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.

Resale:

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/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/Vista and compatibility with "difficult" control modules may be reduced.

Notes:

• This interface requires a special driver to be installed on your PC.  It does not emulate a COM port.  
  That means this interface will not work with any other software besides VAG-COM.

• We do not sell any interfaces as a "Stand-Alone" products.
  We only sell them with our VAG-COM software.
