You'll need a genuine Micro-CAN or HEX+CAN cable.

VCDS Lite is for clone cables on cars using the K-line protocol, mk5's are CANBUS.

No. That's a fake cable.

Ahh it was advertised as a full version but it was one that couldnt be updated. I was thinking of buying full one so i can turn off seatbelt bleepers, usa sidelights etc

m8 if you can get a genuine ross tech for £50 grab it both hands quickly,i have had both the Micro-CAN & HEX+CAN & i bought each used ok granted i got both off here from fellow members for very good prices but both of them i paid over £150 each & i sold my micro lead on here for £180.

The moral of this is it ant cheap for the genuine stuff but it pays for it self in the long run  :happy2:
