Default APR ECUx will need to have Vag-Com ver 5041 to work.

For those of you who are using the APR ECUx with the Vag Com cable be advised the new ver of Ross Tech Vag Com (512-514) will not work with ECUx. The new Vag Com has a new USB drivers that will not support ECUx.

You will need to use the older Vag Com ver 504, you can find it on my site.

If you have already installed the new ver of Vag Com you will need to uninstall it and install the older USB drivers.

The USB drives that will work with ECUx look like this.

Default APR could save us all hours and hours of our time and money if they would just supply a cable.

I spoke to them two weeks ago and "ordered" the "last cable they had". It has not shown up and they have not hit my credit card.
