Andy is right, too many people try to rip off other peoples products...
and it always seems to end up being lower quality. I am somwhat biased because Ross-Tech has been very good about helping me out.

ya, I thought the DIY cable was a standard thing that anyone could do, didn't realize it was
copyright infringement. I guess I didn't realize that they had a special design. OBDII Cables are readily available everywhere and can be purchased on a lot of "LEGAL" websites. I guess the standard OBDII Cable wouldn't work with Vag-com?
BTW, I use Vector CAN/J1850 tools at work all the time, they have their security in the software, not the cable because I buy generic OBDII cables off websites to use with this software for work purposes.

ahem...
I don't think the thread should have been deleted according to this.
Taken from your website:
Can I buy an Interface adapter somewhere else?
Yes. You may find vendors that are willing to sell compatible interface adapters without any software license. We have no problem with that. Once you're up and running, you can register your VAG-COM software with us for $99, but please don't expect start-up support from us if you can't get it working. We cannot provide support for 3rd party hardware. We have reports that some 3rd party Interfaces do not work correctly with some controllers. We will not provide either hardware or software support for you unless you are our customer. If you buy someone else's interface and can't get it working, contact your vendor for support! Of course if you buy one of our complete hardware/software kits, we will provide start-up support as well as free updates for at least one year from date of purchase. Compatibility of future versions of VAG-COM with 3rd party interfaces is not guaranteed. "
By the way, no one was talking about illegal hacking or doing anything to the software, it was all hardware talk, so I don't see the problem. Please explain because we have conflicting information here.<ul><li><a href="http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/faq_3.html">http://www.ross-tech.com/vag-com/faq_3.html</a></li></ul>
