You can buy vagcom of Amazon for around £30. I got one which came with the Ross Tech cable too. Works a treat!  :driver:

If you want Genuine (the Amazon one is a cheap Chinese copy) you're looking at £250ish but at least you know you're supporting Rosstech R&D, its not going to break after 2-3 weeks or worse case f@ck up your car!

Bought mine in Ireland from logic automotive! When you go genuine the price is constant across the board no matter where you buy from!

The cheapy clones are OK for occasional use.  Pretty sure they all use optoisolators, so your ECU will be safe.

Does the full version of VCDS work with a clone cable?
