If you want to read codes from all the modules, then you will need something like the $14 enhanced diagnostic add-on for OBDFusion (or just buy an OBDLink MX+ and they are included) If you want to read trouble codes, any generic OBD scanner will do. Nissan does this by having a different parts for different countries. so EVERYONE can poke around or just buy a kit from RossTech.Īlso, since the VAG needs to meet the regulations of MANY countries, it needs a more modular and programmable system. The VAG ECU (or more accurately the "DME") programming is done by Bosch or Siemens and they seem to leak info like a sieve.

UpRev and EcuTek are two companies that have done this and offer a good product. This is difficult and very time consuming. The Nissan ECU programming is done in-house, so EVERYTHING has to be reverse engineered. There is a BIG difference between the Nissan and VAG (Volkswagen Audi Group) ECU and electronics. I've checked local forum, and have not found any topics related to code readers, apart of general cheap ELM, torque pro and some OBD2 brand agnostic scanners.Īs going to the dealer/indy each time I have code ( maybe Nissan will throw them less frequently than Audi or BMW ) and pay same money which I can spend on the cable only once, seems stupid for me.įortunately I found info on a Russian website: ( google chrome will translate it for you )Īnd I'm curious now: If anyone tried to go that way ? Hence I'm looking for the same soft&cable for Nissan. Same for BMW there is a ISTA/rheingold software with a 15$ cable

In fact I never visited any technician to scan the codes and interpret them to a solution. I've had an turbo Audi previously and Vag Com & MPLS cables and software were very powerful tools to read all parameters, configure lots of stuff, read and write ECU, have logs, etc. Hi everyone, I've recently bought 370z, and I'm surprised there are no popular topics on diagnostic cables & software.
