That is all...

The pronunciation of "VAG" is also very important...

Since we're here...

VAG-COM Diagnostic System

Vag rhymes with sag and wag... it does not rhyme with badge

What don't we go around saying we drive and Auto Union S5, just because it used to be called that at one time.

We have been calling it vagcom for 25 years. Presumably longer than you have been doing this.

It's a little bit like the never-ending attempt to get the car guys to call 'em Bimmers and leave Beemer to the bikes. Ain't gunna happen much.

I does elicit a giggle when some rhyme VAG with badge, tho'.

20 years for me.
Always called it by it's actual name.

VCDS not VAG-COM
Wheels not rimz
Potato not potato

According to my archives the name change occurred somewhere between V704 and V805 - around Oct, 2008 or maybe slightly earlier [:)]

Imagine when he finds out what "VCDS" is an acronym for?

Imagine when you find out why it's an acronym... Which turns out to be the reason why they can't call it VAG-COM anymore.
Hence the name "change" to VCDS.. Which is in fact the actual current name of the product.

Imagine when you figure out that we dont give a shit, and will continue to call it vagcom.

Anyways, welcome to the ignore list.
