Saw a few places online selling it but anyone got any idea where's best to get it? Also the OBD-II - USB cable for Laptop.


cheers.

 

Buy it direct from Ross-tech.

Whats it for? If its just for general clearing fault codes, adaptations etc then get an ebay cable and the lite version of the software (think its Ł69 iirc)

If its for professional/business use, then buy one of the packages from ross-tech. They do plenty to suit your needs.

 

Just for general stuff, I saw it advertised on a website for Ł24 with Cable, sounded a bit cheap!?

 

Yeh thats obviously a pirated copy. I use a Ł12 ebay cable with a Ł69 copy of the software and its done everything I've ever asked of it.

Some of the pirated copies can be ok, but some of them are difficult to get working.

I just thought for Ł80 ish quid, it wasnt worth the hassle of messing around with dodgy copies

 

As said above, 3rd party USB cable of Ebay and buy the license of Ross Tech

 

As above if its for older vehicles as this is what I have done.

If you want to do the newer vehicles though you need the lead with can-bus or something like that else you cannot read anything other than engine as I have just found out.

Latest version is VCDS-Lite 1.1

 

Yea just noticed the can bus thing! cheers guys.

 

Another vote for Ross Tech, i bought the full cable and software from them, it was pricey at Ł270 but i have used it loads on various vehicles so far.

 

got mine from http://www.ross-tech.com/

 

speak to derek he is the uk dealer spot on bloke and will always help you

Thanks again guys

 

depending on what you want it for.
ive just bought 1 of the cheap ebay Ł15 jobbies.
i only want it to turn off the eml light on my missus golf.
its a stupid cat problem, 2 lambdas reading different but no prblems...

if you can wait a couple of days i will let you know if it works and how well

 

Aye let me know how you get on Stu, I'll just use it for similar stuff tbh! airbag warning lights also as common probs on golfs.

cheers.

 

For resetting fault codes, an ebay cable and the free version of the software from the ross-tech site will work fine
