I've just got the VAG-COM cable from Ebay. Having some fun with my Sharan today. So Kidderminster area is in if anyone is interested. Just need a bit of time to work out how the thing works. I am an IT Teacher by trade so I am hoping that I can crack it soon! Need to use the School laptop for something good! Is the connector under the ash tray in all VW's?

Mine is a Six Seater - the floor tracks are all there for Seven. Move the rear passenger side seat in the middle of the middle row. Move the other middle row seat to the outer tracks. You need to take the outer arm rest off. That back seat has a lap belt built in. Just need to buy another seat which is the expensive bit. What year is yours? Suppose it could be different. Mine is a Sharan VR6 Highline - R Reg. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info - this is a job that is planned soon - it looks like GSF is the place to go. Don't fancy a battle with the VW Dealer. They are bit strange in Devon at the best of times...

Whatever polish you use I want some!

I'll do some more investigating. Thanks VR6Pete!

Is it really bad news to remove the plug lead without the tool if done carefully? Does it not just clip into place? I've possibly got aftermarket leads...

I know I'm thick but I've been looking at the VAG-COM system. Where does it plug in? I think my Sharan will be an OBD-II (1998 car).

Is the software VAGCOM too? Any idea how much a lead is and where to get one from?

Are these "legal to use" or for "shows only"?

Thanks! OK that makes sense - just insulated it for the moment. There's a spare DIN sized hole underneath the stereo so presumably there is also some wiring to do with that... Does anyone know anything easy(ish) to check for to make sure Cruise is working?

Just bought my VR6 Sharan and having a few stereo problems - wired for a sony because the speaker connection is wired and fits fine - unfortunately all of the power related cables have been left insulated behing a stereo that wasn't attached at all! Thanks previous owner. There's a small red wire that seems to be permanently live. Large red wire that is live when ignition is on. A couple of brown wires - would there be 2 earths? There is a blue wire that I don't know what to do with... Using the above educated guessing have managed to get the stereo working. Great. I'm worried because having r
