[Vwdiesel] VAG-COM

[James Hansen]

Pretty much Mark. It's very useful, and Linda and Uwe are excellent to deal
with.  It's more pricey than when I bought it years ago, but still a bargain
when you consider shop rates... and that when you go to the dealer, more
likely than not, there will be Vag-Com in the shop, in addition to the
company software.  Most mechs I know prefer Vag-Com anyway... it's easier to
use.
You buy Vag-Com, you get support.  other stuff, you get er... the stuff.

Sounds like I should just buy it and call it done.
I don't want to hassle with registration if I move to
a different computer (all too likely in this day and age)
