    I've got a full licensed version of VCDS bought it about 8 years ago and it's been one of my best purchases, it's same me more money that I can think about and made me a fair amount of money as well.

    I'm now looking at buying VAG CAN Pro as I want to start mucking around with firmware and the stuff VCDS just wont allow. The cost of the cable is not that bad around £200 and from what I understand to get the latest update you need to buy a yearly license which is around £30 again cheap enough. So anyone got any comment on VAG CAN Pro and how there tech support is, I email sales yesterday but no response as yet?

    On another forum I got some great info on VAG CAN PRO , I don't think this forum have any users of it.

    Email support is not very forthcoming from the manufacturer/seller.

    Some modules it can do FW updates and from what answers I got it was mainly modules with CP it doesn't handle well for FW update.

    AVDI seems to be a better product from what I've read on another forum, but dearer for the genuine article plus does Link:- CP removal

    I know a forum member on hear who can share experience about AVDI.

    Cheers, I think I'm going to make a purchase anyway. You are right about the email support I've still not got any thing back from them.

    There was a post on the other forum which was from a VCDS and VCP user that stated preference of how output tests / automated diagnostics was better with VCP than VCDS and possibly more of them.

    I have VCP. In my opinion its a great tool but its much more complicated than VCDS. It also has few more options which VCDS dont have i.e. new ABS pump adaptation with long coding (additional option)

    Finally got my cable on order. Interested to see what it's like. One thing I would say it was almost £50 cheaper ordering it direct from vag-tech than ordering from the UK supplier.

    Shame their support is poor, VCDS support has always been very good.

    You will enjoy it mate. Much more functions than on vcds.
    And lot of One Clicks Options i.e. adaptation of G85 is done when car is stationary instead vcds when you have to drive it a bit.

    The only down side that I can see so far is the USB hardware dongle, I've got a Surface Pro 3 tablet and it only has 1 USB port, Will have to find a small 2port USB hub.
