After a bit of searching I can't get a deffinitive answer..... grrr

I am trying to find out which VAG.COM lead to buy from Ross Tech, but can't appear to get my head around what I need.

The car is a 2002 mk1 Octavia vRS, and I want the ability to look at and change settings as needed.

I've found out I need to buy the full registered version to be able to make changes, so this is what I want - just don't know which one

The laptop will have a USB connection.

Thanks

The Key USB will do the job, as the MKI is on a K line.

Ross-Tech: KEY-USB Interface

If you are thinking of changing your car in the future, the HEX-USB+CAN does cars with both K line and CAN diagnostics - the Octavia 2 uses CAN. More money I know, but either way VAG Com is excellent value for money.

Ross-Tech: HEX-USB+CAN Interface

Both of these are intelligent interfaces where the software license is incorporated into the lead, so you can run and update to the latest software versions.

Thanks for that.

I have a Octavia II and the mk1 is the wifes, so might just get the cable to do both

I have a MK2 Octavia and had tried to find out what software / hardware i needed, and like twonks was just left a little confused by it all. So thanks fordfan.

If you're not interested in doing older k-line cars with it too, just get the micro-CAN lead. £179.99 delivered from gendan.
