[V8] vag-com info

[dsaad at icehouse.net]

Thanks Alan

That is the same info I found. 
I can not find any listing for reading individual channels, and the "display 
section" shown on these pages does not seem to line up with the readouts I get.
eg: chan 3 does not vary with engine speed.

In vag-com, when I press the basic settings button, nothing happens. The screen 
never switches to the basic settings screen, no error message pops up, it just 
stays on the top level engine controller screen. I never tried pressing "Q". I 
will give that one a try tonight. It also looks like I might have an older 
version of vag-com. (301) I might try to find the newer one too.
