Vagcom: Ebay or Ross-Tech?

Looking to buy vagcom, I’m curious as to whether or not the eBay cables are worth it/work.

I need a USB-HEX-CAN I believe (going to be used on a 2002 and 2004 jetta 1.8t) correct me if I’m wrong.

Would like to go the cheapest route, Ross-Tech is way too expensive to buy new, is it better to buy used Ross-Tech or buy the eBay cable and just use the free software from Ross-Tech?

If you want the software to work properly, get genuine. That way you can do a lot more than simple code reading/clearing. Also, for the '02/04 MkIV’s, you don’t have to have a CAN-enabled interface. If you want it to be forward-compatible, then get a HEX.

Off the website what model exactly would I be looking for?

KII-USB Interface is all you NEED.

But I would get

HEX-USB+CAN Interface

incase you ever get a new VW/Audi

I have one (HEX USB Ross Tech one). It’s 1 month old. I think I’m selling it.

That’s what I was thinking too Mike, just in case. Thanks

Daddie, PM me a price, if you’re considering selling it I’ll probably scoop it up

I have an ebay that matched up with the free version of vagcom… Now I have the full version figured out a way to get the full version. My ebay cable works fine with it nothings locked.
