 ETKA Explained

ETKA software, made by LexCom GmbH, is used by VW/Audi dealerships to look up parts and their respective part numbers and prices; ETKA provides illustrations for virtually all parts and accessories of all VWs.  This software is available to the public and is available through VW dealers at a hefty cost.  eBay sellers often have ETKA CDs for sale, but buyer beware: these CDs are really bootleg copies of the actual software and are often not for North American models (majority are sold from European locales) and require a certain screen resolution and may require additional software files to run properly; be sure the CD will work on your computer prior to purchasing.  If you're seriously interested in obtaining an ETKA CD, or any similarly-produced software, visit http://autocd.com/ (or go ahead and purchase it from eBay or VW).  Need help in using your ETKA?  Visit this link.  If you'd like to see what ETKA is, visit this link (you must register to view the catalog - it's free! - and select "Golf Cabriolet" as the model).
