Absolutely well said as it gives buyers a false sense of security when they're actually counterfeit & as soon as you update the software which would entail a firmware update aswell, the lead then becomes useless.
Why waste good money on rubbish when the genuine kit is always updated for newer cars & any bugs, support is free, works on nearly all older VAG cars dating back number of years, safe to use on the car, no chance of cable going wrong & I can absolutely say I havnt heard one complaint about the cables to date & also not one has gone faulty except the guy who ran over his with the car, lol.

Additionally you may find that the supplied instructions for that non-genuine cable warns you not to try updating the cd supplied cracked 704 software and to turn off your wifi before using it.

If people want to use VCDS buy an original cable and actually give some credit to the sofwtare developers. Cheap clone cables are just that, cheap; profits going to manufacturer, not Ross-Tech and will probably not work as in each new release Ross-Tech works hard to combat all the clone cables out there. If you value the software pay for it legitimately by getting an original cable. Rant over :happy2:

Nigel for short :grin:
As for used leads, sorry no I dont as no one has ever wanted to sell there's tbh, which speaks for itself overall, they're worth every penny & they cost £241 delivered via special delivery for the Hex Can USB version, as tbh the difference in price for microcan version isnt worth it for me or anyone else given hex can usb does every car & most people end up doing a few jobs anyway which usually nets few quid here & there, so for me given audis is 5k+ there's no contest.
It always makes me wonder why people spend 15-30k on cars then scrimp on the best tool or addition for there car then later complain of problems, still astounds me, common sense prevails guys.
Buy genuine & no problems to date, not one person sold to has comeback with issues.

Not a rant tbh, just a very honest & wise opinion, couldnt say it better myself, reason I sell these is because fedup with seeing people complain about counterfeits & I only make few beers each cable tbh so its not exactly a Bill Gates scenario, lol, just dont wanna hear people saying it doesnt work all the time, lol.
