advice on buying VCDS/VCDS-lite

[martin1810]

Got mine from ilexa a few years ago. Even at £300 it represents good value for money. An equivalent tool for most other car makes is at least 10 times that amount.

*Removed link to company selling pirated products.*

No, that is a company selling pirated rubbish. Quoting a small clip from that production description page "...and give access to the exact same features and functionally as the genuine Ross Tech cable but at the quarter of the price!"


Please see our Authorized Distributor list.

Ross-tech don't discount their product, so anyone offering a substantial price reduction is probably selling a pirate copy.

Ok thanks. I don't intend buying a pirate copy, just asking before I buy. Wasn't sure if the forum had discounts set up with the distributors.

You dont ask, you dont get. It really is worth every penny and compared to my Snap Solus which costs me updates as well as the purchase of over £2000, its value for money
