Coding software and cable

RENT-A-GOAT · 04-30-2016, 10:20 AM

I bought this setup https://www.ebay.co.uk/ulk/itm/201351243615

a while ago for my E91 have the software installed and cable drivers etc done as per the install instructions but am nervous about connecting to the car and further settings to the cable.

Has anyone else bought this set off the bay?

If not what are you guys using to fault diagnose and code your cars?

What charger do you use to give required constant power? Is this nessesary? never did this coding my VWs but then again I guess the BM system is totally different

I used to think VWs VCDS was a nightmare but it's nothing like the setup with what I purchased lol

I have the Carly app and their own wifi adaptor.

Bought that as it was highly recommended and knew it wouldn't cause any issues

Run fault code checks, DPF checks and changed some coding regularly

Worth every penny

Have a look in the e90 coding section of this forum and just download the pre installed virtual machine. Everything is already set up and ready to go.
