Anyone have a vag-com cable they'd like to sell?

I have an original serial Ross-Tech HEX-COM+CAN, purchased from H2Sport. Acts as hardware dongle.

That's a serial cable right? I have the same one....any way to get it to work with USB?

Although not USB but most laptops have PCMCIA card slots - Ross Tech sugests the SSP-100.

I bought the Compact Flash version SSCF-100. It also works with other devices that require Serial connection (read: Sat<cough>lite) I needed the CF to PCMCIA Adaptor ($15) To make it work in my laptop but have the option of using it in a PDA

In the end it might be cheaper to get a new USB Version VAG-COM but since I *needed* a Serial port for other *business* I opted for the adaptor.

Hope this helps.<ul><li><a href="http://www.quatech.com/catalog/rs232_pcmcia.php">http://www.quatech.com/catalog/rs232_pcmcia.php</a</li></ul>
