This interface comes with an OBD-II type connector which plugs directly into all VW, Audi, Seat, and Skoda cars which are compatible with this interface.

Compatibility:

This interface is compatible only with cars based on Mk.5 Golf technology.

These currently include:

1K-chassis (Mk.5) VW Golf (Rabbit) and Jetta including the GTI and GLI versions.

3C-chassis (B6) VW Passat

8P-chassis Audi A3

8J-chassis Audi TT

1T-chassis VW Touran mini-van

1F-chassis VW Eos

2K-chassis VW Caddy

5M-chassis Golf Plus

5P-chassis Seat Altea and Toledo

1P-chassis Seat Leon

1Z-chassis Skoda Octavia

If your car's chassis type isn't on this list, it's not compatible with this interface!

All of these chassis-types are the latest generation of that model. Previous generations of the same model are not compatible and should use a KEY- or HEX- series interface instead. If you're not certain, please check your car's VIN. The 7th and 8th digit have the chassis code. For example: WAUMF78P06A0NNNNN is an 8P-chassis Audi A3.

Extending this Interface:

The cable on this interface is about 6 feet long -- just right for most laptops. The USB standards do not allow for passive extension cords! We have tested many Active USB extensions and have found one that works. You can order the 16-ft Active USB Extension from our Store. We do not sell or support any other brands or models of USB extensions, if you have problems when using one, the first thing we're going to tell you is to eliminate the extension.

The Micro-CAN acts as a "dongle" for VAG-COM, so VAG-COM should be fully functional on any PC when used with this interface. However, product support is provided only to the original purchaser. If you buy a second-hand Micro-CAN from someone and want support, you'll still need to pay $99 to register.

Software:

The Micro-CAN must be used with Release 607.0 or newer version of VAG-COM.

Known Issues:

This interface performs best with Windows XP or Vista. It can be used with Windows 98, ME, or 2000, but performance may be somewhat degraded by using an OS other than Windows XP.
