Does anyone here use VAG-COM? does it have the ability to recode a new ECU to a car?

Thanks Craig.

Suggest you ask your question here

These are the people who make the VAG-Com & VCDS.

I use it on a pre Can-Bus Polo GTI...


Any yes, the full version can recode all modules Mighty useful!

I've used it on the missus' old mk4 Golf TDI and my 02 A4. Recoded it after retro fitting the cruise control and the newer SCM. There's a wiki on what all the modules mean and what values are needed.
All you need then is the USB cable. Think I paid a tenner for mine.

Used it with freeware version to diagnose a dashboard light on my Mk4 Gt Tdi. The freeware version just enabled you to find out the fault, but is limited on resetting them.
Luckily mine reset itself when I changed the bit acting up.

Yes you can and it's dead easy. You're actually coding the ECU to the immobiliser built into the instrument cluster.
