I have to take my '96 Passat to the dealership and pay $45 to get it hooked up to the computer because I don't have the code for the radio. Since they have a set price for hooking it up, are there an additional diagnostics, information, etc. that can be ran/pulled from the computer that would be helpful to know? Just wondering if I can get a little more bang for my $45 bucks.

Thanks.

 

No there isn't. You can get real-time diagnostic
information of what your car is doing via all the
sensors. But it's useless unless you're tuning
or checking for a problem. The only other
thing that would come up are trouble codes.
If there's nothing wrong with the car, nothing will
show up.

 

i dont know of anything either...and 45 bucks is actually pretty cheap.

 

Ye 45 buskv si cheap and no nothing more it's used to fix problems nd such .

 

hi ,i have passat b6 sportline from 2007 year , and my car doesn't have a board computer ,why ?

 

Welcome to the forum.

It doesn't have an ecu you just haven't found it yet. I think its under the carpet passenger side. You will have a purple Diagnostic Trouble Codes (DTC) socket which checks the ecu that's under the dash.
