Actually I did read your message, but perhaps misunderstood it. I thought you were condoning eBay rip off cables for those that can't afford the real deal. I now understand what you meant and apologize for misreading it.

I said I would and do exactly that and have such a cable as well as agreeing w toms identical advice.  Guess the 3 $ was enraging somehow.  Otherwise we agree.

I've met a lot of those guys. For them $125 for lite plus a cable fully does the job for now.  Don't see the need for such condemnation for those people not going full boat.

If you are working on a car new enough to have a use for VCDS then it's cost is pretty insignificant compared to the cost of your car.

Not everybody can justify full $$$ for scanning the few primitive codes you get from an AAN.
