Paul Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 I might hold off this one. [ QUOTE ] HEX Interfaces require firmware version 1.72. Update is automatic. New firmware is not backwards compatible with older versions of VAG-COM. [/ QUOTE ] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted March 2, 2007 Report Share Posted March 2, 2007 Just used this in anger on a customer install, nearly came a cropper, the long coding helper for A6 was missing, had to code it with the 607.3 version and cut and pste the new code into 7.02 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PetrolDave Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Sounds like it's worth staying with 607.3 until 70x becomes a full release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 As Uwe mentioned in another forum, thanks to Craig for finding that one. The issue has been fixed and version 702.1 is now being distributed through the automatic updater and also the beta download page. [ QUOTE ] Sounds like it's worth staying with 607.3 until 70x becomes a full release. [/ QUOTE ] FWIW, if nobody reports such issues they would be in the full release too. We've done a lot of testing before the beta got announced but it's quite normal that you can't check everything, so we do need such reports and we are very thankful for them.

[/ QUOTE ] What makes me say that I will stay with 607.3 is the loss of backwards compatibility due to the firmware upgrade that 702 carries out. I'd like to be part of the beta program, but I need a working VAG-COM. If you can sort out the loss of backwards compatibility I'll join the beta program ASAP!!!

Paul Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I am the same. I usually always run the Beta software, but if I cannot go back to previous versions because of the firmware update, I would rather wait. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craigyb Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Actuall 7.02 gave me more functionality as lots of new toys on the A8/A6 etc are now codeable. Such as the SAP phone kit etc, so I'm happy to run with 7.02+ a bit more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sebastian Posted March 3, 2007 Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 Ah, that's cool. We are trying to complete the documentation of the A6/Q7/A8 control modules, in the meanwhile you may also find the WIKI pages handy (in case you did not found them yet): http://wiki.ross-tech.com/index.php/Audi_A6/S6/allroad_%284F%29 BTW: The "lost" backwards compatibility is intentional, we excuse for that but it was necessary. Participating is completely voluntarily and since we don't force people to participate there is no need to excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDiAvant Posted March 3, 2007 Author Report Share Posted March 3, 2007 I'm going to stick with the beta version. It's doing everything I need at the moment, and if there is a problem I'm sure Ross Tech will fix it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
