    As title really, where is the best place to buy VCDS / VAG-COM ?

    And what sort of price would I be looking at ?

    It would definitely be handy to have, plus I've got a spare laptop which I could use for this only.

    Any recommendations, links ect would be great.

    Cheers. :thumbup:

    Cheers for the replies everyone :thumbup:

    At $99 downloaded, you can't go wrong really.

    Will have a look later on once I'm back home.

    A genuine vagcom cable can pay for itself if your that way inclined

    Yeah that's true. Been look at the genuine ones for sale. A lot of, cheapo ones about though, which I think I'll steer of.

    Funny you said that Eddie. Been looking at there eBay shop earlier ;)

    I'm serious, I have been holding on to my crappy dell laptop running XP for years just for the serial port. I need to upgrade it sometime!

    I have a genuine lead. But can't go wrong with a 25 clone.

    I got a lead free with my VR6 donor car, so I was going to go down the $99 download.
    I'm hoping it will pay for itself at some point!

    The software is free from Ross tech. It's the lead that costs as the licence is built in to the lead. The cheap ebay leads don't have the licence built in.
