Default To buy VAG COM???

Noob looking to get a Vag com for my '10 A5...Will this work?

Any idea why it way cheaper than what Ross-Tech sells it for?
Thanks

I think it might be because it is really only the cable and not a license to the software. If you want you could get the cable for well under $20 and then buy the license from Ross Tech (I think it is $99). That would save you a lot on buying it all from Ross.

Here is a link to the software - Third Party interfaces can only use the LIGHT version of the software:

Maybe check for local Audi-enthusiast with a VAG who might do it for free or a small fee?
