Vag-com on ebay

I see everyone selling VAG-COM interfaces on eBay claiming that all you need to do is download the free software from Ross-tech. See, e.g., http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=43989&item =4549498241&rd=1

Because I'm technologically challenged, can anyone tell me whether these products can be used with our A8s, or what I'm missing in going this route.

Thanks in advance.

Bill G.

You still need to pay to activate the software to get full functionality. I would just buy....

the software/cable bundle from Ross Tech. Uwe has done (and continues to do) an amazing job supporting this product, and I think we should support him. Also, the cables you buy off ebay are of questionable quality. If you ever have a problem with a Ross Tech cable, it will likely be replaced.
