didn't like my VIN.

 

As the Skoda is part of the VW  Group !

Time to uninstall and start again me thinks......!!
