Guys,

Purchased one of the £15 leads and inevitably had issues with it, constantly receiving the 'No repsonse from the controller' errors despite successful port testing. I'll get rid of this one and purchase a new.

The question is, is the golden rule that only official Rosstech USB to Serial leads will be guaranteed to work?  :scared:

I came across this and it looked respectful, particularly the write up and the price is more realistic.

I know second hand Rosstech ones go for about £200+, but would this be just as likely to work?

Thanks,
Pete.

Hedge:
Thats not a genuine lead. Looks like a Chinese clone.

There is a fair chance it may work but the current VCDS release is 908.

My 2p worth but personally speaking I would save for the Ross-Tech one or not at all.

stealthwolf:
TBH if you've already wasted £15 on a clone, you should have learnt by now to go for genuine items.

Best advice is to look around for someone who is selling theirs, or buy brand-new from ross-tech. At least then if it doesn't work, you have some comeback with the seller.

vRStu:
I have reported this to Ross Tech and eBay.  These barstewardss pi$$ me off they are openly ripping people off with comments like -
