A couple of months ago I called Ross-Tech and asked if their software supported a 1990 Audi 80 with a Air Bag light that came on. They said yes. I own several VW's and a 2002 A4 so I decided to purchase Vag-Com to support these cars. I couldn't find the OBD port for the life of me so I posted threads on several sites and I got lots of (no way it will work) car to old. I called the local Audi dealer and they told me that the only way I can turn off the Air bag light was through the Air bag controller. I spent one hour looking for that magical Black and White connector under the dash and even in the trunk. I found it just to the right of the gas pedal or lower left of center console. I plugged in and found soft code (Air bag igniter, driver side) I cleared and no more light!!. Excellent Job Ross-Tech!! Tony.

Yup. The main ECM, TCM, and Insturment Cluster connectors are under the passenger floormats.
V8q airbag connections can be found by removing the driver's side center console carpet.
VAG-COM 4.11 works with the ECM and Airbag. No compatibility with the TCM or IC, although there are only 5 or 6 codes from the TCM and only 3 from the IC.

Is the black and white connector I found only to access the air bag? Is there another connector for the rest of the car? I believe you called them, MTC,ATC....this is new to me. It would be good to know what they mean. I will have pictures soon for Andy showing where they are. Tony.

ECM = Engine Control Module (computer)
TCM = Transmission Control Module (another computer)
I don't know about Audi 80's.

Try those sites for more info, seems mostly geared towards the 90 but 80 might be similar??
