I'm looking to put together a Vag tool that is cheaper...

 

If you want I have an E-bay cable that is obd to serial that I will sell you for $22 shipped.
and I also have a serial to USB converter if you need with softwhere I will sell for $10 more.
Let me know.

 

Got myself this:
http://stores.ebay.com/alpha-bid/USB-Vag-Com-Cable.html
Works fine with 311.2 & 409.1 versions. (currently usin' 311.2)
Alpha-bid seller has a good reputation, especially in case of returns/exchanges.

VAG-Tool from Rosstech will use USB connectivity for only original VAG cables.
For 3rd party cables (like these), the drivers that you will install will simulate a COM port, which you can change to any COM 1 to 4, whichever is available.

I would rather have the product shipped from within US.

The cable I have is from Alpha bid. like i said i will send you the sails slips from when I orderd it.

 

I now have the real Ross-Tech cable

 

Wondering if the old one worked fine for you ??

I dont have a serial port on my computer so I could not just us the vag cable.
The problem I have is I cant figure out how to get my computer to see the Usb converter that I need to use.
I don't know that much about computers.

 

Did u buy the serial to USB converter with the VAG serial Interface, or did u buy it seperate like from Belkin and other company.
A product link would be helpful though.

the converter is separate but I got both from Alpha bid at the same time. The converter is the green one they sell.

 

This is the cable
