It says the following:-

IPK Changer V1.0.0

This software is FREE for personal use only, it is not to be used for ANY commercial gain.

To use this software you will need a Vagcom 409.1 KKL cable (available from Ebay), pins 7 & 8 must be soldered together for it to work on the Rover 75/MG ZT.

Install the cable and plug into the car's diagnostic socket.

Start the program and select the COMxx port belonging to the cable.

Press the "Connect" button, if successful, a message will appear "Connected to IPK - YACxxxxxx") and the "Commands" section will become active.


"Enable MC Speedo" - this will enable the digital speedo readout on the message centre.

"Set MC Language" - Using the "Select Language" and pressing the button will change the language text.

"ODO Miles" - Changes the lower part of the display to show distance in Miles.

"ODO Km" - Changes the lower part of the display to show distance in Kilometers.

"Test Chime" - Tests the internal IPK sounder.

"Test IPK" - Tests the dials and indicator lamps (not all lamps can be tested).

"Set Oil Service" - Enter the mileage you want your Oil service interval to be set at.

"Reset SIA" - Clears ALL service interval data, Oil, Inspection and Time.

"Restart IPK" - Resets the IPK back to a power on state.


Hope this helps anyone who has downloaded the zip but cannot read the text file.

Have you got the file IPKChanger.zip downloaded to your PC?

if so then right click on it

select 'open With'
and hopefully you will see several options
In good old fasioned XP you can then select 'Compressed folders' to extract the files

Can you normally extract from zipfolders ok?
Good luck

I take it from the instructions that I will need to take the plug on the above apart and bridge across/solder together pins 7 & 8 within the plug.
Yes that's correct.

Are you clicking on the link or using a right click and selecting save as?

Never had a problem with zipped files before Much preferred XP to Windows 7 ; Windows 10 won't download to my pc !
I tend to prefer older things , like a Rover 75 !
Thanks for the tip .

Default Excellent

Thanks for the time and effort you have put into this and for offering it as freeware. The user interface seems simple and easy to use, I have an old VAG lead that I used on VCDSLite on a X reg 2000 VW Passat. Would this lead do the job after the soldering is done?
