I though the rosstech s/w was ludicrously priced......

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/VCDS-10-6-4-VAG-FULL-ACTIVATED-PACKAGE-VW-AUDI-/250863976887?pt=UK_Diagnostic_Tools_Equipment&hash=item3a68a881b7

Is that too good to be true? I was going to get one of those handheld devices for about £40...but if that link is the full package, I might as well go for that!

The comment 'software is not updateable' shows it is a hacked version.

It is also interesting his feedback is 6 and all he has sold is 6 of these hacked VCDS items.

Genuine VCDS is great value for money. Quality lead and bug free software.

+1

Not to mention second to none customer support from Ross-Tech, if / when it's needed, plus free updates.

For most people you are better off finding a genuine VCDS owner and giving them 'a drink' for doing a scan and any adaptations, or if you are going to use it a lot (including on other peoples cars) then get the pukka jobbie.

First auction has been pulled by ebay, so obviously was hacked software.

Second device linked to by fsa is simply a code reader and clearer, it cannot do anything else.

Get the real proper VCDS, you will not regret it.
