VAG-COM - Ross-Tech is CONFUSING!!

[2.7 S-line]

if you do decide to buy the hex-can it does come with a very easy to understand set up guide and once up and running you can work out how to use it pretty quickly

'spose vcds isn't as user friendly as it could be and the user interface is a bit 1990's looking i would imagine thats probably true of most diagnostic software

i was very impressed with the service from ross-tech , got my cable delivered to my door in the uk 2 days after ordering (i was very impressed as previous US on-line purchases have taken ages to get to me ) - no customs charges etc

It's 90's looking to keep the computer resources required to a minimum such that it is not a memory/disk pig like so many other Vista and Windows bloat hogs. Our rule is, "Keep It Simple and Fast". Other tools, including the factory tools, are older looking and are much slower.

Thanks for the kind words. We do try. But, you will get your duties billed to you by FedEx. Expect the bill within 2 weeks or so. I'm told the amount is now 15%.

Whenever I've dealt with Ross-Tech the service has been perfect.

I can only think of one other manufacturer specific diagnostic program and that is Opel Tech for Opel/Vauxhall.

The VAG-COM/VCDS program is worth it's weight in gold.
