Title: VAGTacho 5.0 RB4 2002 A4 issues Post by: stolenheartdealer on August 26, 2014, 10:28:41 AM I'm having trouble connecting using VAG Tacho 5.
My ECU is IMMO off, could this be the problem? When selecting the RB4 profile in VAG Tacho it doesn't connect. If I select 'Connect any' then it will connect but there are no useful functions available. Can't read EEPROM whatever I try. I will post screens of specific error later tonight but I had read around that IMMO off could cause an issue so I was hoping someone here may have had experience with this already. Thanks Title: Re: VAGTacho 5.0 RB4 2002 A4 issues Post by: k0mpresd on August 26, 2014, 07:58:14 PM genuine or clone?
if genuine, email the maker of the tool and he will help. if clone, throw it in the garbage before you break something and are screwed.

Scanned a friend's 2004 Audi 3.0 that also had an RB4 and wasn't able to read or connect properly. His ECU is stock as far as we both know so I think I can safely conclude the clone tool is shite. So I might spring for a VAG Dash clone or try to exchange this tool for another of the same :/ we'll see...

btw, i have genuine, and it is not anywhere near $950. Title: Re: VAGTacho 5.0 RB4 2002 A4 issues Post by: stolenheartdealer on August 27, 2014, 10:46:26 AM Where'd you get it?
http://www.opelinfo.com/ (http://www.opelinfo.com/) has it for ~$515 US but their distributor http://www.aetools.us/vagusb.html (http://www.aetools.us/vagusb.html) sells it for $950 If it were $200 to $300 dollars I think I would save a bit and do it. Maybe it'll show up used in the classifieds but until then a $36 dollar clone that might or might not work is worth the savings especially considering I may only use it once.
