Default Cheap Ebay Vag-Com Cables

Hey guys, Just wondering about these cables with the shareware Ross-tech software on ebay for ~€10.

Has anyone purchased one? Can you recommend a good seller?

Basically all i want to be able to do is read errors, then clear errors and see what errors come back. Anybody with experience know if these cables work?

Alpha-bid has good cables at a good deal. You need to download the freeware ross-tech.

Will do, going to use it as recommended to see what faults are there before trying to hack it for the newer software.

It's expensive. My buddy is giving me a eBay cable today. Do I use the software that came with it or download it off the website?
Also to update is the hack hard?

I read this,but I tried to download new software but nothing.
Do I need to use the free software first then down the new and do this hack?
Sorry For the trouble.
