I will probably trade my Octavia for something else in about 6 to 9 months. In the mean time I'm thinking of buying a pukka cable from an authorised Ross Tech agent/supplier. If this proposed something else is not a VAGmobile is it OK to sell the cable on to a third party? In other words do I own the cable outright.

Yes, the cable is yours to sell. See answer 3.10 in Ross-Tech's FAQs above for more info.

Right thanks. I see that the next owner doesn't get support or upgrades unless he re-registers at a cost of $99.
