Please help, Im looking to buy a Vag Com cable and i found a few on ebay such as this one

http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/USB-K...em280196723403

Ok so my question is, If i buy this cable and download the free Vag Com software will i be able to change codes and run tests. If yes then why would anyone spend 200 for a cable and software from Ross Tech?? Please help

 

Anyone??

 

you can only do so much much with the years old version of the sw. if you just want to run codes and a run a few logs, a ebay cable should work. But if you really want to run logs and tune the car plus do other things, you need a real cable. Not to mention not all ebay cables work

 

E-bay cables suck! IMO. Don't waste your money on what could be a headache and just spend the God damn $250. Your getting a scanner thats equal to the $5,000 VAS one anyway.
