aye the cheap usb vagcom cables off ebay dont include the full VCDS-lite software, so you got to buy that separate if you need the extra features. the expensive vag-com cables have the licence built into the cable instead, and you use the full VCDS software with it. Be sure to buy a genuine cable if you go that route, as the VCDS can often detect a naughty cable and wipe it!
do you have any fault codes logged, think its got to be clear of any codes that affect ecu running before it will adapt (so things like airbag and abs comms are no problem, but sensor codes would be an issue) what procedure are you following as it can differ depending on age
yes got 17987 adaption not started ,tried doing it and the end box adp says error ,.my battery isn't the best would this be a problem ive tried another tb and its the same ,.if I press throttle it works
