Title: Opinions Please - VAGCOM Software To Buy
Post by: lukemk5gti on August 08, 2014, 10:54:04 am

I'd like to buy the VAGCOM software as an airbag light came on in the car and I figure now is a perfect excuse to go ahead and buy it.

Considering I'll be likely getting an Audi in the future I want the software to be capable of handling all VAG cars.

I'm looking at RossTech direct for this piece of kit http://store.ross-tech.com/shop/VCHUC.html

Price is around €260 or £207

Can anyone who has bought similar software please share their advice?

Has anyone purchased direct from Ross-Tech and shipped direct to UK/Ireland?

It is the lead only that is purchased.  In this country you can buy from.

The software is a free download from the Ross tech website.  HTH.  :happy2:

They all tend to sell for the same price. It bought mine from Gendan.
