Volkswagen MkIV (G/J/NB) VAG-COM Info
Ross-Tech is not responsible for any damage or problems that may result from following these instructions. They are
to be used at your own risk.
Specific Modules:
01-Engine: -- KWP-1281
VAG-COM works well with all engines available in the U.S. and most engines that users have tested in overseas
markets.
Idle Speed Adaptation (may not work with APH engines, see your Repair Manual):
[Select]
[01 engine]
[Adaptation - 10]
Enter channel 01 (Channel 02 for TDI engines)
Enter an adaptation value between 124 and 132
[Save]
The actual idle values and range of adjustment will depend on the specific characteristics of the engine
and ECU.
Factory fresh ECU's often come with cruise control de-activated. If this is the case, there will not be a
letter "G" in the Component field of VAG-COM when connected to the Engine.
[Select]
[01 - Engine]
[Login - 11]
Enter 11463 to activate cruise control
[Do It!]
After doing this procedure, there should be a letter "G" in the Component field.
08-HVAC: -- KWP-1281
VAG-COM works fine
15-Airbags: -- KWP-1281
VERY IMPORTANT!!!! Read the following before attempting to access the Airbag controller:

17-Instruments: K1 -- KWP-1281
VAG-COM Works fine.
Immobilizer II Instructions:
[Select]
[17 - Instruments]
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Enter 5-digit code from below
[Do It!]
Look at the first two digits in the coding. Add the values for the options together to get the correct coding.
00 - No available equipment
+01 - Brakepad wear sensor warning active
+02 - Seatbelt warning active
+04 - Washer fluid level warning active
2 - 3538
4 - 3648 (some 2002+ models)
So, if you want to have Seatbelt warning and washer fluid warning only in a 2001 Canadian 6-cylinder
vehicle, (add 00+02+04 = 06),3,6,2 = 06362.
Look at the last digit in the coding. Add the values for the options together to get the correct coding.
0 - No available equipment
+1 - Automatic Transmission
+2 - ABS Brakes
+4 - Airbags
So, if you want to support Automatic Transmission, ABS Brakes, and Airbags, (add 1+2+4 = 7) = 00007.
Note: 2002+ models do not need to be coded separately for automatic transmission, so a 2002 with
Automatic Transmission, ABS Brakes, and Airbags, (add 2+4 = 6) = 00006.
37 - Navigation: -- KWP-1281
VAG-COM Works fine.
Selective Unlocking:
[Select]
[46 - Cent. Conv.] (35 - Cent. Locking for manual window cars)
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Look at the existing Soft. Coding. If you have selective unlocking (press the unlock button on the remote
once to open the driver's door, twice to open all the doors) the last digit of your coding should be an even
number. To make all doors unlock, add 1 to the coding.
So, if you have a 2-door 2002 GTI that is coded for selective unlocking (00064) add one to make it 00065
so that all doors unlock with one press of the unlock button.
Lock/Unlock Horn/Flash:
[Select]
[46 - Cent. Conv.] (35 - Cent. Locking for manual window cars)
[Adaptation - 10]
Channel (03..08)
Adaptation Value (1 = on, 0 = off)
[Save]
Headlamp Coding:
[Select]
[55 - H. Light Range]
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Enter 5-digit code from below
[Do It!]
available codes:
00001 - Golf 2 wheel drive
00002 - Golf 4 wheel drive
00003 - Jetta/Bora 2 wheel drive
00004 - Jetta/Bora 4 wheel drive
Headlamp Adjustment:
[Select]
[55 - H. Light Range]
[Basic Settings - 04]
Set channel to "000"
[Do It!]
Radio Recoding:
[Select]
[56 - Radio]
[Recode - 07]
Write down the existing coding for future reference.
Enter 5-digit code from below
[Do It!]
Look at the first two digits in the coding (sound field tuning):
1 - Without CD Player/Changer
3 - With CD Player/Changer
So, if you have a 2-door GTI with Monsoon and a CD changer, 01,0,3,3 = 01033.
