The freeze frame data seems to cleared when the DTC's are cleared. Hmmm... perhaps there is still a backdoor into the ECU for DTC history...

Moral of the story. <b>Clear your DTC's</b>

I'd advise looking at them first and not blindly using your EMCS feature.

Ok I just looked through the manual and address 33 mode 02 shows the freeze frame data, also there is a mode 9 that has vin info... This is untested and unconfirmed at this point, as the manual tends to have some inaccuracies. I will investigate this further this weekend

I use SnagIt (for Windoze) at www.snagit.com, works like a charm!

Hmm. The traditional way to access Freeze-Frame data is through "OBD-II", the VAG Protocols don't support it directly. Unfortunately, "OBD-II" runs through a completely different set of low-level comm protocols, and it isn't somthing I can add support for "over night". It is in the long-term plan for VAG-COM to be able to do "OBD-II". But aside from Freeze-Frame data, there's nothing the VAG-Protocols don't do just as well or better.

Now I *suspect* that the freeze-frame data might be accessible through the VAG-protocols in some of the data-blocks. If this is the case -- and I'll have to do some experimenting to be sure -- you'll have access to it in the the version about to be released, although it won't be as pretty as what OBDTool / OBD2Scan show you.

Is there a specific OBD tool name or version that I should ask them about?
