In regard to the very early line free IPK we chatted about, I am indecisive, given it does not have the 'front foglight' dash indicator facility, but does have the airbag warning light instead. Cheers
If Phil does not have the insert for the foglight I can send you one.

if you want it work on OSX, you will have to use virtualisation software like vmware, and run a windows installation via it for your mac. Virtualbox I believe is free and may run it. I use vmware and have a windows 7 install on my macbook pro.

Thanks bud, I have vmware 5 and windows XP, but no longer use it as I had to partition the drive to save space. I suspect it is still on board but have not used it in ages. Thanks for reminding me about the vm software

Dug my old Vag clone lead out today and soldered a bridge across pins, took me a while to get the drivers to install it on windows 7 as I had lost the originals, used this site:

http://www.ftdichip.com/Drivers/VCP.htm

Phils software connected and worked a dream, my -27900 mile service interval that has been irritating me has now been reset and the MPH gimmick put on, Excellent easy to use software.

Thanks

Hats off to Peter EDIT! Phil for supplying the software, very much appreciated.

So who is going to be the first to post up a Youtube demonstration showing all the working options?
