Hello All,

I'm just curious if anybody else has come across this issue I'm currently experiencing.

I recently bought a Scanguage, but when I went to hook it up to my VW Golf MK4 1.4 Petrol , Nothing!!!! it just said "Connecting..." continously before going into sleep mode. Such bitter disapointment

Anyway I tried forcing various Modes but to no avail. ISO seems to be the code for VW earlier than 2005.

So I decided to contact Scanguage by email. They said this There seems to be a problem with the ISO capictor which is hindering the ScanGaugeII from connecting to your vehicle. They also sent out a replacement to test the theory. I cannot fault their customer service!

Unfortunately the second unit sais "connecting" also, although Scanguage and the 2 reps I was talking to said it SHOULD work with the car. Perhaps somebody might be able to suggest something.

The car has had no modifications and still retains the original VW radio!

Anybody know if it would be worth giving Ultraguage a go even though Scanguage doesn't work on my vehicle?

Any feedback much appreciated.
