its quite odd, that APR makes it quite difficult to find the ECUx product on their website. dunno whats up with that, but i found it via MarkP's website.

i have a Hex+CAN VAG cable and want to make sure i DONT need the USB cable that APR also sells with the ECUx.

TIA

Default IIRC, APR is working on a new version of ECUx so they aren't pushing the old version but still do

sell it.

You should be fine using your VAG cable. Some people have had difficulties with the USB-based VAG cables and ECUx, but the serial cables have worked fine, to my knowledge (I know mine does).

Default My USB VAG Cable (Key-USB) works fine for Lemmi, VAG, and ECUx.

I say don't wait on the new version since we have no idea when it'll be publically released.

And upgrade will not be free. Also, new version will only work with proprietary cable.
