i think you would be ok with a cable from eshrules for around £16 delivered (might be a bit more for N.I.) and download a copy of 409 shareware. this would get you up and running on XP. is you wanted it running on vista, you would need to buy direct from ross-tech to get their latest version of vag com. that would be around $230 + shipping and duty.

you can always register a shareware downloaded copy of 409 which would cost $99 for a license (from ross-tech) and would give you full 409 functionailty, but you would still need an aftermarket cable.

We've been in business for almost 8 years now and have never charged any kind of recurring fee, and software updates have always been free.

Yeah, lots of pirated stuff is sold all over the web, and often doesn't work correctly. Here's real source for VAG COMMANDER:

This is highly specialized stuff -- not normal diagnostics.

Yes, that is vag commander's main website. I tried to buy the programmer from them but they referred me to their vendors. I think they offer software downloads.
